The Apollo 1650 is the intelligent version of the two Apollo linear actuators. Below you will find a feature comparison
of the two openers. Apollo is known as the premier solar gate opener because of its low power consumption and large
battery. The Apollo was designed for ranchers and is built in Texas. This opener gives you the freedom to set your
operating arm on the inside, outside, left side or right side of the gate operating in either pull or push to open; thus
giving you as much freedom as you need to have a gate opener that will work with the contours of your property.
The Apollo 1650 dual Gate Opener is a low voltage system, eliminating the need to run 110 AC to your gate. Simply run
14-gauge low voltage to a household outlet within 1000' of the operator (provided) or use a Gate Crafters solar panel
(sold separately). With Apollo's generous sized NEMA 3R control box you can house a larger battery than most gate
operating systems. A larger battery means more cycles during a time of power outages or low sunlight (if solar is being
used). A fully charged deep cycle battery will provide up to 300 cycles or an average of 30 days usage on a basic system
before requiring a recharge (Battery is not included). Each cycle is a full open and close and takes approximately 15
seconds each direction.

The 1050 series control board is a new release from Apollo as of 2013. This is the next generation of smart baords for gate openers. It has a built in solar regulator, LCD display for programming and diagnostics, digital controls over force, speed, delay, etc, built in surge supression, Built in clock and timer, and built in multimeter for knowing battery voltage. |

"Apollo has been a quality name for years in the gate opener industry, plus the choice of many professional installers.
Coming from Texas, the people at Apollo know and understand the convenience a gate opener can add to a ranch or home.
The 1650 dual Gate Opener is designed for home or ranch use. It is economically priced and built to last. Most home and
ranch gates range between 100 and 300 pounds, which is well within the capabilities of the 1650 dual Opener. Apollo has
really put some time and thought into making this arm durable and ready to take an environmental pounding. The arm is
rust proof and self-lubricating and is teamed up with a sturdy NEMA 3R box for the control board and battery. NEMA 3R
boxes are well known for being the ultimate in weather protection. They stand up to most anything nature can dish out;
winds, sands, ice and snow are no match for a NEMA 3R box.
GateCrafters.com is dedicated to getting the right gate opener for your gate. As more gate openers are being made
economically feasible and easy to maintain, the selection is going to grow ever wider. That's where GateCrafters.com
comes in. We have extensive amounts of educational material on our website to help you become an informed consumer. We
also have our factory-trained representatives standing by to answer all your gate and gate opener questions. The
combination of our customers passion for home improvement and GateCrafters.com’s wealth of knowledge is a perfect match
and cannot be duplicated.”
