2.2 Solar Panel Installation

Proper installation of the solar panel is crucial for efficient battery charging. The panel should be placed in a location that receives maximum direct sunlight throughout the day.

1. Assemble the Bracket: Attach the provided brackets to the solar panel using the included hardware.
2. Mount the Solar Panel: Securely mount the solar panel bracket into the ground or onto a suitable surface, ensuring stability and optimal sun exposure.
3. Connect Wiring: Connect the 2-core cable to the solar panel's positive and negative ports. If available, use a soldering iron to secure the connection for durability.

2.3 Control Box Installation and Wiring

The control box houses the main control board and batteries. It should be installed in a secure, weather-protected location near the gate.

1. Prepare the Control Box: Drill holes on the control box as required for cable entry and install the cable glands to protect the cables from moisture and damage.
2. Mount the Control Box: Securely install the control box on a wall or post using the provided screws.
3. Connect Solar Panel to Control Board: Connect the 2-core cable from the solar panel to the POWER port on the control board, ensuring correct positive and negative polarity.
4. Battery Wiring: Remove the covers from the batteries. Use the short black wire to connect the negative terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of the other, wiring them in series.
5. Connect Batteries to Control Board: Use the remaining black wire to connect the negative terminal of the battery series to the Battery - port on the control board. Use the red wire to connect the positive terminal of the battery series to the Battery + port on the control board.

To avoid short circuits:

• Secure the black wire first.
• Connect the red wire to the control board's positive terminal.
• Link the other end of the red wire to the battery's positive terminal.
