USING A SOLAR POWERED OPERATOR
Using a Solar Powered Operator
Solar panels are NOT included in
the purchase of the Kinetic DCS 15
[Kinetic 1S] and 10F [Kinetic 2S]
operators. Also, adapting a standard
Kinetic DC operator to a solar
application is not recommended.
For ease of installation and proper
functionality, be sure to order a
solar model, Kinetic DCS, for a solar-
powered site.
1. Use 14-gauge wire or larger to connect the
solar panel(s) within 100ft of the operator.
Check NEC and local regulations if other
distances apply.
2. Use one 24VDC solar panel or two 12VDC
solar panels in series with a total capacity of
at least 20W. Mount them according to the
manufacturer’s installation instructions.
3. Make sure both DC power switches on the
Kinetic control box are in the OFF position, and
then remove the two Phillips-head screws that
secure the 24VDC cover to the junction box.
4. Wire nut or crimp bond the solar panel wires
to the black and red input wires. See
“Figure
18. Solar Panels and Wiring Connections” on
page 75 .
5. Wire nut or crimp bond the equipment ground
wire to the green ground wire in the junction
box.
6. Slide the plastic cover off the control box and
attach the red spade connector to the battery
terminal on the upper DC power switch. See
“Figure 19. Kinetic DCS Control Box” on page
75 .
7. Turn both DC power switches ON and program
the SmartDC Controller. See “Programming
the Initial Setup Menu” on page 61 .
Wallace Perimeter Security offers a solar version
of the Kinetic operator in 1ft/s or 2ft/s models.
The solar models have different internal wiring
and include software programmed for solar use.
The SmartDC Controller has a built-in charger
which allows a 24V solar panel (or two 12V panels)
a direct connection to the Kinetic operator with no
additional electronic devices required.
To plan a solar-powered site, read through this
entire section. Keep in mind that the solar
Kinetic DCS operator does not have the following
components:
• Transformer
• AC power supply board
• AC service outlet
• Various wiring adaptations that are standard
in a Kinetic DC operator
