APPLICATIONS
The Model 3500/3600 Swing Gate Operator is designed for residential and commercial applications.
The 3500/3600 is listed with ETL and complies with the UL 325 standard. The 3500/3600 will handle
swing gates up to 20 feet in length and 1,000 pounds each. A professional fence or gate dealer is rec-
ommended to assure proper installation. The Model 3500/3600 operator is 12 Volt DC (Direct Current)
powered. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
xx Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
x Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of power outages.
x The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy (Electrical battery
chargers should have a class 2 transformer rating).
With Battery connected to trickle charger (use Part# 404C from page 6)
If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet is not readily available, a licensed electrician
will be required for proper electrical hook up.
The Charging Method table below should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators
only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge capability of solar
panels will vary with different geographical locations, please refer to Table 1 below.
1050 Gate Operator Solar Charge Controller (With Solar Panel)
The built-in solar charge controller provides maintenance-free protection for 12VDC batteries and so-
lar panels by preventing overcharging. Charging current is adjustable from 0.10 Amps to 1.50 Amps
in 0.05 Amp increments, with adjustable cycle times and Auto Off/On. The battery charge profile may
be manually adjusted to match a particular battery’s specifications, or default settings can be used to
maintain the majority of 12VDC batteries on the market. The charging algorithm is temperature com-
pensated using a built-in temp sensor to further protect batteries against overheating and overcharg-
ing.
