INTRODUCTION SITE PREPARATION Check the national and local building codes BEFORE installation. CONDUIT & CONCRETE PAD SAFETY Entrapment protection devices are required to protect against any Conduit must be UL approved for low and high voltage. Consider entrapment or safety conditions encountered in your gate the operator placement BEFORE installing the pad or post. -
Page 9: Overview Of Typical Installation
INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW OF TYPICAL INSTALLATION NOTE: One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists at either the opening or closing direction. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving. Any gap between the gate and a fixed object such as a wall, pillar, column or the operator itself larger than 2 1/4 inches must be filled. -

INSTALLATION STEP 5 To Operator EARTH GROUND ROD Use the proper 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. - Page 17 INSTALLATION STEP 6 continued... POWER WIRING OPERATOR POWER SOURCE 1. Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker. DIRECT PLUG-IN TRANSFORMER (120 VAC) 2. Run the AC power wires to the operator. Wire Gauge 14 1150 feet (351 m) 3.
