WARNING- To reduce the risk of injury or death:
 READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
 Installation should be performed by a professional installer.
 Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only.
 Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L. approved.
 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.
 A secondary entrapment device such as loop detectors, edge switches, and beam
detectors are highly recommended and required to meet the UL325 standard.
 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 operator controls. Keep the remote con-
trol away from children.
 Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS
THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE/ARM.
 Test the operator monthly (see STEP 7 Programming the current sensitivity).  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 operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can in­crease the risk of injury or death.
 Arrange with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.  Always disconnect the battery or power source when making adjustments or
repairs to any part of the operator.
 The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrance.
 Auto Close feature not recommended without a safety device such as a loop
detector or photo eye.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Toona Swing Gate Operator is designed to handle a swing gate up to 14 feet (T5-ETL) and 20 feet (T7-ETL) in total length. Apollo 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 Operators are 12 Volt DC (Direct Current) powered. If a electrical battery charger is used a 12 Volt sealed battery (33 ampere hour mini­mum) is recommended . If solar charging is used a 12 volt 105 ampere hour battery is recommended. There are several advantages with 12 Volt DC systems:

Low voltage virtually eliminates risk of electrical shock.

Battery powered operators can provide up to 500 operations in the event of power outages.

The battery may be recharged with a trickle charger or by solar energy (eliminating the need for costly trenching to remote entrances).
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 following table should be used as a guide for capacity of operation of operators only, additional options may reduce the the daily usage. Please note that the charge
capability of solar panels will vary with different geographical locations. All solar panels and battery chargers are designed for use with a 12 volt battery.

APPLICATIONS

The following checklist should be used before beginning installation:
Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application.
Determine the general location of the operator, access controls, and solar panel (if used).
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? If additional cable is required, do not cut out the blocking diode when adding the cable.
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 eye detectors required? The auto close feature is not recommended unless one or more of these devices are used.
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 access control devices such as keypads?
