APPLICATIONS
The Apollo Model 7300ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate
up to 32 feet in total length (30 foot gate with 3 foot tail) and 1,000 lbs. A professional
fence or gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation. Apollo Gate
Operators are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation
in the fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the proper
equipment for particular applications. Apollo Gate Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct
Current) powered. A 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour minimum) is
recommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:

Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.

Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of
power outages.

The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy
(Electrical battery chargers should have a class 2 transformer rating).
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 following table 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. All solar pan-
els and battery chargers are designed for use with a 12 volt battery.
