Battery:
Your system is supplied with a 12V 7AH Lead Acid Maintenance
Free Battery and a Z-Shape steel mounting bracket with screw. With the
battery terminals at the bottom facing the center, position battery in the right
bottom of your control board. There are 2 plastic locating pegs molded into the
control board box. You MUST mount battery upside down so as the steel
mounting bracket, when installed does not contact between the battery power
terminals.
230vac-18vac Transformer:
Transformer can be relocated to around 100m
from control box using a transformer kit (in a protective electrical box with
mains lead and plug) or positioned inside the control box if mains power is
available at the gate.
In either option you
MUST
install transformer via a RCD
to avoid injury from shock as per local government electrical requirements.
Always switch off mains power when any works is being carried out on or
around gate installation. We recommend a minimum 1.5mm x 2 core direct
burial garden lighting cable up to 50m and a larger 2.5 to 4 mm cable is
commonly used to around 100m. Connect mains power supply to the 2 x
orange wires (230Vac) at the transformer. Connect 2 x white wires (16Vac) to
control board block 1 (AC input). As the input is AC, the polarity of the cables
need not be observed. Disregard the purple and black wires (if fitted) as these
are for our 24VAC sliding gate control board D2 only. Protect the wire ends so
as not to make contact with the transformer.

Solar Power:
The system can be solar powered via an optional solar systems
voltage regulator connected directly to the battery. The 12Vdc 7Ah (amp-hour)
battery supplied may not be suitable for heavy gates or frequent use. Add
another 7Ah battery (in Parallel) giving a total of 14Ah. You can install this in
the lid of the control box using the locating pegs.
