SOLAR PANEL(S)
INSTALL THE SOLAR PANEL
1.
Position solar bracket on mounting surface. Mark and drill holes.
2.
Insert two bolts into the track located on the back of the solar
panel(s).
3. Slide bolts in track away from bolt hole and align both bolts.
4.
Secure solar panel(s) to solar bracket using two washered nuts.
5.
Secure solar panel(s) assembly to mounting surface using appropriate
hardware.
WIRE THE SOLAR PANELS
1.
Locate the J15 plug on the control board and unplug it from the
control board (it will not be used).
2. Install the new 33AH battery as shown.
3.
Route the battery wires (the longer set of wires) from the J15 plug
(new wire harness) through the lower, right, rear knockout (KO) in the
electrical box. Use the included adhesive wire clamps to route the
wires up the right side of the operator frame. Connect the red wire to
the positive (+) terminal of the battery. Connect the black wire to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
4.
Connect the shorter red wire (+) from the J15 plug (new wire
harness) labeled DC Power to the red wire on the solar panel. Connect
the shorter black (-) wire from the J15 plug (new wire harness)
labeled DC Power to the black wire on the solar panel.
5.
Plug the J15 plug (new wire harness) into the J15 input on the control
board.
NOTE:
You may see a small spark when plugging the J15 plug
into the board.
If necessary, connect additional 12V solar panels in parallel to achieve the
desired wattage (30W maximum).
Proceed to the Dual Gate section (if applicable) or proceed to the
Adjustment section.
