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. 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.
7. 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. AXLV 100’ Low Voltage Wire is available as an accessory.
C. The transformer should be on a circuit that is protected by a GFCI plug or breaker.
8. How to exit the property and trigger opening operation of the gate (push button, remote transmitter, keypad, or vehicle
exit wand).
