Electric gate opener

[OLD BOB]

Has anyone here ever installed an Aleko gate opener. The instructions go into great detail but fail to show how the 110 v power is connected to the control box.
I can see marking on the circuit board for the connection but the plug in for the power wire is so small that I can not see how it can power a 2hp motor.
thanks for any help.

I can’t answer your question from experience with an Aleko opener, but I have an Apollo gate opener and it runs off of a 12V battery that is recharged by a solar panel. The 120V option adds a transformer to the circuit that gets directly connected to the 120V power supply, and the DC output from the transformer gets connected to the circuit board. I would guess that the Aleko gate circuit board would be wired in the same way, and this may account for the small wire terminals that you are seeing.

Thanks but it shows to have a 2hp ac motor.
