NOT PROVIDED. SEE ACCESSORIES.
The solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading
for the entire day. The gate operator is not supported in northern climates where
temperatures reach below -4˚F. This is due to cold weather and a reduced number of
hours of sunlight during the winter months. Cycle rate may vary from solar chart for
areas that reach below 32˚F. Solar panels should be cleaned on a regular basis for
best performance to ensure proper operation. For solar applications, a minimum of
two 10W solar panels in series and two 7AH batteries are recommended. For Zone 3
cold weather sites, two 33AH batteries are recommended (for Large Metal Control
Box (XLM) ONLY). We recommend LiftMaster low power draw accessories to minimize
power draw, refer to accessory page. We recommend disconnecting the expansion
board for greater cycle ratings and standby time for solar applications. NOTE: Solar
power maximum is 24 Vdc at 50 watts maximum.
1
Locate the solar/charge plug on the control board and remove the transformer
wires from the plug.
2
Connect the red wire (+) from one solar panel to the black wire (-) of the other
solar panel.
3
Connect the remaining red (+) wire from one solar panel to the solar/charge
plug (+) on the control board.
4
Connect the remaining black (-) wire from the other solar panel to the
solar/charge plug (-) on the control board.
5
Plug in the solar/charge plug.
