Viking Access Systems f1 gate manual Low Voltage Supply Option, Solar Supply Option

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Low Voltage Supply Option

TIP: The operator is equipped with a Modular Power Box that can be relocated to provide power for low voltage installations. Supplies 24VAC to the operator.

!Caution: Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT connect the “Power Harness” to the Control Board until the electrical installation is complete and ready for verification.

Remove the “Power Box” from the operators chassis and relocate to the nearest high voltage source (115V or 230V single phase AC). Follow local codes or guidelines.

MAXIMUM DISTANCE:

500 ft. with 10 AWG wire

Solar Supply Option

Vikings Solar Package (part # VA-SOCHP) is an efficient and effective solution to powering the operator with solar energy. (See page 46 for package details)

!Tip: Solar efficiency can be increased

by activating the “Pre-Warning” A feature. The “Aux. Pwr” B terminals will then provide power to all nonessential controls beginning 3 seconds prior to gate movement and while the gate is moving. (page 25)

A B

Connect the two panels in series.

Connect the batteries in series.

Disconnect the operators power harness and use the Solar Harness.

!IMPORTANT: The number of cycles achieved daily is dependent on many factors, including local solar radiation data and power consumption of the motor and accessories. It is very important that you consider this when using solar power.
