APPLICATIONS
The
Apollo
Model 7100ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate
up to 23 feet in total length (accomodates a 20 foot drive). A professional fence or
gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation.
Apollo Gate Operators
are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the
fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the proper
equipment for particular applications.
Apollo Gate Operators
are 12 Volt DC
(
Direct Current
) powered. A 12 Volt marine type battery is recommended. There are
several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
•
Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
•
Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of
power outages.
•
The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy
(eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is not readily available, a
licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators
only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage.
Please note that the charge
capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations.
