APPLICATIONS
The Model 3500 Swing Gate Operator is approved for Vehicular Class I & II usage
under UL 325 Guidelines, and is designed to handle swing gates up to 20 feet in
length and 800 pounds each. A professional fence or gate dealer is recommended
to assure proper installation. The Model 3500 operator is 12 Volt DC (Direct
Current) powered. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
• Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
• Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of
power outages.
• The battery may be recharged with a battery charger or by solar energy
(eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
If a battery charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is not readily available, a
licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators
only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge
capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations.
Charging Methods for Average Daily Usage
Note: Double the amount of solar panels for dual gate operators.
