Mounting the Control Box:
Remove the cover of the control box and use 4 deck screws (not provided) to install the control box. Ensure the
control box is installed in a secure surface and at least 100 cm (40 inches) above the ground to protect it from rain,
snow, etc. which may cause damage to the control box.
Connecting the Power Supply:
The gate opener is powered by 24VDC batteries. 2 x 12v 7Ah batteries are supplied with the gate opener.
For larger or more frequently opened gates, larger batteries may be required. The following diagram will
show you how to connect 2 PCS batteries in series.
The charging type could be either AC/DC transformer or solar panel. AC and DC power can be used to charge the
battery at the same time. Please note the wire connection of them is very important. Incorrect wire connection
may damage the control board.
The battery used should be waterproof or you should place them in a waterproof case.
Please ensure other wire connections are completed before connecting the power supply.
Please refer to the illustration “wire connection of the control board” to connect the battery and AC/DC
transformer to the control board. The
“24V+”
of the battery should be wired to the
BAT+ (#11)
terminal,
“24V-”
should be wired to
“BAT-” (#12)
terminal.
The wire (2*0.75mm2, 2 meters long)
for connecting the battery
has been provided and connected to the control board in factory.
AC transformer is supplied wired to the
“DC24V” (#13, #14)
terminals of the control board.
The length of the wire of the transformer is 1.5m(5’). So if the distance between the outlet and the control box is
longer than that, you should use an extended wire to connect the transformer to the control board. The wire size
should be at least 16AWG.
