low voltage remote power supply kit - optional
A MAX Magic Box Kit (sold separately) is required to remotely install a Remote Toroid 15 Amp box at the AC power source.
Plug in Remote Toroid 15 Amp connector to Power In at MAX Magic Box. Wire input AC power to the Toroid 15 Amp box.
Choose either 115V or 230V setting on input AC power selector switch. Run 24V low voltage wires (not included) from the
MAX Magic Box connection to the gate operator and wire to POWER/SOLAR IN connector (Polarity Matters!).
Remove the Remote Toroid 15 Amp connector from the BC-7 battery module POWER/SOLAR IN port. Plug the Magic Box
At MAX Magic Box
DO NOT TURN POWER
ON AT THIS TIME.

Input AC Power Selector Switch
CAUTION: If power selector switch is
set for 115V but input power is actually
230 V, 7 Amp Fuse will blow.
NOTE: Consult city codes for AC line wiring.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE CIRCUIT
BREAKER IS OFF AT POWER
SOURCE BEFORE WIRING
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum Control's remote
power supply technology does NOT utilize the
battery power from the MAX BC-7 Battery
Module during NORMAL gate operation.
Battery power is reserved for back-up power
ONLY when an AC power failure occurs. As a
result, battery life is NOT shortened.
This low voltage system can CONTINUOUSLY
cycle the gate during NORMAL gate operation,
perfect for high traffic gate applications.

Ground
within 10 ft
of Box
Grounding Rod
MAX Magic Box MUST be
Properly GROUNDED
IMPORTANT: MAX Magic Box and Gate Operator
MUST EACH be Properly GROUNDED. Proper
grounding is a requirement for LIGHTNING
PROTECTION in lightning prone areas. To be
effective, ground connections should be made
with a minimum 12 AWG, 600 volt insulated
wire to a ground point within 10 feet of the MAX
Magic Box and gate operator. The ground point
must be at an electrical panel, a metallic cold
water pipe that runs in the earth, or a grounding
rod.
NOTE: Beware of existing underground services.
