Step 7 Earth Ground Rod; Step 8 Power Wiring - Chamberlain Elite CSW200501UL Installation Manual

Step 7 Earth Ground Rod

Use the proper earth ground rod for your local area. The ground wire
must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the
ground wire. If you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or
destroy its integrity, replace it with a single wire length.
1. Install the earth ground rod within 3 feet (.9 m) of the operator.
2. Run wire from the earth ground rod to the operator.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.

Step 8 Power Wiring

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator
l
MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC
or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power
switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared
and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operator
l
MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with
national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a
separate fused line of adequate capacity.
For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduits. An optional Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage (208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120
Vac (refer to Accessories).
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.

DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without
l
consulting the wiring diagram.
ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.
l
The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly
labeled.
ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduit.
