CLOSE/OPEN PHOTO/EDGE (#s 9, 10, 12, & 13) can be continuous commands as noted on page 18. Labels identify the function of each of the terminals on the strip. See the TERMINAL STRIP Reference Chart on pages 17-19 related to each terminal number for an explanation of each of the inputs.

The transformer mounted in the GS4000 Control Box can be used power an accessory equipment item such as a radio receiver. This is a Class II transformer and is equipped with an internal fusible link. If this link is "blown" the transformer must be replaced. The transformer is powered whenever the GS4000 main power switch is ON. The maximum power that can be supplied by the transformer for an accessory equipment item is 20 VA or about 1 Ampere at 24VAC. This is usually sufficient to supply an accessory equipment item such as a radio receiver. Check the equipment for its power specifications.

THE MAXIMUM POWER DRAW FOR ALL AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT EXCEED 20 VA IF POWER IS SUPPLIED FROM THE GS4000 CONTROL BOARD. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS RESTRICTION WILL DAMAGE THE GS4000 CONTROL BOARD AND VOID ANY WARRANTY.

All auxiliary equipment devices must be of the type that require both sides of the transformer supplying power be "floating" and not grounded. The GS4000 auxiliary equipment low voltage power, terminals 1 & 2, is not referenced to ground. FAILURE

TO OBSERVE THIS RESTRICTION WILL DAMAGE THE GS4000 CONTROL BOARD AND VOID ANY WARRANTY.

C:INSTALLING THE OPERATOR

WIRING RADIO RECEIVERS TO THE TERMINAL STRIP

Radio Receivers MUST be of the 4 wire connection hook-up type (where the power input for the receiver is separate from the receiver’s output connection). The 4 wire version is necessary as the GS4000 control board 24 VAC output is not referenced to ground. See Figure 16 and the following text for proper connection.

FOUR WIRE RECEIVERS

Four wire receivers replace the "spade" terminals on the RECEIVER with 4 wires. These wires are typically color coded. The instructions with the receiver must be carefully followed to properly connect the receiver. For any 4 wire receiver, two of the wires will be for power input and two will be for the relay contacts. Connect the two wires for the power input to terminals 1 and 2 (24 VAC). Connect one of the two wires for the relay to terminal #4 (RADIO OPEN) or terminal #3 (ALTERNATE) depending on the function desired (see descriptions on the chart on pages 17 - 19) and the other wire to terminal #16 (COMMON) on the GS4000 terminal strip. See Figure 16 for connecting 4 wire receivers to the GS4000.

NOTE: IF THE 4 WIRE RECEIVER INSTRUCTIONS SHOW THAT TWO OF THE WIRES ARE OF THE SAME COLOR AND ARE COMMON CONNECTIONS INSIDE THE RECEIVER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THIS RECEIVER AS WIRED WITH THE GS4000 CONTROL BOX. THE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS MUST BE SEPARATE FROM THE RECEIVER OUTPUT CONNECTIONS WITH NO COMMON REFERENCES INSIDE THE RECEIVER.
