Features
Remote Control - Open/Close
The Remote Control enables you to remotely open/close the gate from your car, truck, tractor, house etc. When pressed, will open the gate if closed or partially closed, and close the gate if fully open.
Auto Close/Open
The Auto Close /Open feature is selected from an External switch under the control box. In the "AUTO" position the gate will automatically close and lock after the gate timer times out. In the "OPEN"position the gate will remain open until the "AUTO/OPEN" switch is switched back to "AUTO", this allows you to open the gate for special occassions or open the gate in the morning and close in the evening etc.
Solar Panel
Solar panel provide year round power to maintain a full charge in 2 x 12 volt batteries. A solar regulator regulates the battery charge rate to prevent overcharging which would shorten the life of the battery considerably.
Timer
The gate close timer is adjustable from a few seconds to approximately 2 minutes. The timer automatically closes and locks the gate after it has timed out.
Positive Gate Lock
The positive gate lock provides a strong secure way of locking the gate so that it cannot be opened without using one of the electrical/electronic controls such as a remote control, or various visitor buttons.
Heavy Duty 24 volt DC Drive Unit
The drive unit is a heavy duty, metal geared unit, powered by a 24 volt DC motor to provide additional power and reliability The metal gears and 24 volt DC motor will provide you with exceptional gate opening power and many years of trouble free service. The drive has a very fast opening time - approx 12-13 secs.
Emergency Gate Release
In an emergency the gate can be disabled and opened by using a key to unlock the drive unit, then disengage the motor from the drive gears. This may be useful for people such as the CFA who require access to your property in times of an emergency.
Obstruction Detection
Should the gate open or close with an obstacle in the way the obstruction detection will stop the gate so that the obstacle can be removed. When the gate is clear again you only need to press the gate open button again to continue opening the gate.
Double Gates
Two gate systems can be installed that require only the one control box and solar panel with two heavy duty drive units - one for each gate. To install a two gate system it will require a cable to be run under the driveway from the control box to the opposite gate drive unit.
240 Volt System
A 240 volt system can also be installed that requires 240 volt to be wired to the gate and eliminates the need for a solar panel. This system also utilises 2 x 12 volt batteries which maintains power for the gate should there be a power blackout.
Alternately, a low voltage (12 volt DC) power source connected to 240 volt power in a remote building can be connected back to the gate controller.
Solar Power Regulator
A solar regulator is standard on all solar kits to protect batteries from overcharging. A solar regulator will extend the life of the batteries by several years.
Batteries
Two batteries are provided for solar and 240 volt systems that on fully charged batteries will give 500- 600 gate openings on a single gate, without any solar activity.
