3. Connect the incoming power wires to the
terminals as shown in the illustration.

the installation is ready for performance
check and adjustments.

Tips for proper ground installation
A good ground in a gate operator
installation will minimize or prevent damage
to the operator cause by natural events such
as lightning strikes.
The following will provide a guideline for
proper grounding:
Overlap Delay
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground
reference.
2. Consult your city code and be aware of
under-ground services in the site of the
gate operator to prevent inconveniences.
3. Use always a single bonding point for
grounding.
Close Stop Open
4. All ground wires must be as short and as
thick as possible.
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all
ground wires.
