Low Voltage Supply Option
TIP:
As an alternative to high voltage, the operator can be power by 24VAC. It is
recommended to use Vikings Modular Power Box (
part # VNXMPB) as the source.
!
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.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Install the “Modular Power Box” at the nearest high voltage source (115v or 230v single
phase) and connect to the controller’s Power Harness. Follow local codes or guidelines.
Solar Supply Option
Vikings Solar Package (
part # VA-SOCHP) is an efficient and effective solution to
powering the operator with solar energy.
(See page 40 for package details)
Disconnect the operators
power harness and use the
Solar Harness.
Connect the two
panels in series.
Connect the batteries
in series.
!
IMPORTANT:
The number of cycles achieved daily is dependent on the average solar
radiation of the geographic location and the power consumption of all accessories
being used. Increased panel and battery capacities may be required. See Appendix C
on page 39 for more important information regarding solar applications.
!
Tip:
For increased solar efficiency:
By activating the “Pre-Warning”
feature , the “Brake” terminals
will provide power to all non-essential
controls beginning 3 seconds prior to
gate movement and while the gate is
moving. (page 19)
