Connection of the Power Supply
WARNING: NEVER connect the gate opener to the power outlet before all the installations
have been done.
NOTE:
1. If batteries as are chosen as the power source, Marine or Automotive Type Battery is required. The
batteries should be waterproof type, or be placed in water proof circumstance.
2. 2 PCS 12VDC batteries can be connected in series to function as 24VDC. The following diagram
shows on how to connect 2 PCS batteries in series.
3. Please note that the wire connection of the power supply system is very important. Incorrect wire
connection will damage the control board.
Power Mode 1. Only use the AC electricity as the power
source
The power supply cord should be at least 3×0.75mm
2
(3C×18AWG). Connect the live
wire, neutral wire and earth wire to the “L”, “N” and “PE” terminals respectively.
NOTE: The power supply cord is not included in the package.
Power Mode 2. By AC electricity and back-up batteries, only
use the AC electricity to charge the
batteries
If the AC electricity failure happens rarely (less than
8 hours per day), then you can use minimum 5Ah
2*12VDC batteries as back-up power source in case
of AC power failure. In this situation, you can
connect the AC electricity following the “Power
Mode 1” and the batteries to the BAT terminal of the
control board directly as the below wiring diagram.
Power Mode 3. Only use the batteries as the power source, only use the
solar panel to charge the batteries
If the AC electricity is not available, then you can choose the batteries as the power source and use the solar
panel to charge the batteries. The capacity of the batteries should be at least 12Ah and the power of the
solar panel should be at least 30W in this situation. The gate opener can run for 10 cycles per day without
connecting any other accessories except pushbutton & warning light if the local average sunshine time is
more than 6 hours per day. The power of the solar panel and the capacity of the batteries should be
enlarged if the local average sunshine time is less than 6 hours per day or using one of the accessories
(photocell, external receiver, exit wand and keypad). Please provide us with more details of the local
sunshine condition and accessories needs which we can calculate the configuration of the solar panel and
