Wiring 208/230VAC Power
For the 208/230VAC power connection:
z
Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage
(12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through
two separate conduits as discussed in Wiring
115VAC Power.
z
Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5
Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A
dedicated circuit is recommended).
z
Make sure proper wiring is being used. Refer to
the following table:

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 Protection
cover and secure it.
NOTICE
Table 6 assumes a dedicated circuit. Additional
loads require that the wire size be increased or
the distance of the run be decreased.
4.
Access the input power wires by removing the
two Phillipshead screws that secure the High
Voltage Protection Cover.
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.
7.
Neatly organize all wire connections and
secure the High Voltage Protection Cover with
the two Phillips-head screws.
8.
Place the 208V or 230V 1Ø label on the High
Voltage Protection Cover over the 115V 1Ø
label.

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.
