Install Linear Actuator Cable
The linear actuator is supplied with 8’ of cable.
Care should be taken to protect the cable from
damage that might be caused by animals, lawn
equipment etc.
Route the cable into the control box bottom, snap
in 1 ¼” plastic grommet, and secure cable to
control box using the supplied cable clamp and
nylon nut provided as shown. Use a ¼” nutdriver to
secure.
DO NOT plug into control board at this time.
Splicing Linear Actuator Cable or Installing 2nd Linear
Actuator Cable for Dual Gate System.
When adding an extension cable to a single gate actuator cable or when installing a second gate
actuator for Gate 2, the 8 foot actuator cable must be cut and spliced in the following manner.
Once actuator has been installed:
1. Locate the linear actuator 8 pin connector. Measure 18
inches from the connector end and cut the black cable. See
Figure
2. Save this 8 pin connector and pigtail cable for step 8.
3. Install a rain tight junction box on the Gate 2 hinge post
below or near the actuator.
4. Install the extension cable from the junction box at Gate 2 to
the Patriot control box. Route the cable through the bottom
of the junction box and the Patriot control box. Cut the cable
longer than needed for future needs and ease of servicing.
NOTE: The Patriot II Dual Gate Opener system includes 40 feet of extension cable. If
the distance between the junction box and the control box exceeds this distance it is
recommended to purchase a cable that will not require additional splices in the cable.
USAutomatic Part# 630010 can be custom ordered and purchased in any length. Never make
underground splices as moisture in connections will denitely cause system malfunctions.
