1.4.2 Power Requirements
The Portal requires 120 VAC, 8 Amps service. In applications where barrier gates are to be
used, each gate requires 120 VAC, 5 Amps service. The Portal and Gate must be powered
from separate circuits.
Ensure the protective earth ground wires do not carry any motor return current. Only
the neutral wire should carry return current. Follow local electrical code when wiring
the Portal TI+.
