ENCLOSURE KIT INSTALLATION OPTIONS
There are two available choices for Battery Enclosure Kit installations.
For MM271 and MM272 installations, the Battery Enclosure Kit will need to be installed separately from the Control Box (see
Figure 1). This method is NOT required for MM371W, MM372W and TS571W installations, but it may be used.
Separate Battery Enclosure Kit (required for MM271 and MM272)
Battery Enclosure Kit Combined with Control Box (available for MM371W, MM372W and TS571W)
This option allows MM371W, MM372W and TS571W owners to mount the Battery Enclosure Kit behind the Control Box and
cover.
See Mount the Battery Enclosure Kit on page 7.

MOUNT THE BATTERY ENCLOSURE KIT
1. Insert the Strain Relief tting into the access
hole on the bottom of the Battery Enclosure
Kit, then snap it into place.
2. Identify a suitable mounting location for the
Battery Box, within 6’ of the control box.
NOTE: For MM371W, MM372W and TS571W
systems, the Battery Box may be placed where
the Control Box is currently located. The Control
Box will be attached to the Battery Box at the
end of the process.
NOTE: If the mounting surface is not wood (such
as a metal post), you must use a wood panel
between the box and the metal post which
requires additional hardware (not supplied).
3. Once you’ve identied a suitable mounting
location, mount the Battery Enclosure Kit
using the provided mounting screws.
NOTE: Orient the Battery Enclosure Kit with the
arrow on the inside of the box pointed up.

MM271 INSTALLATION PREPARATION
In order to install the Battery Kit to your existing MM271 gate arm system, the wiring harness currently connected to the
MM271 Control Box will need to be modied using a section of a newly provided wiring harness. NOTE: DO NOT attempt to
disconnect the wiring harness from the MM271 Control Box.
