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 11 and 12 below.
Note: For 100% Solar requirements please contact Richmond.
