 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

 Installation should be performed by a professional installer.  R

equired welding should be performed by a qualified welder.

 Should electricity be required, use a cer

tified electrician only.

 Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.  Review with

the owner all safety concerns including:



Do not operate the gate unless area around gate is in full view.



Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.



Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.



Periodically test the obstruction sensitivity to assure safe and proper operation. Do not test sensitiv

ity by standing between the gate and the hinge or

stop post.



The “CAUTION AUTOMATIC GATE” signs should be clearly visible from both sides of the gate.



Always insure that the gate has closed securely before leaving area.



Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.

 Use the emergency release only whe

n the gate is not moving.

 A secondary entrapment device such as loop detectors, edge switches, and b

eam

detectors are highly recommended and required to meet the UL325 standard.

 Install control devices

such as keypads far enough away (5 feet or further) from any

moving parts of the operator and gate to

prevent possible injury.

 Do not install control box where the gate can come in contact with person

using the

push button on side of control box.

 Always disconnect the battery or power source when maki

ng adjustments or repairs to

any part of the gate or operator.

 All rollers should be covered to preve

nt injury.

 KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified

service person m

ake repairs to gate hardware.

 The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entra

nce.

Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when

an object activates the non contact sensors. After adjusting the force or limit of

travel, retest the

gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can

increase the risk of injury

or death.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:



APPLICATIONS



Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.



Battery powered operators provide up to 200 operations in the event of power outages.



The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy (Electrical battery chargers sh

ould have a class 2 transformer rating).

If a trickle charger is used and a standard electrical outlet

is not readily available, a

licensed electrician will be required for proper electrical hook up. The f

ollowing table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators

only, additional optio

ns may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge

capability of solar panels will vary wit

h different geographical locations.

The Apollo Model 7200ETL Slide Gate Operator is designed to handle a slide gate up to 32 feet in total length (accomodates a 30 foot drive) and 1,000 Lbs. A professional fence or gate dealer is recommended to assure proper installation. Apollo Gate Operators are available only through qualified dealers with an outstanding reputation in the fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the proper equipment for particular applications. Apollo Gate Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered. A 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour minimum) is recommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:



5 watt solar panel

10 watt solar panel

20 watt solar panel (requires 5310 regulator)

30 watt solar panel (requires 5310 regulator)

40 watt solar panel (requires 5310 regulator)

1.5 amp battery charger

10 amp battery charger

Daily Cycles 1-10 1-20 1-40 1-60 1-80 80+

* *

Note: Double the amount of solar panels for Dual Gate Operators.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

The following checklist should be used before beginning installation:

Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application. Verify proper installation and operation of the gate.

1. Are all rollers covered with a protective housing?

2. Are the rollers servicable?

3. Does the gate roll free and level?

4. Will the gate require a locking device?

5. Are the main posts sturdy enough to handle the gate & operator?

1. Is there a suitable location for the operator?

2.Can the solar panel (if used) be mounted in an unobstructed area facing south?

3. Will additional solar panel cable be required?

4. Is electricity available (if required)?

Consider safety and access options. Recommend if needed.

1. Will there be chidren or animals in the area?

2. Are safety loops, edge switches, or photo beam detectors required?

3. How can the gate be opened in emergencies?

4. How will visitors enter and exit?

5. Will vehicles (and trailers) have sufficient room off roadway to operate any control devices such as keypads?
