19. Additional Features

Battery saver

In the event of a battery-low
shutdown, only the motor will stop
drawing current – the controller,
infrared beams and any other
peripheral devices will continue to
flatten the battery; however, at a
much slower rate.
An optional low cut-out switch
(product code CP107) totally
disconnects the battery and protects
it from being fully discharged and
potentially damaged.
Consult your gate automation
specialist for further details.

Solar power supply

A solar panel can be used to
charge the battery instead of the
conventional charging circuit.
A 20W panel will provide enough
power for 20 daily operations of an
average gate (less if 12V DC security
lights are fitted).
You will need to fit a deep-cycle
low-maintenance battery (minimum
35Ah) in order to provide sufficient
backup capacity during days of poor
weather.
These are typical values for
Southern Africa. Contact your gate
automation specialist for details on
what solar panel to select in your
area.
Refer to Figure 66 and 67 on pages 49 and 50 for instructions on how to connect a solar
panel to your D2 Turbo/D2 Turbo Low-Voltage operator.
The mains fail buzzer can be disabled by selecting the Solar Profile option
(controllers manufactured after August 2014 only). Refer to 'Customising the
Features and Functions' on page 65 for details.
