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

Specifications

APC-PE2000 Photoelectric Safety Sensor Set

The 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.

Both sensors (transmitter and receiver) are wired back to the control box of the gate system using the supplied cable roll, alternatively a reflective sensor upgrade is available which will only require wiring from the sensor mounted at the control box.
 

• Up to 15 Metres Infared beam operating distance


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


• Alignment led to assist in the installation process


• Weather sealed with the supplied cover seals


• Easy screw down wiring termination


 

APC-KP2W Wireless Keypad Features

• Up to 11 pin codes can be programmed


• Low Power Consumption only 18uA in standby.


• Easy to replace AA battery-powered system (supplied) with up to two years usage on general use.


• High strength tempered glass faceplate with an ultra-modern and highly reliable touch-sensitive operation.


• Blue Backlight illumination upon touch with an automatic timeout to return to standby.


• Two dedicated LED indicators indicating and accepted pin code (green) and also security lockout (red)


• IP53 Weatherproof rated and suited for outdoor and indoor environments.


• Built in Anti Tamper alarm and security lockout to help prevent theft and unauthorized usage.


• Pin code scramble allowing the user to input a series of random number before the pin code to prevent pin code theft.


 

Wireless Double Push Button with Isolation Key

The wireless double push button switch is a simple and easy to use method to operate the gate for full gate operation and also pedestrian function.

It is mounted in the general area of the gate and can be isolated by using the supplied keys without affecting the rest of the system, this is handy if you want to continue using the remotes or any other method of operation but wish to stop use of the push button itself.

The wireless push button communicates with the control board using the same rolling code 433mhz frequency as the remote thus eliminating the need for any extra add ons. If required the wireless push button can be upgraded to a wireless keypad for higher access security using pin number and can have diffrent pin codes for both the full gate operation and pedestrian function.

65mm Rubber Gate Stop

The supplied 65mm rubber gate stop with a steel base is used for the gate alignment and tension whilst they are in the closed position; it also allows the gates to be mounted up to 50mm off the ground.

Being that the minimum vehicle height from the ground is 100mm, it will not interfere with the vehicle. In the case that the vehicle was lower than the typical minimum, the stopper would not cause any damage as it is constructed from solid rubber but retains its general strength from the steel plate used at the bottom side contacting the driveway.
