| The Q&A on this Product |
|
|
| QUESTION: How much extra is the 10 watt solar panel charger? I assume it comes with a 5 watt. |
| ANSWER: |
|
| QUESTION: Do the 1500 and 1550 come with everything that I need for solar operation except for the battery? |
| ANSWER: Yes. |
|
| QUESTION: I have an Apollo gate opener now installed but need a new power operator without the control box
can you provide that? This gate is on a gated community. We counted the number of open/close operations at 55 can this unit handle this? Is there a better arm for this application? |
| ANSWER: I think that I could help you better if you call me on the phone. My number
is 1-800-444-9893 |
|
| QUESTION: Will the gate openers work on an aluminum tube panel gate (cattle panel) single swing? |
| ANSWER: Yes, it would be no problem. |
|
| QUESTION: Is 16' the top end of this product and create more wear and tear? Would we be better off going with two 8' gates and openers? |
| ANSWER: I have installed many of these units on 16' ornamental gates. They have no
problem with them. I have even installed them on 18' gates. We have been selling
this brand for about 18 years now. This is probably the best gate operator that
is on the market. I would advise though for gates 14' and longer to use the
Model 1550 gate operator. It has a soft start and soft stop function that will
really save the life of the post that the gate hangs on. |
|
| QUESTION: Do I need a charge controller between the solar panel and the battery?I heard that will stop the solar panel from draining the battery at night. |
| ANSWER: You will not have any problem with that. The solar panel does not discharge
the battery at night. It has a built in diode that prevents that from happening. Power can not run
the opposite way. |
|
| QUESTION: What kind of battery does the 1500 use? |
| ANSWER: It uses a deep cycle marine battery. |
|
| QUESTION: Will this model work with a keypad and a remote? What would be the turn key price on two openers, 4 remotes and one keypad? |
| ANSWER: If you went with 2-1500 and 1-Key Pad Item #42001 the cost would be $2,079
Each gate opener comes with 2 remotes.
Thanks David |
|
| QUESTION: Will this opener work on a roll gate? |
| ANSWER: The 1500 will not, but I have one that will. Use this same Product Question feature to specify the size of gate and we will answer with the exact model you need. |
