Use the table and map to determine
the number of operational cycles* per
day to expect in your area, using 5 to
30 Watts of charging power. Figures
are shown for winter (minimum
sunlight) and do not account for the
use of any accessory items.
Accessories will draw additional
power from the battery; the more
accessories you connect, the more
power your system will require. If
you have a gate opener that will
accommodate an additional battery
(see gate opener Installation Manual
for specifications), we recommend
that you purchase an extra 12V, 7
amp hour battery [RB500].
*
An operational cycle is one full
opening and closing of the gate.
Number of openings per day will
depend on the length, weight,
hardware and environmental
conditions.
