AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER • Installation Manual12Technical SpecificationsSystem Power• The system is powered by a 12 VDC, 7.2 Ah, sealed,rechargeable lead-acid battery.• The battery is charged by a 120 to 18 VAC step-downtransformer which supplies power to an integrated 1amp charger on the Zareba gate opener controlboard.• The control board is protected by one 15 amp blade-style fuse.• Optional Zareba Solar Panel for charging battery. Thesolar panel provides voltage, current, and power of16.5 VDC, .300 amps, and 5 watts of power, respec-tively.Voltage Ratings18 VAC Transformer: 18.0 to 22.0 VAC5 W Solar panel (single): 16.5 to 22.0 VDC 300 mA12 V Battery: 12.0 to 13.5 VDC 7.2 AhCharging circuit: 12.0 to 14.8 VDCGate Drive• Linear actuator temperature range: -30°F to 120°F(-34°C to 49°C).• Powered by a 24 VDC motor.• Load capacity up to 2000N.• Maximum opening arc of 130°. Approximate openingtime (90°): 20 seconds, depending on weight of gate.Gate Control Panel• Gate opener’s microprocessor-based control board isfactory set for single or dual, pull-to-open gateinstallations.• DIP switches can be adjusted for dual or push-to-opengates to facilitate gate opener set-up.• Remote-mounted RF receiver tuned to 318 MHz.• Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is35.5 inches.• Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF to 120 seconds) andobstruction sensitivity.• Provisions made for digital keypads, push-to-open/push-to-close buttons, contact (safety edge)sensors, and non-contact (photoelectric) sensors.• Audible entrapment alarm.Operational Capacity• The Gate Capacity Chart shows the approximatecycles per day you can expect when the battery isbeing charged with transformer and AC power.Important Gate Information!Inspect the gate to ensure that it is in proper conditionfor the installation of the gate opener. Take steps as nec-essary to meet these requirements.The following criteria MUST be met prior to installation:• The gate is plumb, level, and swings freely on itshinges.• No wheels are attached to the gate.• The gate moves throughout its arc without binding ordragging on the ground.• Gates weighing more than 250 lbs. use ball-bearinghinges with grease fittings.• The fence post is secured in the ground with concreteto minimize twist or flex when the opener is activated.• If your gate lacks a horizontal or vertical cross mem-ber, add one to provide a stable area for mountingthe gate bracket.One Cycle =one open + one closeGate Capacity ChartEstimated number of daily cycles, based on usewith a transformer and one 12-Volt batteryGateLength16 ft 160 152 145 137 130 122 115 107 10014 ft 165 157 150 142 135 127 120 112 10512 ft 170 162 155 147 140 132 125 117 11010 ft 175 167 160 152 145 137 130 122 1154-8 ft 180 172 165 157 150 142 135 127 12050 lb 100 lb 200 lb 300 lb 400 lb 500 lb 600 lb 700 lb 800 lbGate Weight
