For Viking Vehicular Gate Operators
STEP 1
Use a 24V solar panel or two solar panels of 12V in series with a total capacity of 40 Watts..
STEP 2
Connect the solar panel cables to the power harness as shown. Make sure you cut the wires coming from the toroidal transformer.
STEP 3
Replace the existing batteries with a battery pack of 33AHr or greater.
STEP 4
Refer to the maps provided to get an idea about the number of cycles the gate will be operated per day. This figure is for a single gate operator with just:
a)One Radio reiver,
b)One low voltage low current loop detector and
c)One low voltage, low current photo cell

NOTE –
1.Remember that the sun is your only source of energy.
2.The greater capacity of the batteries, the longer the system will operate on cloudy days.
3.If more spcific information is needed, please consult with Viking Access Systems. For more information regarding solar energy refer to http:/www.nrel.gov.
