Wiring AC Power
Revision E Power 2-5
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 recommended).
• Make sure proper wiring is being used. Refer to the following table:
Table 2-2. Wire Gauge versus Run for 208/230VAC
Note:Table 2-2 assumes a dedicated circuit. Additional loads require that the wire size be
increased or the distance of the run be decreased.
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. Replace the High Voltage cover and
secure it. See Figure 2-3.
4. Access the input power wires by removing the
two Phillips-head screws that secure the High
Voltage Junction Box Cover. See Figure 2-2.
5. Wire nut or crimp bond the power supply
wires to the black, red, and white lead wires
coming from the AC power switch (no label).
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.
