Mount the control box within 4 feet of the pivot arm. 
Do not mount the control box where the person 
using the push button on side of the box can 
come in contact with the gate. Use mounting 
hardware capable of supporting the weight of the 
control box with the battery installed. 

Set battery inside of control box with terminals 
toward the front (Do not use any battery with side 
terminals). 

Connect actuator cable to the “MASTER” connector on the 
control board.  
 
If a 1650 Dual Operator is being installed and conduit is 
being used under the drive (recommended), cut the slave 
(opposite side where control box is mounted) actuator cable 
about 12” from the white connector. Run the remaining 
cable across the drive through conduit and up through the 
control box. Cutoff any excess cable and splice the short 
piece back to the cable.* Connect to the “SLAVE” connector 
on the control board. 
 
Connect the RED power wire (s) to the battery positive ( + ) 
and the BLACK power wire (s) to the battery negative ( - )

* Instead of cutting the slave cable, remove the pins on the plug with a jeweler's common blade 
screwdriver or appropriate tool (the staples on the actuator shipping carton work great) ,run the 
cable through the conduit and reinsert the pins into the plug.
