Solar Panel Zone Map
The colors on this map designate solar zones during the periods of the
year when the least amount of sun light is available. The recommended
cycles do not factor the power draw of accessories. Cycles are
considered one full opening and closing movement of a maximum
size/weight
gate for the corresponding opener. Cycles are also figured to be
proportionally distributed over a 12 to 14 hour period; not
consecutive.

The Apollo 70002UL Dual Slide Opener can be used in most residential
cantilever or track applications including automating gates made of
steel, aluminum, wood, and chain link, along with many other gate types.
The operator works on a chain driven system, 25ft of #40 roller chain is
included. The entire opener can be post mounting by utilizing the post
mounting ears on all four corners of the unit, thus eliminating the need
for painstaking pad mounting.
The Apollo 70002UL Dual Slide Opener is a low voltage system,
eliminating the need to run 110 AC to your gate. Simply use a Gate
Crafters solar panel to help power your unit. The entire opener is housed within one NEMA 3R
box. While it contains both the operator and the control board, it still
leaves ample space for a larger battery. A larger battery means more
cycles during low sunlight. A fully charged deep cycle marine battery
will provide up to 300 cycles or an average of 30 days usage on a basic
system before requiring a recharge (Battery not included). Each cycle is
a full open and close and takes approximately 1 foot per second each
direction.
The 7002UL Dual Slide Opener can be used in conjunction with exit
sensors, magnetic and solenoid locks, safety sensors, intercoms, digital
keypads, solar panels and much more.

"Texas is known to have some of the toughest conditions for a slide
operator. Some areas have high wind and sand storms, while others get
hit with heavy rain. The people at Apollo know this because they live
there and they have designed this operator to be effective in their own
backyard. And you know if it can stand up there, it can stand up just
about anywhere.
The 70002UL Dual Slide Opener is designed for home, ranch or light
industrial use. It is economically priced and built to last. With and
opening capability of 25' most driveways are covered, even ones made to
be accessible to tracker trailers. The operator is ready to be post
mounted, taking away the try process of creating a pad mount. Pad mounts
can be difficult to make correctly. The entire unit is housed inside a
NEMA 3R box. 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.
The real highlight of this opener is in its control board. It features
Apollo's new 800 series control board. The 800 series is intelligent,
easy to use and a leap above many other comparable control boards. Among
the many advantages of the 800 series board is the self-adjustment to
natural factors. All UL 325 approved boards have an adjustable inherent
obstruction sensor. The 800 board takes it further by self-learning what
natural obstructions already exist. For example, if your gate is heavy
but you want the obstruction sensor to be very sensitive to avoid damage
or injury the 800 series board will automatically learn changes in the
momentum caused by the weight of the gate and differentiate them from an
actual obstacle.
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."
