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. Upon completion
of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at
that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box 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.
• 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.
• DO NOT disconnect the built-in audio alarm or reset switch.
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 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 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.
To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility
lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE
digging more than 18 inches (46 cm) deep.
