2.1 High Voltage Wire Run
The distance shown in the chart is measured in Feet from the operator to the power source. If power wiring is greater than the maximum
distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be
installed for the operator connection. The wire table is based on stranded copper wire. The wire run calculations are based on a power source
with a 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in distance to allow for other losses in the system.
“Optional” Heater Installation Note: When installing a heater, refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations” table on the
instruction sheet with the heater kit for AC power wire run limitations.
This table illustrates the high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations for a single operator.
Reduce the wire distance in half for a primary/secondary dual gate operator application

2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connection
• Route incoming high voltage power
through conduit and into the operator as
shown.
• Be sure wiring is installed in accordance
with local codes. Be sure to color code all
wiring.
• It is recommended that a surge
suppressor be installed on the high
voltage power lines to help protect the
operator and circuit board from surges
and power fluctuations.
• Secondary operator in a dual operator
application gets AC power through the
8-wire interconnection cable that connects
the 2 operators together. See next page.
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE!
DO NOT cycle the operator without the OPEN and CLOSE limit sensors in their specific open and close positions.
The limit sensors or the AC power switch are the only ways to STOP the operator once an open cycle has started. This could
cause damage to the gate and/or operator if the gate opens too far!
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION MUST be connected or the gate operator WILL NOT function.

“Optional” High Voltage Kit Installation Note: When installing a high voltage kit for 208/230/460/575 VAC input power, refer to the “high voltage AC power
wire size and distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with the high voltage kit (P/N 2600-266) for AC power wire run limitations.

SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S)
Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF
position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a
licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior
to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local
code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
