AutoGate
is
introducing
the
“GENESIS”
control
board.
Genesis
is
a
24
Volt
DC
board
capable
of
controlling
mo-
tors
rated
up
to
20
Amps.
The
board
has
a
4
line,
20
characters
per
line
display
for
informa on
and
program-
ming.
The
Genesis
board
operates
on
DC
power.
Our
standard
system
will
be
supplied
with
a
24
to
28-volt
DC
/
18.8-
amp
power
supply
and
the
Power
Supply
se ng
will
be
“NORMAL”.
This
will
power
all
func ons
of
the
gate.
There
is
an
internal
ba ery
charger/maintainer
circuit
on
the
Genesis
board.
The
system
will
require
two
(2)
12-volt
ba eries
wired
in
series
or
a
single
24-volt
ba ery
connected
to
the
ba ery
terminals
for
back-up
capabili es
(Highly
Recommended).
Ba eries
need
to
be
the
same
physical
size,
and
the
same
capacity
ra ng.
The
power
supply
has
(2)
voltage
input
se ngs
which
is
controlled
by
a
switch
on
the
side
of
the
case.
The
se ngs
are
115
and
230.
The
115-volt
se ng
is
for
90
–
132
volts
AC
at
10
Amps.
The
230-volt
se ng
is
for
180-264-volt
AC
at
6
Amps.
There
are
2
more
power
input
se ngs
on
the
Genesis
board.
Both
se ngs
will
require
(2)
12-volt
ba eries
or
(1)
24-volt
ba ery
for
gate
opera on.
One
is
the
SOLAR
se ng.
When
set
for
SOLAR,
any
solar
array
that
is
designed
for
24-volt
charging
can
be
directly
connected
to
the
Genesis
board
in
place
of
the
pow-
er
supply.
The
board
will
s ll
control
the
gate
as
normal,
but
the
motor
will
run
from
the
ba ery/ba eries.
The
on-board
charging
system
will
now
charge
the
ba eries
from
the
solar
panels
whenever
there
is
enough
light
to
ac vate
the
panels.
NOTE:
(2)
12-volt
solar
panels
wired
in
series,
or
(1)
24-volt
panel,
(2
24-volt
panels
wired
in
parallel
to
maximize
output
current),
will
produce
be-
tween
31
VDC
and
45
VDC.
When
the
voltage
falls
below
31
volts,
the
circuit
will
stop
charging
and
prevent
current
from
back
feeding
to
the
panels.
Make
sure
that
the
proper
se ng
is
chosen.
If
using
the
normal
power
supply
and
the
board
is
set
for
“SOLAR”,
the
ba eries
will
never
get
charged
because
the
power
supply
is
set
to
26.5
VDC,
and
therefore
will
never
reach
the
lev-
el
required
for
charging
per
the
“SOLAR”
program.
The
other
non-standard
se ng
is
called
“CHARGE”.
This
will
mostly
be
used
for
backwards
compa bility
on
systems
that
currently
use
a
transformer
when
upgrading
to
the
Genesis.
Since
the
Genesis
board
only
uses
DC
voltage,
the
AC
transformer
will
not
work.
By
using
a
36-volt
4-amp
power
supply,
the
“CHARGE”
se ng
will
work
similar
to
the
“SOLAR”
se ng.
The
power
supply
will
output
36
volts
and
charge
the
ba eries
and
the
ba eries
will
run
the
gate.
But
unlike
solar
panels,
because
the
power
supply
will
always
be
on,
the
charging
circuit
will
always
work.
This
setup
is
easy
to
convert
on
our
older
systems
using
the
transformer
as
a
power
source.
