Earth Ground Rod Installation; Wiring - Chamberlain THE ROBO SLIDE Instruction Manual

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the
operator MUST not be performed until disconnecting the
electrical power and locking-out the power via the operator
power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area
MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be
returned to service.
• Disconnect battery and 25 Vdc transformer or solar panel
BEFORE proceeding. Operator MUST be properly grounded
and connected in accordance with local electrical codes.
NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of
adequate capacity.
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified
individual.
All power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected.
NOTE: Calculated using NEC guidelines. Local codes and conditions must be reviewed for suitability of wire installation.
CAUTION
To AVOID damaging 25 Vdc plug-in transformer, it MUST be
enclosed in a suitable weatherproof enclosure and provided
with proper weatherproof fixtures.
Use 14 gauge / 300 watt direct burial, landscape lighting wire
NOT to exceed 1000 ft. for transformer.
Proper grounding gives an electrical charge, such as from an
electrical static discharge or a near lightning strike, a path from
which to dissipate its energy safely into the earth.
Without this path, the intense energy generated by lightning could
be directed towards the Elite gate operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a direct lightning strike, proper
grounding can protect the gate operator in most cases.
The earth ground rod must be located within 3 feet from the Elite
gate operator. Use the proper type earth ground rod for your
local area.
The ground wire must be a single, whole piece of wire. Never
splice two wires for the ground wire. If you should cut the ground
wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity, replace it with a
single wire length.

WARNING
• DO NOT install any wiring or attempt to run the operator
without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that
you install an optional reversing edge BEFORE proceeding
with the control station installation.
• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well
protected. The location of the power disconnect should be
visible and clearly labeled.
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduit.
• BEFORE installing power wiring or control stations be sure to
follow all specifications and warnings described below.
Failure to do so may result in SEVERE INJURY to persons
and/or damage to operator.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
DO NOT disconnect the built-in audio alarm or reset switch.
To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility
lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE
digging more than 18" (46 cm) deep.
