SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATIONSOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
For Viking Vehicular Gate Operators
STEP 1
Use a 24V solar panel or two solar panels of 12V
in series with a total capacity of 80 Watts..
STEP 3
Replace the existing batteries with a battery pack
of 35AHr or greater.
STEP 2
Connect the solar panel cables to the power
harness as shown. Make sure you cut the wires
coming from the toroidal transformer.
STEP 4
Refer to the maps provided to get an idea about the
number of cycles the gate will be operated per day.
This figure is for a single gate operator with just:
a) One Radio reiver,
b) One low voltage low current loop detector and
c) One low voltage, low current photo cell
