m Before making any electrical
connections be sure that the power is
switched off. If the gate operator is a
standard 115 Volt model, run conduit
from the 115 Volt power source into the
gate operator. The gate operator is
provided with a 90 degree flexible
conduit fitting for installations where the
electrical box is relatively close. Because
of the 90 degree fitting, it is generally
easier to run the electrical wires through
the flexible conduit before attaching the
conduit. Wiring for other devices such as
push buttons may also be run at this
time either in the same conduit or in
another.
m If not already done, run three 12
gauge wires (hot, neutral, and ground)
from the power source, through the
conduit and into the gate operator. It is
easiest to run these wires back out of
the large hole in the operator along with
the three existing wires. This allows the
connections to be made externally and
then later inserted back into the operator
through the large hole. Be sure to use
wire nuts to secure these connections.
Make the connections as follows:
Black to (hot)
White to (neutral)
Green to (ground)
m If the gate operator is a battery
back-up model, it is packaged from the
factory with the battery disconnected.
Connect the red wire to the positive
battery terminal and the black wire to the
negative battery terminal. There are
wires provided for connecting the low
voltage burial cable from the float
charger to the gate operator. The burial
cable may be run through the knock-out
in the bottom of the battery enclosure
and then connected to the two wires
provided. Be sure that the positive and
negative match the positive and negative
of the charger.
