APPLICATIONS
The Apollo Model 1550ETL/1650ETL Swing Gate Operator is approved for Vehicu- lar Class I & II usage under UL 325 Guidelines, and is designed to handle swing gates up to 16 feet in length and 600 pounds each. A professional fence or gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation. Apollo Gate Operators are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the proper equipment for particular applications. Apollo Gate Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered. A 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour minimum) with connecting posts located on the top is recommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
•Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
•Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of power outages.
•The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy (eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is not readily available, a licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations.
