Battery/Solar Connection:
Battery backup can be useful in areas where mains power may be intermittent. Depending on the size and setup of
your gate, batteries may be able to operate the gate up to ten times without being recharged.
Solar power is useful in areas where mains power is not readily available. The correct solar power and battery will
depend on the size and setup of your gate, position of the panels and geographical area. Under normal conditions
we recommend 2 x 12V 12Ah batteries, and 1 24V 30W solar panel.
Note that performance may vary according the amount of sunlight per day, and condition of the batteries.
To install battery backup and/or solar power, refer to the Figures 34 and 35 below.
Note: For 100% solar requirements please contact Richmond
