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 the site input voltage and phase match what is
marked on the operator.
1. Connect to Power: Pigtails are provided for
connection of input power.
Note: Make sure a 20A circuit (minimum) protected with
a 20A Inverse Time Breaker is provided for all AC
power connections.
Note: 50F and 80V 1Ø operators require 30A breaker as
well as 200V 3Ø operators. All other AC operators
require 20A breakers.
WIRING AC POWER
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.
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 operators, make sure
the connection wires match the voltage found on the
operator's nameplate.
TURNING THE POWER SWITCH ON
The power disconnect switch (power switch) is located on
the bottom right of the electrical enclosure.
