24V 20 Watt Solar Panel (Upgradable to 20 Watt or 60 Watt options)

Mono Crystalline silicon solar cells with 3mm tempered glass and two sheets of tedlar-polyeaster-tedlar (TPT) and ethylene Vinyl acetate (EVA). This protects against moisture penetrating into the module. The solar panel is supplied with a fence mounting bracket system along with a pre-connected 5 metre cable (maximum cable distance is 20 metres), the solar panel is also fitted with a diode to prevent feed back from the batteries.

24V 9aH Battery System

Supplied with the automation kit, the 24V Battery System* (2 x 12V  9Ah Batteries) will allow for continued use of the gate system, whether day or night. The system can operate for up to one week of regular residential use without any charge from the solar panel (winter months/wet season) and will automatically recharge from sunlight. When the system batteries are fully charged, it will continue to float charge to keep the batteries topped up and ready for use. In the case of extended use requirements or higher duty, there are upgrade options to 17aH and 33aH battery systems.

 *Fully charged batteries will provide 27V and Cuts Off the system at 24V to improve AGM battery life

Remote Features

Specifications

Long Distance Remote

The APC-RC450S Long range remote is capable of achieving operating distances of up to 400 metres, coupled with the add on booster antenna it can reach up to 800 metres. With these distances you can operate the gate system from around the property, at the home or from the workshop. Multiple long range remotes can be used on the one system.

APC Booster 433mhz Antenna

 

The APC booster antenna is suitable for gate automation systems, garage doors, receivers and any other devices using the 433mhz or 433.92mhz radio frequency band.

As a general rule of thumb on a properly function system you can expect to see results of doubling the range of the transmitter.

The antenna can also help in resolving issues where the transmitter range is decreased due to installation methods such a receiver being behind a metal fence, brick pillar , metal box and numerous other range decreasing factors

Automatic Electric Lock

The 24V electric gate lock is a completly automatic solution to lock the gate once reaching the closed position and automatically unlock as soon as the command is given for the gates to operate whether by remote or any other accessory.

The electric gate lock will connect horizontally to the gate on the furthest side away from the hinge. When closing it will engage into its armature plate on the adjacent post. The armature plate is a blank canvas and can be welded or screwed to the post. The electric lock itself is wired back to the control board by the supplied 6 metre cable

APC-RR-11 Retro Reflective Sensor

The retro-reflective Safety sensor set is used to prevent the closing cycle occurring during the case of the sensor path being interrupted by vehicles, trailers or any other obstacles.

If the gate begins to close and the sensor path is interrupted then the gate will stop and return to the open position.

The sensor ( which is the transmitter and receiver) is wired back to the control box of the gate system using the pre-connected cable. There is no requirement for wiring across the driveway using this type of sensor.
 

• Up to 11 Metres Infrared beam operating distance


• Only powers on when the command is given to close the gates


• Alignment & Misalignment led to assist in the installation process


• Resin filled for the ultimate weatherproofing
