5.2. Solar Power Supply
5.2.1. D5-Evo
DOMESTIC
A solar panel can be used to
charge the battery instead of the
conventional charging circuit. A
20 Watt panel will provide enough
power for 20 operations (less if 12V
DC security lights are tted) of
an average gate.
5.1. Battery saver
In the event of a Battery Low
shutdown, only the motor will stop
drawing current – the controller,
infrared beams and any other
peripheral device will continue to
draw power and atten the battery,
however, at a much slower rate.
An optional low cut-out switch
(product code CP107
1
) totally
disconnects the battery and protects
it from being fully discharged and
potentially damaged.
Contact your gate automation specialist or Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd for further
details.
1. Currently only available for the D5-Evo not the D10/D10 Turbo
You will need to t a deep-cycle low-maintenance battery (minimum 35Ah) in order to
provide sucient back-up capacity during days of poor weather.
The charger supplied with the standard D5-Evo DOMESTIC system must also be replaced
with a high eciency solar regulator.
These are typical values for Southern Africa. Contact Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd or your
gate automation specialist for details on what solar panel to select in your area.
