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

Specifications

APC-RR-11 Retro Reflective Sensor

The retro-reflective Safety sensor set is used to prevent the closing cycle occurring during the case of the sensor path being interrupted by vehicles, trailers or any other obstacles.

If the gate begins to close and the sensor path is interrupted then the gate will stop and return to the open position.

The sensor ( which is the transmitter and receiver) is wired back to the control box of the gate system using the pre-connected cable. There is no requirement for wiring across the driveway using this type of sensor.
 

• Up to 11 Metres Infrared beam operating distance


• Only powers on when the command is given to close the gates


• Alignment & Misalignment led to assist in the installation process


• Resin filled for the ultimate weatherproofing

APC-KP2W Wireless Keypad Features

• Low Power Consumption only 18uA in standby.


• Easy to replace AA battery-powered system (supplied) with up to two years usage on general use.


• High strength tempered glass faceplate with an ultra-modern and highly reliable touch-sensitive operation.


• Blue Backlight illumination upon touch with an automatic timeout to return to standby.


• Two dedicated LED indicators indicating and accepted pin code (green) and also security lockout (red)


• IP53 Weatherproof rated and suited for outdoor and indoor environments.


• Built in Anti Tamper alarm and security lockout to help prevent theft and unauthorized usage.


• Pin code scramble allowing the user to input a series of random number before the pin code to prevent pin code theft.


• Two-Channel operation allowing the user to control two different items or functions using separate pin codes.


 

Channel 1 supports up to 8 Pin Numbers (Full Gate Feature)

 

Channel 2 supports up to 3 Pin Numbers (Pedestrian Gate Feature)

Wireless Push Button with Isolation Key

The wireless push button switch is a simple and easy to use method to operate the gate. It is mounted in the general area of the gate and can be isolated by using the supplied keys without affecting the rest of the system, this is handy if you want to continue using the remotes or any other method of operation but wish to stop use of the push button itself.

The wireless push button communicates with the control board using the same rolling code 433mhz frequency as the remote thus eliminating the need for any extra add ons. If required the wireless push button can be upgraded to a wireless keypad for higher access security using pin number.

The push button can be used for over 50 metres in operating distance.
