NOTE

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE SOLAR PANEL IT MUST BE LOCATED IN AN OPEN AREA THAT

GETS DIRECT FULL SUN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS PER DAY.

TIPS FOR SOLAR INSTALLATIONS:

Solar panels should be mounted so that foliage growth such as tree leaves, tree branches, or weeds do not cover

the solar panel in a shadow at any point during the day, regardless of the time of year.

Solar panels should be cleaned periodically to remove any snow, dirt, grime, mold, or mildew that may

accumulate and deteriorate the performance.

If this solar panel will be used with a GHOST CONTROLS

Gate Opener System, the power

LED indicator (shown) on the GHOST CONTROLS

System Control Panel will help you align

the panel for optimal charging performance. The faster the power status light blinks or the light

stays solid the better the charge. A blinking light means too much shade or panel needs to be

rotated to gain better charging performance. A solid light is best.

Place the panel facing DUE SOUTH in the path of the sun. Many smartphones have a magnetic

compass to aid you.

Mount the panel using the curved pipe provided to maintain the proper angle to the sun.

INSTALLING YOUR SOLAR PANEL:

STEP 1: ATTACHING PANEL TO PIPE

Position the curved pipe (D) and place two pipe

clamps (C) over the curved pipe. Thread the

4 M8 bolts (F) through the top and bottom

channels of the solar panel as pictured. Secure

the M8 bolts (F) with the M8 nuts (E).

STEP 2: SECURING PANEL TO POST Determine the installation site for the solar panel. Secure the solar panel assembly to a wooden post or fence using two pipe clamps (C) and four lag bolts (B) as shown in the illustration to the right. If your fence post is metal, you will need alternative hardware not provided, (e.g., U-clamps or sheet metal screws). *If the solar panel must be placed more than 10 ft. from the control box in order to receive direct sunlight, you can use up to 100 ft.
