DANGER
Turn OFF AC power at the source (circuit breaker panel) before accessing the
wires in the gate operator. Follow facility Lock Out/Tag Out procedures. Make
sure all power switches are in the OFF position. Follow all electrical code standards
and regulations.
Power connections
Size the primary wires, appropriately. Consider the voltage, horsepower,
and length of the wire run from the main power panel. The electrical
wiring must be properly routed through conduit that enters the
gate operator through its base cutout and feeds through one of the
knockouts in the control box.
Verify you have the proper input voltage and conversion of voltage taps
at the motor and transformer. Measure the line voltage with a volt meter
to distinguish between 208V and 240V branch circuits or between 390V
and 480V branch circuits.
Check that the primary tap on the control transformer matches the line
voltage and frequency that you are connecting to the operator. The
site voltage and operator set voltage must be the same and match
the voltage on the operator motor's nameplate. A label on top of the
transformer identifies the various voltage taps. See illustration.
1. Connect to Power: Three pig tails and a ground are available
for connection to a 1 Phase (1Ø) and 3 Phase (3Ø) power sources.
2. Connect AC Power: Wire nut the incoming power wires to
their appropriate pig tails on the control transformer. Attach the
ground wire to the chassis.

CAUTION
Never connect to the white 120V wire. Make sure the

CAUTION
Wiring of gate operators must conform to NFPA and NEC standards and comply with all local
codes. When the installation is compliant and complete, turn on AC power at the source and at
the control box. For Variable Frequency (VF) operators, make sure the connection wires match
the voltage found on the operator's nameplate.

SlideDriver Installation and Assembly
Wiring AC Power
Site Considerations for AC Power
HySecurity gate operators are intended for permanent installation. Make sure to
review all the information in this manual and prepare the site with the following
considerations:
•
Make sure all electrical wiring is properly routed via conduits.
•
Check the distance of the wire run from the main panel to the gate
operator. Make sure the wire size of the branch circuit supplying power
to the gate operator is large enough to avoid excess voltage drop. See
the wire size charts below.
•
Make sure the available power source matches the electrical
requirements specified on the voltage nameplate.
WARNING
Each gate operator is built to run on a specific line power voltage and phase.
Failure to ensure that the source voltage, phase and frequency match as specified
on the equipment may result in severe damage to the equipment. See "Changing
Electrical Connections in the Field" on page 9.
•
Make sure a 20A circuit (minimum) protected with a 20A Inverse Time
Breaker is provided for all AC power connections.
•
Verify that the operator is electrically grounded per NFPA 780 and NEC
Article 250, and local codes. Refer to the illustration on page 3.
NOTE: Refer to the SlideDriver Programming and Operations manual for Safety, programming,
troubleshooting, maintenance and general information. Note that DC operators do not have a
control transformer. For DC gate operators, refer to the DC Power Supply with HyCharger
supplemental manual provided with the DC Power Supply cabinet.

The AC power disconnect switch
(ON/OFF switch) is located on the
same enclosure (control box) where
the electrical components, Smart

module, etc., are found.
When power is turned ON, a green
status light (D4) on the Smart Touch

appears below the coin battery
and indicates that the processor is
