Typical Gate Wiring Connection:
• Reference Wires:
o RED => Input Voltage (+)
o SHIELD => Ground/Common (–)
o BLACK => Relay’s Common
o BLUE => Relay’s Normally Open
o YELLOW => Remote WAND [Range adjustment potentiometer (POT)]
• Terminology Definitions:
o ‘FREE EXIT/ENTRY’: defined as input terminals (2) that upon activation (momentarily connected together) will
cause the gate to run in the open direction only. Note: In most gate operators, one of the two terminals is the ‘COM-
MON/GND’.
• Power supply connection:
o DC power supply: (11-36 Vdc)
ß Connect the positive (+) wire of the power supply to the RED wire.
ß Connect the negative (-) wire of the power supply to the SHIELD wire.
o AC power supply: (8-26 Vac)
ß Connect the power supply to the RED & SHIELD wires. There is no polarity for AC power supply.
• Relay output connection:
o Connect the BLUE from the WAND to the ‘FREE EXIT/ENTRY’ of the gate operator.
o Connect the BLACK from the WAND to the ‘COMMON/GND’ of the gate operator.
• Range (POT) board connection:
o Connect the YELLOW from the WAND to the YELLOW from the Range Adjustment Board.
o Connect the BLACK from the Range Adjustment Board to a negative input voltage.
o Turn the POT clockwise to increase range.
o Turn the POT counter-clockwise to decrease range.
