Feed the low voltage wires upward through the
strain relief on the bottom of the control box (see
Illustration J). Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control
box.
If accessories (i.e. safety loops, card readers, etc.)
are to be added during this installation, do not
tighten the strain relief screw against the wires
until the accessories have been connected. When
all accessories have been connected, fully tighten
the strain relief screw against the wires.

" off the ends of the low voltage wire
and attach ends to the transformer terminals;
red wire to [RED], black wire to [BLK], (see
Illustration I). A dab of household petroleum
jelly on each terminal will help prevent
corrosion.
We recommend crimping a spade-tongue
terminal (not provided) to the end of each wire
before attaching it to the transformer.
To prevent damage to transformer, make
sure the exposed wire ends do to touch each
other!

DO NOT plug the transformer into outlet.
The transformer will be plugged in during STEP 13.

NOTE: Wires coming from the ground to the
control box should be run through PVC conduit to
protect them from lawn mowers, weed eaters and
grazing animals (see illustrations on page 12).

Measure the distance from the electrical outlet (into which the transformer will be plugged) to the control box,
following the path where the low voltage wire will run. Do not exceed 1000'.
NOTE: Pull approximately 1 foot of extra wire to accommodate terminal connections. To maintain adequate
charging power, use appropriate gauge, stranded, direct burial wire (see Accessory Catalog). Do not use telephone
wire or any solid core wire because it will not provide adequate current. Never splice wires together.
