Accessory Wiring Information
USAutomatic Patriot gate operators are +12 vdc powered. Solar charged operators do not require 110 VAC for
proper operation. Accessories that operate at +12 vdc can be connected directly to the control board or the
battery. Proper accessory selection must be made so that the accessories installed do not drain the solar charged
operator battery.
If accessories selected operate at 110 VAC then it will be necessary to have 110 VAC power located at the
operator control box. Refer to local building codes and have a qualified electrician install the 110 VAC power.
Types of Accessories
USAutomatic Patriot control boards are designed to operate with all accessories. Understanding the control
board inputs and the desired operation of each accessory is essential when designing the gate operator system.
Solar friendly accessories are essential in designing a proper solar gate operator. Contact USAutomatic for
information on recommended solar friendly accessories for your solar gate operator.
