Wiring your Auto Crossing Gate to a power source
Y
our Auto Crossing Gate operates best at 12-18 volts (AC). Have an adult strip 1⁄4" of
insulation from both ends of the three wires included with the Auto Crossing Gate, if they
have not already been stripped.
Only an adult should perform this task. Always use care when stripping wires.
Connect one wire to each terminal post on the base of the accessory. Then connect the other
ends to the #153C Contactor and transformer as shown in Figure 2 below. We recommend that
you connect the Crossing Gate to the same 135C Contactor.
To connect a wire to the Contactor’s spring clips, press down the upper half of the spring clip
terminal until the lower part projects through the slot. Insert the bare wire end into the loop,
then release the upper part of the clip. Spring tension will hold the wire tight.
This accessory will also operate using an insulated track section (available
separately).
