Connection of the Power Supply
A 24VDC AC-DC power supply is included in the kit. You can plug it to the AC socket to use it power
up the gate opener directly if the AC electricity is accessible. You can also connect a 24VDC back-up
battery (2*12VDC, connected in series to become 24VDC) to the power supply if the AC electricity is not
stable. In this situation, 5AH battery is enough.
You can also use the batteries as the main power source without the AC electricity. In this situation,
you must purchase spare solar panel (at least 20W) to charge the batteries. The solar panel and the
batteries can be connected to the UPS-01 power supply easily. And then you can connect the output of
the power supply to the gate opener to power up the gate opener system. Marine or Automotive Type
Battery with capacity greater than 12 AH is required (NOT INCLUDED). 2 PCS 12VDC batteries can be
connected in series to become 24VDC to power up the gate opener. The following diagram will show
you how to connect 2 PCS batteries in series. Please note the wire connection of them is very important.
Incorrect wire connection will damage the control board. The batteries should be waterproof type or
you should place them in water proof housing.
WARNING: NEVER connect the gate opener to the power outlet before all the installations have
been done.
Power Mode 1. Only use the AC electricity as the power source
There are 2 male terminals with the
LOAD
output wires of the UPS-01 power supply and 2 femal
e terminals with the power input wires of the control box which have been connected to the
+BA
T-
terminals of the control board. Just plug them together to complete the wire connection. Finally
you can plug the power cord to the socket to power on the system. You can leave the
SOLAR a
nd BAT wires
of the UPS-01
Not Connected
in this situation.
Power Mode 2. By AC electricity and back-up batteries, only use the AC
electricity to charge the batteries
If the AC electricity failure happens rarely (less than 8 hours per day), then you can use minimum 5AH 2*12VDC
batteries as back-up power source in case of AC power failure. In this situation, you can connect the UPS-01 to
