Electrical Wiring an
d Limit Switches
Most installations will require temporary wiring to be connected for power to set t e motor limits and test
t e curtain. Permanent wiring will be installed later by t e electrical contractor.
For temporary power to t e motor, a test
cord as s own can be manufactured
locally or purc ased from t e factory. In
order to provide t e required voltage and
amperage to t e motor, t e cord must meet
t e required wire sizes for t e specified
distance.
Extension cord for testing must be 16-3 or
eavier up to 25 feet run, 14-3 or eavier
for 25 to 50 feet run, 12-3 or eavier for
50 to 90 feet run, and 10-3 or eavier for
90 to 140 feet runs.
Test Cord Schematic
Damage caused due to inadequate electrical supply will not be covered under warranty.
