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!!

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 calcula-
tions are based on the NEC recommended maximum 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in
distance to allow for other losses in the system.
230 and 460 Volt 3-phase
input, use only two legs
of the incoming 3-phase
power.
Never run low voltage rated wire insulation in the same conduit as high voltage rated wire insulation.

• Route incoming high voltage
power in it’s OWN conduit.
• 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.
• Dual operators (Primary/Secondary)
require AC power to each operator.
Keep wire clear of all moving parts.
DO NOT power up and cycle the operator until
the “DIP-Switches” have been set for the 1603
model (See pages 20 and 21).
The operator will not function properly unless the
switches have been correctly set.
“Optional” 3.3 Amp Heater Installation Note: When installing the heater, refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and
distance requirements” table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit (P/N 1601-092) for AC power wire run requirements.
