STEP 6
Installation of Charging Source
SOLAR PANEL
Locate and mount the solar panel bracket so that the panel faces southwest and maintains the preformed 45-
degree angle. The standard cable is 10' in length and must feed in through the bottom of the control box. Pay
attention to the distance when determining you’re mounting location. Although the cable can be extended with
watertight connectors, charging power is diminished. Sometimes it is necessary to locate the panel farther away
to achieve optimum sunlight, but consider that optimum sunlight might not mean optimum charging if the
distance is to great. Use #16 gauge wire or larger and keep length as short as possible.

Assemble panel(s) to bracket
with supplied hardware.

s
outhwest.
NOTE: Avoid shaded areas if possible. Panels should face southwest for optimum
charging. See explanation above for details.
AC CHARGER
Locate and install the AC battery charger inside the control box. The charger requires a receptacle for 110-volt
AC supply; recommended location is inside the control box. A licensed electrician per local building codes
should
install
the
receptacle.
Note:
USAutomatic recommends an AC surge protector on all 110-volt installations.
Especially
in lightning prone areas.
STEP 7 Installing Safety Placards
Mount safety placards on gate. Two signs are provided. Place one sign on each side of the gate where it will be
highly visible to anyone on either side of the gate.
STEP 8 Installing Secondary Entrapment Siren
The secondary entrapment siren connects to the control board (see page 33). This siren is very loud and will be
activated anytime the current sense circuit stops the gate twice prior to reaching a fully open or close limit. The
reset button on the control board (see page 13) must be pushed to turn off the siren, and reset the control board.
