2.1 High Voltage Wire Run
The distance shown in the chart is measured in Feet from the operator to the power source. If power wiring is greater than the
maximum distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed. When large gauge wire is used, a separate
junction box must be installed for the operator connection. The wire table is based on stranded copper wire. The wire run
calculations are based on a power source with a 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in
distance to allow for other losses in the system.
“Optional” Heater Installation Note: When installing a heater, refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size
and distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with the heater kit for AC power wire run limitations.
This table illustrates the high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations for a single operator.
Reduce the wire distance in half for a primary/secondary dual gate operator application

2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connection
• Route incoming high
voltage power through
conduit and into the
operator as shown.
• Be sure wiring is installed
in accordance with local
codes. Be sure to color
code all wiring.
• It is recommended that a
surge suppressor be
installed on the high
voltage power lines to help
protect the operator and
circuit board from surges
and power fluctuations.
• Secondary operator in a
dual operator application
gets AC power through the
8-wire interconnection
cable that connects the 2
operators together. See
next page.
DANGER
HIGH VOLTAGE!
DO NOT cycle the operator without the OPEN and CLOSE limit sensors in their specific
open and close positions.
The limit sensors or the AC power switch are the only ways to stop the operator
once an open cycle has started. This could cause damage to the gate and/or operator if the gate opens too far!

refer to the “high voltage AC power wire size and distance limitations” table on the instruction sheet with the
high voltage kit (P/N 2600-266) for AC power wire run limitations.
