REPLACEMENT OUTLET/CONVERSION KIT TO
PLUG-IN TRANSFORMER
MODEL K76-36296-1
OVERVIEW
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
• ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the
operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the
electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out
the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion
of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at
that time the unit may be returned to service.
• Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.
Operator MUST be properly grounded and connected in
accordance with national and local electrical codes.
NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of
adequate capacity.
• ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified
individual.
• DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator
without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that
you install an edge sensor BEFORE proceeding with the
control station installation.
• ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well
protected. The location of the power disconnect should be
visible and clearly labeled.
• ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in separate
conduit.
The Replacement Outlet/Conversion Kit is ONLY compatible with
120 Vac LA500 gate operators with a standard control box. The
Replacement Outlet/Conversion Kit can replace the current
accessory outlet and/or convert to a plug-in transformer system.
The kit comes with a replacement accessory outlet and a junction
box cover. A plug-in transformer (not provided, Model APOW3) is
necessary for the conversion.
NOTE: The replacement accessory outlet may not be used.
REMOVE THE TOROID ASSEMBLY
1 Disconnect ALL POWER.
2 Open the control box cover and unplug the battery connector
from the J15 plug on the control board (Figure 1-A).
3 Cut the red and black wires going from the battery connector
to the bridge rectifier on the toroid assembly (Figure 1-B). Cap
the wires with wire nuts since they will no longer be used.
4Remove the toroid assembly from the control box by
loosening the four screws and lifting the assembly up and out
(Figure 1-C).
5Disconnect the incoming power wires from the toroid
assembly (Figure 1-D).
6 Disconnect the wires from the accessory outlet to the toroid
assembly (Figure 1-E).
7 Discard the toroid assembly.

INSTALL THE TRANSFORMER
The transformer can be installed inside the control box or it can
be connected to an external receptacle. Follow the instructions
according to your application.
CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION
1Run the AC power wires to the control box (if applicable).
2Connect the green wire from the accessory outlet to the
incoming earth ground rod wire using a wire nut (Figure 2-A).
3Connect the white wire from the accessory outlet to the
incoming NEUTRAL (white) power wire using a wire nut
(Figure 2-A).
4Connect the black wire from the accessory outlet to the
incoming HOT (black) power wire using a wire nut (Figure
2-A).
5Install the junction box cover (Figure 2-B). Ensure the wires
are not pinched.
6Wire the transformer (not provided) to the CHARGER input on
the control board (positive to positive and negative to
negative) (Figure 2-C).

EXTERNAL RECEPTACLE INSTALLATION
1Run low voltage wire between the control box and the external
receptacle (Figure 3-A). The transformer must be located in a
dry location that is protected from weather conditions, such
as inside the house or garage.
2Install the junction box cover (Figure 3-B). Ensure the wires
are not pinched.
