Solar Panels connect in PARALLEL
Accessories will draw additional power from the battery; the more
accessories you connect, the more power your system will require.
We recommend that you purchase an extra 12V, 7 amp hour battery
(RB500) for the FM500/502, SW2500/2502, SW3000XL/3200XL,
SW4000XL/4200XL
*An operational cycle is one full
opening and closing of the gate.
*Number of openings per day will
depend on the length, weight, hard-
ware and environmental conditions.
