WIRING 115VAC POWER
Wiring 115VAC Power
For standard 115VAC power connection:
•
Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through
two separate conduits. The higher voltage from the AC power supply may cause interference and
anomalies in FoldSmart operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same
conduit.
•
Maximum gate system current draw is 3 amps on a dedicated 115VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit
is recommended).
•
Make sure proper wiring is being used. The following table shows the maximum allowable wire run
from the power source to the operator for various wire sizes.
AC Power
14-gauge wire
12-gauge wire
10-gauge wire
One operator 115V
730 ft (223 m)
1200 ft (366 m)
1900 ft (579 m)
Two operators 115V
460 ft (140 m)
750 ft (228 m)
1160 ft (354 m)
Table 1. Wire Gauge versus Run
Table 1 assumes a dedicated circuit with an accessory power load up to 2A. Additional loads require that
the wire size be increased or the distance of the run be decreased.
To connect to 115VAC 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�
Access the input power wires and service outlet wires by removing the two Phillips-head screws
that secure the high voltage junction box cover. See Figure 2
.
3. Terminate the power supply wires to the corresponding black and white lead wires terminated in
the top of the screw terminal termination strip.
4�
Terminate the equipment ground wire to the corresponding green ground wire terminated in the
top of the screw terminal termination strip.
5�
To activate the 115VAC service outlet, include the black and white outlet lead wires and the green
ground wire in the connections made above.
6�
Neatly organize all wire connections and replace the high voltage junction box cover. Secure it with
the two Phillips-head screws.
The service outlet wires are solid
copper and are labelled and bound
together to keep them separate from
the AC power switch wires.
