Tips for proper ground installation
A good ground in a gate operator
installation will minimize or prevent damage
to the operator cause by natural events such
as lightning strikes.
The following will provide a guideline for
proper grounding:
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground
reference.
2. Consult your city code and be aware of
under-ground services in the site of the
gate operator to prevent inconveniences.
3. Use always a single bonding point for
grounding.
4. All ground wires must be as short and as
thick as possible.
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all
ground wires.

Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board
until the installation is ready for verification.
The X-9 Gate Operator requires a single phase
AC line to operate and charge the batteries.
1. Turn off the main switch or breaker for
the power line being used.
2. Move the selector switch on the Incoming
Voltage Selector to the proper position
(115 for 110 to 120VAC, 230 for 200 to 240VAC).
3. Connect the incoming power wires to the
terminals as shown in the illustration.
4. Turn on the main switch or breaker once
the installation is ready for performance
check and adjustments.
5. Verify that the green ‘Charger’ LED on
the main circuit board is illuminated. If
not, see page 29 for troubleshooting.
