Control and Battery Box
120 Volt indoor
Transformer
(surge protector
not supplied)
Run 1000' (max.) of low
voltage wire to control
box from transformer
(wire not included).
Step 4
Bring enough wire up through the PVC conduit to reach the control
board.
Step 5
Strip 3 / 16 " off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach
these ends to the 14VAC OR SOLAR terminals located on the terminal
block). Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each other!
Insert one transformer wire into a 14VAC OR SOLAR terminal. Insert the
other transformer wire into the remaining 14VAC OR SOLAR terminal.
The transformer wires can be connected to the 14VAC OR SOLAR
terminals regardless of color/polarity.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires.
Step 6
At the AC outlet, strip 1 / " of insulation from the ends of the low voltage
2
wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer terminals. We
suggest adding crimp on fork lugs to the end of each wire before
attaching it to the transformer.
First Gate Opener
PVC conduit (not included)
to protect wire from lawn
mowers and weed eaters.
Make sure the exposed wires do not
touch each other!
Step 3
Lay the measured length of low voltage wire
in a trench following a path from the selected
electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming
up from the ground should be run through PVC
conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades,
weedeaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to
bury the wire laid in the trench.
