POWER WIRING

SOLAR PANEL (NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.)
The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading
for the entire day. The gate operator is not supported in northern climates where
temperatures reach below -4˚F. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of
hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart for
areas that reach below 32˚F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for
best performance to ensure proper operation. For solar applications, a minimum of
20W solar panels and two 7AH batteries are recommended. For Zone 3 cold weather
sites, one 33AH battery is recommended. We recommend LiftMaster low power draw
accessories to minimize power draw, refer to accessory page.

CONNECT BATTERIES

The batteries are charged in the circuit by using the transformer (provided) or an
optional solar panel. Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and
usage. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years.
Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. The operator comes
with one 7AH battery. A second 7AH (29-NP712) battery may be added or one 33AH
(A12330SGLPK) may be used in place of the 7AH batteries.
Always disconnect the batteries BEFORE servicing the operator.
NOTE: Setting the battery on concrete will not have a negative affect on the
charging or battery life.
If the installation is a dual gate, proceed to next page.
