will this work with solar powered gate controllers? Or does it need a 110V electrical connection?

The one I bought is connected to regular 110v Electrical source, but always you have a 12 vdc supply you can connect it directly just taking care of polarity at connector, you can check this out in transformer upon arrival. Also check signal strenght in your area since this device works with 2G nets only you can also ask cell phone provider for 2G availability in your area this may give problem in remote areas. I solved poor signal stenght by installing the antenna outside the Automation Cabinet to 3m high. After 4 months the opener is working perfect and very practical for family and visitors. Hope this helps.

I suppose does not exist any problem if you have an electric outlet. The source of energy does not matter.

The power supply that comes with the unit generates 12VDC that feeds the CGate unit. The power requirement of the CGate1000S from a Solar system that charges a 12VDC Battery are:Solar Panel - 17WRechargeable battery - 12V /2.3AH or moreThe above requirement is on top of the requirement for the existing system.Also, make sure that at the installation point you have a good Cellular signal of 2G GSM data.

Run the solar panel connection to the charge controller, then from the charge controller to a 12 volt battery. Works great for me running lights at a deer camp.

Yes, because some people have access to electricity at their gate locations and don't need Solar and batteries.Be sure to buy a sealed battery made for solar- automobile or lawnmower batteries with caps on top will outgas and corrode the computer of the gate opener. Then charge the new battery before you install it in the opener.

It attaches to our old existing door opener. It just takes a standard home current. 110v.

I have had this connected to 2 100 watt panels and four golf cart batteries wired to 24 volts. I have also had it connected to 12 volts on my larger solar system and it works fine although pumps at a slower rate.

Hope I can help. The gate opener only opens and closes the gate stopping a point that you determine. it will not move from these settings. If you are referring to a latch and lock system the normal kind will not work with the opener. Yes you could have a normal latch that would close and secure the gate but it would have to be opened manually to open the gate. There is a electromagnetic gate latch that works well but you can only use it if your using normal ac current, the solar version will not take the load of this type of gate latch and will run the battery down faster than the solar panel can charge it. I have no latch on my gate but put a 2x6 piece of wood on my fence and the gate pushes up against the wood to keep a tight fit when closed. For security if i'm away from home at length I just wrap a chain and lock around the gate when its closed. Its a great opener but I have several helpful suggestions that the company does not explain for security, and also ease of installation if you are interested.

It just has a 110 connection, I suppose if you have a way to meter the voltage to the jump box, I don't see why not? I use land power, so I may not be the one to ask, maybe you should ask someone with "Solar experience"

Yes the solar panel was separate, however any 12v panel will work, It has a regulator built-in so you only need the solar panel. It will work for any 12v gate opener. They are available quite cheaply from other sources, depending on your useage the size should be at least 5 or 10 watt $20-35.00

The positive and negative wires from the solar connect to the appropriate connection in, in the contrle. The positive out goes to the battery + and the negative out goes to the battery negative post. The controller is not grounded, no ground terminal.

This controller only takes bare wire connections unless you have an additional connecting plug for a specific unit. I used all individual wires to connect to Batt, Solar and Load.

There is just a solar panel. And you would have to mount it to some post and may need some additional wire to connect it to solar charge controller.

You should have no problems with your setup. The Sun-600G starts working when it detects 22V. I have 3 units working without any issues for a year already. Good luck with your project !

You always need a Solar Charge Controller between the solar panel and the battery. This particular solar panel comes with a solar charge controller, so you don't need to buy one. You will need to connect it. The controller that came with the panel I bought is not high quality. I purchased a separate charge controller. The charge controller needs to be rated for 12 V battery and at least 2 A (amps). There are many available. How you connect to the battery depends on the battery terminals. I need reliability, so I bought ring crimp-connectors that fit the clamps on the battery.

Hi Getpreparedstuff,Are you able to share with me the model of the solar charge controller that you use? Thanks. -David

No, it is more involved than that. You will need a controller and two circuit breakers. The inverter and controller will depend on what you want to do with your solar

This model will handle a maximum of 100 volts of DC output from your solar panels, so your 48 volts is well withing its limits. If your system uses 12 volt batteries, which is most common, and your panels produce no more than 130 watts of maximum power (260 watts if your electrical system is 24 volts) this controller will do the job well. This is a great little controller and I'm totally satisfied with it, and the price is very fair.

Tisa,I use my 20w panel to keep 2 batteries charged up. The batteries operate my garage door opener.You need to wire the 20w panel to the 7w Ramsond solar controller and the controller connects to the batteries. Its simple and all is explained with controller and solar panel instructions.
