In Depth

Automatic Voltage Selection

The APC Sun Power System can automatically detect the batteries voltage and set itself into the appropriate charging mode of 12V or 24V.

Multiple Battery Modes

The APC Sun Power can be set to to be used with Sealed lead acid, flooded batteries, gel batteries and even Lithium Batteries.

Overcharge and Discharging

The APC Sun Power systems built in temperature sensor will automatically adjust the charging voltage to best suit the environment and as a result a 30% increase in battery lifetime can be expected. Furthermore if the ambient temperature within the enclosure it is installed within exceeds 85° Celsius the Sun Power system will automatically turn off.

Overload and Short Circuit Protection

The APC Sun Power load output will automatically switch off once the load output exceeds 10 Amps (or short circuit) and auto re -try after 30 seconds.

Reverse Polarity Protection

In case of an installation error the Sun Power solar regulator will not be damaged by incorrect polarity on the solar connection or the battery connection.

USB Output Terminals

The Sun Power Series has Two built in USB terminals, each USB terminal is rated to 5V 1A and can be used to operate low current USB devices such as USB powered speakers, tablet and mobile phone charging, warmers, fans etc.

Heavy Duty Design

Built to be last and be used in duty applications the Sun Power System not only offers a powder coated steel heat sink backing plate to keep the controller cool in all charging conditions but also has extra large 10mm wire terminals allowing for use with heavy duty cabling, large bootlace crimps or multiple wires per terminal.

Specifications

24V 9aH Battery System

Supplied with the automation kit, the 24V Battery System* (2 x 12V  9Ah Batteries) will allow for continued use of the gate system, whether day or night. The system can operate for up to one week of regular residential use without any charge from the solar panel (winter months/wet season) and will automatically recharge from sunlight. When the system batteries are fully charged, it will continue to float charge to keep the batteries topped up and ready for use. In the case of extended use requirements or higher duty, there are upgrade options to 17aH and 33aH battery systems.

 *Fully charged batteries will provide 27V and Cuts Off the system at 24V to improve AGM battery life

Interlocking Gear Racks

The Keyed Interlocking Modular Nylon Gear Rack is Compatible with All Sliding Gate Automation

The advantages of nylon racks are that they require no lubrication, are rust-free, and are silent. Furthermore, with the nylon rack, there is no need to carry out any welding, which is required for iron racks and involves more machining in the assembly process. GRx2 is high-quality sliding gate hardware for automatic sliding driveway gates.
