NOTE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE SOLAR PANEL IT
MUST BE
LOCATED IN AN OPEN AREA THAT
GETS DIRECT FULL SUN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS PER DAY.
TIPS FOR SOLAR INSTALLATIONS:
Solar panels should be mounted so that foliage growth such as tree leaves, tree branches, or weeds do not cover
the solar panel in a shadow at any point during the day, regardless of the time of year.
Solar panels should be cleaned periodically to remove any snow, dirt, grime, mold, or mildew that may
accumulate and deteriorate the performance.
If this solar panel will be used with a GHOST CONTROLS
®
Gate Opener System, the power
LED indicator (shown) on the GHOST CONTROLS
®
System Control Panel will help you align
the panel for optimal charging performance. The faster the power status light blinks or the light
stays solid the better the charge. A blinking light means too much shade or panel needs to be
rotated to gain better charging performance. A solid light is best.
Place the panel facing
DUE SOUTH in the path of the sun. Many smartphones have a magnetic
compass to aid you.
Mount the panel using the curved pipe provided to maintain the proper angle to the sun.
INSTALLING YOUR SOLAR PANEL:
STEP 1: ATTACHING PANEL TO PIPE
Position the curved pipe (D) and place two pipe
clamps (C) over the curved pipe. Thread the
4 M8 bolts (F) through the top and bottom
channels of the solar panel as pictured. Secure
the M8 bolts (F) with the M8 nuts (E).
