Low Voltage Supply Option
TIP:
The operator is equipped with a
Modular Power Box
that can be relocated to
provide power for low voltage installations. Supplies 24v AC to the operator.
!
Caution:
Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT
connect the “Power Harness” to the Control Board until the electrical installation is
complete and ready for verification.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Remove the “Power Box” from the operators chassis and relocate to the nearest high
voltage source (115v or 230v single phase AC). Follow local codes or guidelines.
Solar Supply Option
Vikings Solar Package (
part # VA-SOCHP
) is an efficient and effective solution to
powering the operator with solar energy.
(See page 44 for package details)
Disconnect the operators
power harness and use the
Solar Harness.
Connect the two
panels in series.
Connect the batteries
in series.
!
IMPORTANT:
The number of cycles achieved daily is dependent on the average solar
radiation of the geographic location and the power consumption of all accessories
being used. Increased panel and battery capacities may be required. See Appendix C
on page 43 for more important information regarding solar applications.
!
Tip:
For increased solar efficiency:
By activating the “Pre-Warning”
feature,
the “Brake” terminals
will power to all non-essential controls
beginning 3 seconds prior to gate
movement and while the gate is
moving. (page 25)
