RB905 Rev. 11/5/07 Printed in China for GTO, Inc. 2 Solar Panel Installation Step 1: Slide the 1/4" bolts (F) through the bottom of each channel so threaded part of each bolt comes through top of frame, position the pipe (D) between the bolts and place two clamps (C) over the curved pipe onto the bolts. The clamp at the top of the solar panel should fit over the pin on the curved pipe. Secure with the 1/4" nuts (E). Step 2: Determine the site for installation of the solar panel. It is important to install the solar panel facing the path of the sun where full sun will strike its face throughout the day. The solar panel cannot be shaded out or obstructed by trees, bushes, buildings etc for any part of the day. The curved pipe (D) maintains the proper angle to the sun. Secure the solar panel assembly to a wooden post or fence using two pipe clamps (C) and #2 lag screws (B) as shown in the illustration. If your fence post is metal, you will need alternative hardware not provided, (i.e. U-clamps or metal screws). IMPORTANT: the solar panel must be positioned facing the path of the sun, due south and in an open area away from shade. It should receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight for a full charge. HINT: If the solar panel must be placed more than 10 ft. from the control box (but less than 250 feet away), use multi-stranded, 16 gauge (AWG), direct burial, low-voltage wire RB509 (see Accessory Catalog). Never use telephone wire or solid core wire. IMPORTANT: To provide secure and moisture resistant splices for solar panels use a direct burial splice kit for underground splices and an above ground splice kit for above ground splices. These splice kits can be found at hardware and electrical supply stores. HINTS for Obtaining Maximum Output from Your Solar Panel 1. Place the panel facing due south in the path of the sun, where full sun will strike its face throughout the day(minimum 8 hours). 2. Mount the panel using the curved pipe provided to maintain the proper angle to the sun. 3. For optimal efficiency, wipe the face of the panel frequently with a soft, damp cloth. The output of the Solar Panel is variable during the day depending on the intensity of the sun and the angle of the rays striking the panel. The output may vary from a few millivolts to as much as 22 volts. To check the output, simply disconnect the solar panel leads from the control board and connect them directly to a dc voltmeter. In bright sunlight the panel output should read at least 18 volts dc at approximately 300mA. 3 Step 3: All Mighty Mule and GTO/PRO DC powered gate operators have a POWER IN terminal on their control boards marked SOLAR for connecting the solar panel wires. Below are various types of terminals on GTO/PRO and Mighty Mule control boards, if your control board doesn't have this terminal, please call the GTO's Technical Service Department at (800)543-1236 or (850)575-4144 for assistance. Feed the free end of the solar panel wires into the control box and attach them to the SOLAR terminals on the POWER IN terminal block on the control board. The RED solar panel wire goes to the (+) POSITIVE Solar terminal and the BLACK solar panel wire goes to the (–) NEGATIVE Solar terminal. See diagram below. IMPORTANT: Improper installation of these wires will damage to the opener's control board.
