Before You Begin...
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 4000XLS’ 12 volt battery must be charged by either connecting the transformer (included) or solar panel kit 
[FM123] to the control board.
•The transformer is designed for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover/housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used.
•If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an AC power source, you will need to use at least 10 watts
solar charging power to charge the battery [FM123]. Refer to the Solar Panel and Gate Activity chart below.
•All low voltage wire used with the GTO Gate Operator must be 16 gauge dual conductor, stranded, direct burial wire 
[RB509]. Do not run more than 1000 ft. of wire.
Solar Panel and Gate Activity Chart
The table and map illustrate the maximum number of gate cycles to expect per day in a particular area when using from 10 to 30 watts of solar charging power. The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight).
Accessories connected to your system will draw additional power from the battery.
NOTE: A minimum of 10 watts solar charging power is needed to charge the batteries. Adding a second battery 
[RB500] will improve the number of gate cycles.
