NOTE
Push-to-Open installations REQUIRE an accessory Push-to-Open bracket kit (AXPO). DUAL applications require
two (2) AXPO kits.
4. Mounting location on gate and support post, column, or wall.
A. Wooden posts should be at least 6x6 in size.
B. Metal posts should be at least 4x4 in size.
C. Additional mounting bolts may be required if the included bolts are not at least 1” longer than the diameter
of the post.
5. Location and mounting point of control box and battery box.
6. FOR DUAL GATE APPLICATION, THE FIRST OPERATOR THE ONE WITH THE SHORTEST POWER
CABLE MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE GATE CLOSEST TO THE CONTROL BOX LOCATION.
7. Power source to charge the battery (Solar Power vs. AC Power via transformer)
A. Never use Solar Panels and an AC transformer on a gate system at the same time or you will damage the
main control board and void any warranty.
B. The AC transformer is designed for indoor use and must be protected in a weather resistant box
(that meets code in your area) if it will be mounted outside.
8. If choosing to use an AC transformer for the battery recharging power
source, you should consider the distance from an outlet to your battery box.
A. No more than 1000 feet of low voltage wire may be used between
the AC transformer and the gate operator system due to electrical
losses. If your application exceeds 1000 feet in distance, you must
use Solar Panels for your power source to recharge the batteries.
B. Wire will need to be purchased separately.
C. The transformer should be on a circuit that is protected by a
GFCI plug or breaker.
9. How to exit the property and trigger opening operation of the gate
(push button, remote transmitter, keypad, or vehicle exit wand).
10. Number of hours of direct sunlight available for solar applications.
A. Please check the following for your locations poten-
tial solar energy available. http://energy.gov/maps/

B. Determine the number of expected winter cycles for a
single
gate using solar power by reviewing map and chart shown.
A MAXIMUM OF 3 AXDP 10-WATT SOLAR
PANELS OR NO MORE THAN 30-WATTS OF
SOLAR POWER SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO
ANY GHOST CONTROLS SYSTEM CONTROL
BOARD.
