Low Voltage Supply Option
TIP:
The operator is equipped with a Modular Power Box that can be relocated to
provide power for low voltage installations. Supplies 24VAC to the operator.
! Caution: Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT
connect the “Power Harness” to the Control Board until the electrical installation is
complete and ready for verification.
24V AC
115/ 2 30V AC
Connect to the Power Harness Green & White wires
MAXIMUM DISTANCE:
400 ft. with 10 AWG wire
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Remove the “Power Box” from the operators chassis and relocate to the nearest high
voltage source (115V or 230V single phase AC). Follow local codes or guidelines.
! Tip: Solar efficiency can be increased
by activating the “Pre-Warning”
feature. The “Aux. Pwr” terminals
will provide 24VDC to all nonessential
controls, beginning 3 seconds prior to
gate movement, until the gate reaches
either limit. (page 23)

! IMPORTANT: The number of cycles achieved daily is dependent on many factors,
including local solar radiation data and power consumption of the motor and
accessories. It is very important that you consider this when using solar power.
