1. Determine Charging Option for Battery: Transformer OR Solar
NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME.
It will damage the control board.
IMPORTANT:
 • TheMM-LPS1312voltbattery
[FM150] must be charged by either connecting the transformer
(included) or solar panel kit
[FM123] to the control board.

chart below.
 •Two12voltbatteries
[FM150] are required for the MM-LPS13 to run on solar power.
(see accessories on page 24)
The table and map
illustrate the maximum
number of gate cycles
to expect per day in a
particular area when
using from 10 to 20 Watts
of solar charging power.
The gures shown are
for winter (minimum
sunlight).
Accessories connected to your system
will draw additional power from
the battery.
NOTE: A minimum of 10 Watts, maximum
of 20 Watts charging power is needed to
charge the two batteries.
