A MAX Magic Box Kit (sold separately) is required to remotely install the MAX PS-24 Power Supply.
Remove MAX PS-24 power supply from gate operator and install in MAX Magic Box, plug in power supply to PS-24 connector.
Wire input AC power to the MAX PS-24 Power Supply.
Choose either 115V or 230V setting on input AC power selector switch. Run 24V low voltage wires (10 AWG min, not included)
from the MAX Magic Box connection and wire to POWER/SOLAR IN connector (Polarity Matters!). Plug connector into
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 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 Rod
within 10 ft
of Box
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.
