Wiring 208/230VAC Power
CAUTION
All StrongArmPark DC operators are shipped from the factory as 115VAC units. When connecting to
208/230VAC power, the voltage selector switch on the AC power board must be moved to the 230V
position or damage to the operator will occur and void the Limited Warranty
For the 208/230VAC power connection:
• Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits
as discussed in Wiring 115VAC Power.
• Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5 Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is rec-
ommended).
• Make sure proper wiring is being used. See the chart below.
StrongArmPark DC 208/230VAC: Wire Gauge versus Run
AC Power 14 Gauge Wire 12 Gauge Wire 10 Gauge Wire
One operator 208/230V 2095 ft (639 m) 3350 ft (1021 m) 5300 ft (1615 m)
Two operators 208/230V 1465 ft (446 m) 2350 ft (716 m) 3750 ft (1143 m)
To connect to 208/230VAC power, take the following steps:
1. Make sure the AC power is turned off at its source and the DC and AC power switches on the operator
are in the off position.
2. Remove the High Voltage Protection cover by unscrewing the two Phillips-head screws that secure it.
3. Toggle the voltage selector switch from 115V to 230V.
4. Access the input power wires by removing the two Phillips-head screws that secure the High Voltage
Junction Box Cover.
5. Wire nut or crimp bond the power supply wires to the black and white lead wires coming from the AC
power switch.
6. Wire nut or crimp bond the equipment ground wire to the green ground wire in the junction box.
DANGER
To use the service outlet with 208/230VAC, a separate neutral wire (white) must be run from the power
source. Make sure the incoming power wires are sized appropriately to support the load expected on
the service outlet. Follow guidelines per the National Electrical Code Article 250.
7. Neatly organize all wire connections and secure the Junction Box Cover with the two Phillips-head screws.
8. Place the 208V or 230V 1Ø label on the Junction Box Cover over the 115V 1Ø label.
