Site Planning and Base Installation for Portal TI Units 6
Document #: PTL1008
1.4.2 Power Requirements
The Portal requires 120 VAC, 8 Amps service. In applications where barrier gates
are to be used, each gate requires 120 VAC, 5 Amps service. The Portal and Gate
must be powered from separate circuits.
Note:
Ensure the protective earth ground wires do not carry any motor return current. Only
the neutral wire should carry return current. Follow local electrical code when wiring
the Portal TI.
1.4.3 Site Wiring Requirements
Wiring requirements will vary by site depending on the type of wash equipment and
the Portal configuration. The following table shows site wiring, which may be needed.
As wires are pulled through conduit, ensure there is at least 6 ft. of wire extending
from the end of the conduit stub.
