The Toona Swing Gate Operator is designed to handle a swing gate up to 14 feet
(T5-ETL) and 20 feet (T7-ETL) in total length. Apollo 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 Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered.
If a electrical battery charger is used a 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour mini-
mum) is recommended . If solar charging is used a 12 volt 105 ampere hour battery
is recommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:
Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.
Battery powered operators can provide up to 500 operations in the event of
power outages.
The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy
(eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
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
panels and battery chargers are designed for use with a 12 volt battery.
