stop it is still recommended to have a closed stop post because having a start and stop point per-
manently in place may extend the life of the operator by absorbing some of the momentum of
the gate during open and close cycles.
•16 gauge 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire will be required to run
power to your operator. Length is determined by distance between transformer power supply
and the control box.
•8 - 5/16” Redheads, Lag Screws and shields, or other anchoring system will be needed to
fasten the column brackets to the column. Type will be determined by the type of column.

•Hardware to attach the control box to a post or fence.
•Watertight connectors for running wires into the control box.
•A voltage meter and digital camera may be necessary to run diagnostic checks.
