Connecting your Gateman to a Transformer
To power your automatic gateman with a CW-80 Transformer (6-14198), you will need the 8"
3-pin female pigtail (6-82038 - SOLD SEPARATELY) and the included remote control box to
connect to the transformer terminals. Make sure that all connections are secure. Loose connections
can produce extremely high temperatures. For this reason, do not touch the terminals or track
connections during use. Also, do not locate scenery materials such as lichen or ground foam near
the terminals.
1. Plug in the 3-pin male connector on the gateman to the 3-pin female slot on
the remote control box.
2. Plug in the 3-pin male connector on the remote control box to the 3-pin
female slot on the pigtail.
3. Loosen the red TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then place the red wire on the
metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the red thumbscrew
until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
4. Loosen the black TRACK thumbscrew terminal, then place the black wire
on the metal terminal bar. Still holding the wire end, tighten the black
thumbscrew until secure. Be sure that the wire is touching the metal post.
5. Plug the CW-80 Transformer into your wall outlet (120 volts).
6. Apply 12-14 volts of power by raising the orange throttle on the transformer.
