greater than 12 Ah is required. The batteries should be waterproof type, or be placed in water proof
circumstance.
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. Charging mode for the battery could be by the
adapter, by the solar panel, or both of them at the same time.
Please note that the wire connection of the power supply system is very important. Incorrect wire
connection will damage the control board.
WARNING: NEVER connect the gate opener to the power outlet before all the installations have
been done.
1. Use the batteries as the power source and only use the adapter to charge
the batteries
The ―24V+‖ of the battery should be wired to the BAT+ (#11) terminal, ―24V-‖ should be wired to ―BAT-‖ (#12)
terminal. The wire [ 2*0.75mm2 (2C*18AWG), 1 meter (3.3 feet) long ] for connecting the battery has been
provided and connected to the control board in factory. The adapter should be wired to the ―ADAPTER‖
(#13, #14) terminals of the control board, no matter the polarity. The length of the wire of the adapter is 1.2m (4’).
So if the distance between the outlet and the control box is longer than that, you should use an extended wire to
connect the adapter to the control board. The wire size should be at least 1.3mm
2
(16AWG). If the distance is
more than 100m (300’), the wire size should be at least 2mm
2
(14AWG). The maximum distance from the
adapter to the control box is 300m (1000’).
