Posts, Columns and Walls It is recommended to mount the post bracket on a steel post, which is at least 3” wide. If a wood post is used, it should be pressure treated, plumb and square, and at least 6” wide. It is recommended to re-tighten your bolts occasionally because wood tends to shrink and expand.

POWER Note: In case of a power failure, the operators may be opened and closed manually by unlocking and lifting the release lever on top of the operator arm. Keep the button under the lever lubricated with a silicone spray lubricant.
SOLAR POWER Alternatively, this system can be powered by batteries charged with a solar panel via a charge controller. Two 12Vdc batteries must be wired IN SERIES to provide 24Vdc. (See wiring diagram.) Important: Connect the charge controller to the batteries FIRST, and then connect the solar panel to the charge controller.
Battery backup Battery backup is not required. In the event of a power failure there is a manual release lever on the top of each operator arm which allows the gates to be opened manually. Turn the key and lift the lever to move the gate manually. Battery backup may be added by installing two 12v 7ah batteries, wired in series to produce 24Vdc.
