The 24VAC power supply shown in Figure 2-6 is not to be used for peripheral connections
because the 24VAC terminals are directly connected to the solar panel inputs. Any peripherals
attached to the 24VAC terminals could be severely damaged due to varying voltage levels.
To connect any peripheral devices to a solar operator, use the 24VDC or 12VDC terminals. Because a solar
operator gets its energy from the sun and stores the energy produced by the solar panels in batteries that are
constantly discharging, it is important to use peripheral devices that draw and consume as little power as
possible.

Two power supplies are available for peripheral
connections:
24VDC and 12VDC
NOTE: The 24VDC power supply has four terminals
that can be used in any combination to draw the
available 1A maximum. The 12VDC has two terminals.
Example of Peripheral Amp Draw
0.015A = 3 HY-5A vehicle detectors
0.029A = 1 multi-code radio receiver
0.000A = 4 photo eyes (see NOTE).
0.044A = Total amps needed for site design purposes
Photo EYE COM
terminal
Photo eye 24VDC
NOTE: Photo eyes
connected to these terminals
receive power when the motor engages
which means the draw on the battery is
minimal.
