SOLAR PANELS

NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.

Solar Application requirements:

•   A minimum of one 10W solar panel (Model SOLPNL10W12V).

•   A maximum of three 10W solar panels in parallel (Model SOLPNL10W12V).

•  Battery Harness (Model K94-37236)

•   One 7AH battery or one 33AH battery

•   A heater cannot be used with a solar application.

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 12 Vdc at 30 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.
