SECTION 2 - SOLAR INPUT POWER TO OPERATOR
Before connecting the solar panel wire to the operator, make sure that the solar panel is blocked from the sunlight.
The solar panel is “HOT” (discharging power) whenever the sun is shinning on it. It will shock you if you attempt to touch
the wires while it is in the sunlight!
Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a licensed
electrical contractor perform this work.
Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior
to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local
code requirements.
THIS GATE OPERATOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED!!
2.1 Solar Power Connections
Connect
ONLY
24 VDC
power. DoorKing Solar Power Kit P/N XXXX-XXX is recommended. Third party
24 VDC batteries and
solar panel
can be used if desired.
The solar panel will perform
MOST
efficient when installed as close as possible to the operator (Within a couple of feet). Keep in
mind, the efficiency of the solar panel will diminish the farther away the panel is installed from the operator.
•
DO NOT
install a heater kit when using solar power.
•
Cover solar panel
BEFORE
connecting
wire to power terminal.
•
Route incoming solar power wire
through the solar panel conduit and run
wire to the
operator’s power terminal
.
•
Be sure wiring is installed in
accordance with local codes. Be sure to
color code all wiring.
•
It is recommended that a surge
suppressor (P/N 1878-010) be installed
on the 24V solar power line to help
protect the operator and circuit board
from surges and power fluctuations.
•
Dual gate operators
CANNOT
be used.
DO NOT
power up the operator until
“
Section 2.2”
is complete (see next page).
Damage could occur to the gate operator.
SW 2, switch 6
