WIRING
SOLAR PANELS ARE NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.
Solar Application requirements:
• Large Metal Control Box (XLM)
• A minimum of two 10W solar panels (Model SOLPNL10W12V) in series
• A maximum of six 10W solar panels (Model SOLPNL10W12V).
Configuration of three sets of two 10W paralleled panels put in series.
• Two 33AH Batteries (Model A12330SGLPK)
• Solar Battery Harness (Model LA500SLRHARN)
• Battery Tray (Model K10-36183)
We recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to minimize power draw,
refer to accessory page. Disconnect the expansion board for solar applications.
NOTE: Input solar power is 24 Vdc at 60 watts maximum.
The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and
shading for the entire day. The gate operator is not supported in northern
climates where temperatures reach below -4˚F. This is due to cold weather and
a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate
may vary from solar chart for areas that reach below 32˚F. Solar panels should
be cleaned on a regular basis for best performance to ensure proper operation.
