and Gate Activity Chart on page 2.
Step 1
Make sure the control box power switch is OFF.
Step 2
Select the electrical outlet outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this
outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid (allow for an additional 6” to be
pulled into the control box).
Step 3
Lay the low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the
selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up
from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect
them from lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing
animals. Bury the wire in the trench.
Step 4
Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief
opening on the lower left of the control box. Pull 6” to 8” of wire
into the control box.
