Tips
Stuff We Do To Help Make Your Installation More Enjoyable!
1. We include 4 spare fork terminals and shrink tube just in case you chose to add additional
conductors.
2. Notes on wiring and termination to reduce corrosion and mechanical stress.
3. We know there is no substitute for human interaction.
4. We enjoy sharing thoughts with our customers or even those poor misguided souls
who aren't customers!
5. We will include 10' of 2 conductor red & black cable for the solar panel with
the Positive and Negative connectors attached on one end. If you need
more, simply let us know.
6. We suggest using a conduit or even garden hose for running the solar
panel wire to reduce the potential of a critter shewing on the wires.
7. Use a small jar or lid to hold the cover screws so you don't loose them. All of the screws
must be used or the box will leak water and that is not good!
8. If you are going to use the remote to turn on a local light, do NOT use the
operator battery as a power source. Use the receiver relay to turn them on or use a
second relay to switch an external power source. We can discuss your thoughts on this.
9. Please feel free to have a no strings attached discussion of your particular gate and or
operator challenges with us.
