SOLAR PANEL(S)

SOLAR PANELS ARE NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.
33AH Battery Requirements:
• Large Metal Control Box for Solar Applications
(Model XLSOLARCONTU)
• A minimum of two 10W solar panels in series
(Model SOLPNL10W12V)
• A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SOLPNL10W12V).
Configuration of three sets of two 10W paralleled panels put in series.
• Two 33AH Batteries (Model A12330SGLPK)
• Solar Battery Harness (Model K94-37236)
• Battery Tray (Model K10-36183)
Disconnect the expansion board if it is not in use to improve performance. We recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to minimize power
draw, refer to accessory page. NOTE: Input solar power is 24 Vdc at 60 watts maximum.
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.
