SOLAR TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
The operator alarm will beep three times with a command and the BATT LOW LED will be on when the solar panel is not charging the battery.
SOLUTIONS
• Check that the correct number of solar panels are connected to the operator. 12V operators require one 10W 12V panel up to a maximum of three
10W 12V panels. 24V operators require two 10W 12V panels up to a maximum of six 10W 12V panels.
• Check that the correct batteries are used for the application.
• Check that the whole panel(s) is facing south within 150 feet of the operator and receiving full sunlight. Make sure the solar panels are not in the
shade.
• Check that the accessories are not drawing too much current. Use LiftMaster low current draw accessories.
• Check that the number of gate cycles does not exceed the cycle ratings for the operator and application.
• Check that the number of gates cycles corresponds with the solar zones (see below). Refer to your gate operator manual for specific gate cycles.
