CONNECT BATTERIES

The batteries are charged in the circuit by using the transformer (provided) or an

optional solar panel. Batteries will degrade over time depending on temperature and

usage. For best performance, the batteries should be replaced every 3 years.

Batteries do not perform well in extremely cold temperatures. The operator comes

with one 7AH battery. A second 7AH (29-NP712) battery may be added or one

33AH (A12330SGLPK) may be used in place of the 7AH batteries.

NOTE:

There may

not be sufficient mounting space for the 33AH battery if a heater is installed.

Always

disconnect the batteries BEFORE servicing the operator.

NOTE:

Setting the battery on concrete will not have a negative affect on the

charging or battery life.

If the installation is a dual gate, proceed to next page.

Locate the battery plug.

Connect the battery plug to either connector on the control board.

SOLAR PANEL (NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.)

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. For solar

applications, a minimum of 20W solar panels and two 7AH batteries are

recommended. For Zone 3 cold weather sites, one 33AH battery is recommended.

We recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to minimize power draw,

refer to accessory page.
