POWER WIRING
This operator can be wired for either 120 Vac (standard) or a solar
panel (not provided). Follow the directions according to your application.
For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each
operator. Main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in
separate conduits.
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections or mount
the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference with the operator.

1
Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker.
2
Run the AC power wires to the control box.
3
Remove the junction box cover.
4
Connect the green wire to the earth ground rod wire using a wire nut.
5
Connect the white wire to NEUTRAL using a wire nut.
6
Connect the black wire to HOT using a wire nut.
7
Replace the junction box cover. Ensure the wires are not pinched.
NOTE: The operator can also be wired for 240 Vac application. Refer to the
Accessory page for more information.
NOTE: Use copper conductors ONLY.
