Chamberlain 923GA User manual

BATTERY BOX INSTALLATION
The cold-weather battery kit MUST be located close to the gate
operator’s control box in an area that is not prone to flooding, may be hit
by gate or knocked over.
1. Place the battery box in the selected site near the control box.
2. Remove cover of the battery box. Set the sealed lead-acid battery
(not provided) inside the battery box with the terminals on top.
3. Connect the battery cable with the 20A ATC fuse to the battery (this is
the battery cable harness). Attach the ring terminal on the red wire to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Attach the ring terminal on the
black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
NOTE: Batteries with a capacity other than 75AH may be used. However,
an AH rating significantly less than 75 will decrease cold temperature
performance and is not recommended.

To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons:
• Use ONLY Chamberlain part 923GA.
• DO NOT dispose of the batteries in fire. The cells may explode.
Check with local codes for possible disposal instructions.
• DO NOT open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is
corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be
toxic if swallowed.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the
battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and
keys.
• Change the batteries provided with or identified for use with this
product ONLY in accordance with the instructions and limitations
specified in this manual.
• Observe proper polarity orientation between the batteries and
charging circuit.

The 923GA Cold-Weather Battery Kit is compatible with Chamberlain®
Gate Access Systems GA400D and GA420D. The purpose of the
Cold-Weather Battery Kit is to enable the operator to function in
temperatures as low as -40 °C for short durations. An added benefit of
the kit is to extend the battery backup time for solar powered
applications. The 923GA Cold-Weather Battery Kit is designed to work
with a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery only (not provided).
BEFORE STARTING
Verify carton inventory below. In addition, a UL Recognized,
BCI Group 24, 12V 75 or 80 AH sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery MUST
be purchased separately. See chart for manufacturers.
NOTES:
• Make sure the battery is fully charged BEFORE installing.
• The battery harness has ring terminals that are to be bolted to the
battery terminals. Select the battery that matches this type of
terminal, otherwise purchase terminals that match the battery.

CONNECT TO GATE OPERATOR CONTROL BOX
1. Disconnect all power to the gate operator before proceeding.
2. Use a screwdriver to punch out the plastic knockout at the bottom
of the control box. Install the watertight connector.
3. Feed the non-connector end of the extension cable through the
watertight connector from the inside of the control box. Tighten
the watertight connector until the cable is secure.
4. Run the extension cable to the battery box and connect the black
wire of the extension cable to the black wire of the terminal block
on the battery cable. Connect the white wire to the red wire.
5. Connect the battery connectors on the control board to the
connector on the extension cable in the control box.
NOTE: Some systems may have both battery connectors in use.
Disconnect one of the internal 7 AH batteries and use the connector to
connect the external battery. The unused 7 AH battery can be removed
from the system.
6. Verify that the gate operator operates correctly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the gate operator does not operate correctly, the
wiring may be incorrect. Also, if the battery has been discharged,
disconnect it and charge separately. Refer to troubleshooting for more
tips.
7. Use the wire ties to secure the cables.
8. Reconnect power to the operator.
9. Close the cover on the control box.
10. Place the cover on the top of the battery box. Be sure all drain
holes and air vents are properly opened.

External Battery Connector
Control Board Connector
System does not power up when external
battery is connected.
1. Wires may be swapped. Verify that all wires are properly connected.
2. Battery is not charged. It is possible that the 12V battery (not provided) was not fully charged
when installed. Use a voltmeter to make sure this battery is good and has at least 12V across the
open circuit terminals.
3. Blown fuse. It is possible that a fuse, either in the battery cable harness or on the operator
control board, may have been blown during the installation. If a blown fuse is found, first check
all wiring to make sure it is correct, and then replace the fuse with the same size and type.
System powers up but does not
run correctly.
1. Wires may not be properly connected. Verify all connections for the installation. Batteries are
required for the operator to run.
2. Blown fuse. It is possible that a fuse, either in the battery cable harness or on the operator
control board, may have been blown during the installation. If a blown fuse is found, first check
all wiring to make sure it is correct, and then replace the fuse with the same size and type.
3. Battery is not charged. It is possible that the 12V battery (not provided) was not fully charged
when installed. Use a voltmeter to make sure this battery is good and has at least 12V across the
open circuit terminals.
4. Debris or other obstructions are affecting gate travel. Make sure that the battery box and
connecting wires are clear of the gate. Clear the gate of all obstructions and verify all safety
devices are operating properly.
