Section 3 — Wiring Control Inputs
1. Test the open and close function of the gate before wiring to accessory devices (external control inputs). This makes it
easier to troubleshoot if an unexpected functionality arises. The Smart Touch Controller has a tact button you can
push which lights an LED next to the active inputs. This button is in bottom left corner of the Smart Touch Controller
board.
2. All the Smart Touch Controller inputs listed below are shown as a single input. The second wire is connected to the
Common Terminal Bus (COM) on the Smart Touch Controller.
NOTE: The Emergency Close and Fire Dept. Open inputs are an exception and require a +24V input. The +24V is
located on the spade terminals next to the Common Bus. Refer to the photograph on the next page.
