5. Setup and Installation

5.1 Power System Options

The Gyxel C01-L offers flexible power options:

1. Standard AC Power: Connect directly to 110V AC household power using the included transformer. This is the default and recommended mode where AC electricity is stable.
2. AC with Battery Backup: For added reliability, connect two 12V 8Ah batteries (not included) as a backup power source. The AC power will charge these batteries.
3. Solar Power with Battery: For off-grid operation, add solar panels (ASIN: B0FSCLQGKK, sold separately) and a charge controller (ASIN: B0FS5GL3LH, sold separately) to keep the 24V batteries (not included) charged.
4. Hybrid (AC, Solar, Battery): Combine AC electricity, solar panels, and batteries for maximum flexibility and redundancy.

5.2 Gate Compatibility and Installation Types

This opener is suitable for various medium-duty single swing gate types, including panel-style, tube-style (tubular gate bracket sold separately), and other structural designs made of steel, wood, or vinyl.

The actuators can be installed in two configurations:

• Push-to-Open: For gates that swing outwards.
• Pull-to-Open: For gates that swing inwards.
