SOLAR PANEL(S)
NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.
Solar Application requirements:
• A minimum of two 10W solar panels in series (Model SP10W12V).
• A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SP10W12V).
• Solar Harness Kit (Model K94-37236).
• A heater cannot be used with a solar application.
Disconnect the expansion board if it is not in use to improve
performance. We recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to
minimize power draw, refer to accessory page. NOTE: Input solar power
is 24 Vdc at 60 watts maximum.
The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions
and shading for the entire day. The gate operator is not supported in
northern climates where temperatures reach below -4˚F (-20˚C). This is
due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during
the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart for areas that
reach below 32˚F (0˚C). Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis
for best performance to ensure proper operation.

SOLAR ZONES
ZONE 1 (6 Hours of Sunlight/Day): Ideal for solar
application
ZONE 2 (4 Hours of Sunlight/Day): Recommended
for solar application
ZONE 3 (2 Hours of Sunlight/Day): Success of
solar application will depend on type of gate
operator and location of the solar panel
