WIRING AC POWER SWITCH + CONNECT BATTERIES AC POWER SWITCH The AC Power switch on the operator will turn the incoming 120/240 Vac power ON or OFF. The operator's AC Power switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn off battery power.
WIRING CONNECT BATTERIES CONNECT BATTERIES CONTINUED... 33AH BATTERIES The batteries are charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The batteries (without heater) are for battery backup or solar installation. The 33AH application requires the 33AH wire harness (Model K94-36596). NOTE: If 33AH batteries (2) are used, the battery tray underneath the heater will need to be removed to allow more space in the enclosure (if applicable).
WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY There are two options for dual gate communication: wired or wireless. Follow the directions according to your application. Do not use wired and wireless communication simultaneously. Wired dual gate applications will have a longer battery standby time than wireless applications. WIRELESS DUAL GATES TO ACTIVATE THE WIRELESS FEATURE: Choose an operator to be the network primary operator.
WIRING DUAL GATES ONLY DUAL GATES ONLY CONTINUED... WIRED DUAL GATES Before digging, contact local underground utility locating companies. Use PVC conduit to prevent damage to cables.
