8.
Location and mounting point of control box and battery box. Arm cable length determines how far away from operator arm
that you can mount the control box.
THE ARM CABLE CANNOT BE SPLICED OR EXTENDED. PLEASE CALL
TECHNICAL SUPPORT (850-898-1411 M-F 8AM-5:00PM EASTERN TIME) IF YOU NEED TO EXTEND THE
LENGTH OF THE OPERATOR ARM CABLE(S).
9.
Power source to charge the battery (Solar Power vs. AC Power via transformer)
A.
Never use Solar Panels
AND an AC transformer on a gate system at the same time or you will damage the
main control board and void any warranty.
B.
The AC transformer is designed for indoor use and must be protected in a weather resistant box (that meets
code in your area) if it will be mounted outside.
10
. If choosing to use an AC transformer for the battery recharging power source, you should consider the distance from an
outlet to your battery box.
A.
No more than 1000 feet of low voltage wire may be used between the AC transformer and the gate
operator system due to electrical losses. If your application exceeds 1000 feet in distance, you must
use Solar Panels for your power source to recharge the batteries.
B.
WIRE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. We offer and recommend 16 gauge
STRANDED, 2-CONDUCTOR low voltage wire.
C.
The transformer should be on a circuit that is protected by a GFCI plug or breaker.

B.
WIRE WILL NEED TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. We offer and recommend 16 gauge
