SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS
PRODUCT PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION
This product is intended to only be installed by a qualified professional technician. The warranty on the
equipment may be voided if not properly installed. Warranty claims should be directed to the company or
entity that sold the equipment. Purchasing non-installed equipment may later hinder any warranty claim
because of conflict between the equipment provider and the installer entity. It is highly recommended for the
system to be supplied and installed by a single entity.
SOLAR POWERED SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
The ECOSOL solar powered system is intended for residential applications and light commercial gate
operation with limited cycles per day. While our system can operate over 300 cycles and/or provide over 2
weeks of standby time on fully charged batteries, it needs enough standby time to fully recharge the
batteries or it will eventually run out of charge to operate the system. We highly recommend to keep the
system as simple as possible and avoid adding accessories that draw current from the batteries. The ECOSOL
interface board manages energy consumption and powers down all components, accessories and peripherals
that are not required to operate while the gate is fully closed or after 5 minutes of inactivity. For optimum
performance, we recommend the following setup:
One or two actuators (Phobos BT or Igea BT) connected to the ECOSOL system.
●
Two sets of photo-beam obstruction sensors.
●
BFT radio transmitters and/or wireless keypads programmed to the ECOSOL's built-in low consumption
●
receiver.
Automatic closing timer enabled.
●
Anytime, additional accessories are added, it is suggested to increase the systems charging capacity by
adding a solar panel. See page 15 for further information.
EXISTING GATE CONDITION
Automation should be installed on a gate which is moving freely. Any issue with the smooth opening or
closing of a gate will not be corrected by adding automation.
