m Connect the other end of the
burial cable from the operator to the float
charger. Be sure to match the positive
and negative terminals of the charger to
the positive and negative terminals of
the battery. Once the connections are
made, plug the charger into a 115 Volt
outlet. If possible, it is desirable to locate
the charger out of the weather. Let the
charger charge the battery for a couple
of hours before putting into operation.
m If the gate operator is solar
powered, no power will need to be run
into the machine. The solar panel is set
up to be attached to the gate operator
and extension pipes are provided to
elevate the panel up above the operator.
While assembling the pipes and attach-
ing the panel, run the wires from the
panel through the pipes. The ends of the
wires are provided with connectors
which can simply be plugged in. Turn the
panel so that it will get maximum sun-
light during the day. If necessary the
panel may be mounted away from the
gate operator to get it out of the shade
and into more consistent sunlight.
m Similarly to the battery back-up,
the solar operator comes with the battery
wires disconnected. For both batteries,
connect the black wires to the negative
terminals and the red wires to the
positive terminals. The wires have been
labeled to make these connections
easier to do.
