Nice Apollo 1500 Single Swing Actuator Gate Opener with Free DIY Kit The Apollo 1500 is the basic version of the two Apollo linear actuators. Apollo is known as the premier solar gate opener due to its low power consumption and large battery capacity. Designed for ranchers and built in Texas, this opener allows you the flexibility to position the operating arm on the inside, outside, left side, or right side of the gate, operating in either pull or push mode. This provides you with the freedom to adapt the gate opener to the contours of your property. The Apollo 1500 Single Gate Opener is a low-voltage system, eliminating the need to run 110 AC power to your gate. Simply run 14-gauge low-voltage wire to a household outlet within 1,000 feet of the operator (provided) or use Gate Crafters solar panels (sold separately). With Apollo's generously sized CBOX636 control box, you can accommodate a larger battery than most gate operating systems. A larger battery means more cycles during power outages or periods of low sunlight (if solar power is being used). A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide up to 300 cycles or an average of 30 days of use on a basic system before requiring a recharge (battery not included). Each cycle consists of a full open and close, taking approximately 15 seconds in each direction. **For this board to function a UL 325 photo eye safety device must also be attached to the board and used in the operator system. Gate Crafters has the resources you need.
How do you use your gate opener system once you get it? Gate Crafters is the only retailer to give a real answer to this question. We have develop videos for installing many of our gate openers and products and write DIY focused manuals for most gate openers and have individual instructions for each accessory to be installed with each gate opener.
