2.1 High Voltage Wire Runs
2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connection
The distance shown in the chart is measured in “Feet” from the operator to the power source. If power wiring is greater
than the maximum distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large gauge wire is used, a
separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection. The wire table is based on stranded copper wire. Wire
run calculations are based on a 110 VAC power source with a 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10%
reduction in distance to allow for other losses in the system.
This table illustrates the high voltage wire size and distance requirements.

SECTION 2 - WIRING
Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF
position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a
licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior
to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local
code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
Section 1 MUST be completed before power can be turned on.
• Route incoming high voltage power through conduit and into the operator
as shown.
• Be sure wiring is installed in accordance with local codes. Be sure to color
code all wiring.
• It is recommended that a surge suppressor be installed on the high voltage
power lines to help protect the operator and circuit board from surges and
power fluctuations.
• Secondary operator in a dual operator application gets power through the
8-wire connector that links the 2 operators together. See 2.8
Primary/Secondary (dual) gate connection.
