SmartSolar™
5
Rugged 100% solid state circuitry, with a low component count, for robust operation and reliability
Compatible with most DC powered Automatic Technology openers
The only modifi cation for use is removal of the opener’s mains transformer
The specially designed charger module needs only a single solar panel to charge dual 12Vd.c. batteries
As little as four hours of sunlight provides enough charge for normal residential operation
The battery holds enough charge for night time operation, and up to three days of backup power
Fully weather-sealed components
Accessories such as P.E. Beams can be integrated with the opener for improved safety or convenience
The charger module has an integrated diode to prevent reverse current
The charger module will not overcharge the batteries, and, to extend the life of batteries, the unit will shut
down if the batteries’ voltage drops below 19V
Batteries are charged with a maximum of one ampere to prevent overheating
The SmartSolar™ comes with sealed, non-spill lead acid batteries
A limiting system only allows a “trickle” voltage to be fed to the batteries when at full charge
