LiftMaster Solar Gate Operators feature a best-in-class power management system that delivers power when needed most to operate the gate while minimizing power consumption at all other times. Power is provided to the gate operator via batteries. The batteries are charged from a solar panel(s) connected to the operator. The number of solar panels required is determined by whether the application is for a single or dual-gate, daily cycle rate, control board current consumption by feature and accessory, and region of the country.
Solar panel(s) must be located in an open area clear of obstructions and shading for the entire day. Snow, heavy fog or heavy rain affect solar panel performance and charge rate. Solar panels should be cleaned regularly to ensure proper operation. LiftMaster Gate Operators utilizing the solar option in cold weather climates where temperatures reach below -32°F (0°C) for more than 2 consecutive weeks require 33Ah batteries in lieu of standard 7Ah batteries. This is due to the effect of cold weather on batteries and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. (see back page for details)

The map and daily cycle rate shown are approximations based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given regions. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar optimized or wireless accessories are recommended in order to minimize power draw, as added accessories draw power and affect the daily cycle rate. For full details please reference the manual.

LiftMaster Solar Gate Operators are engineered to have low idle current draw including radio receiver to maximize battery life and solar performance. It is important to note, the following environmental factors can adversely affect battery performance in solar applications.
- Cold temperature (below 32°F (0°C))
- Snow cover on solar panel
- Reduced hours of sunlight in winter months
In geographic areas that experience cold temperatures below 32°F (0°C) for more than two weeks in addition to any of the factors listed above, the following steps can be taken to ensure best performance:
- Replace the standard 7Ah batteries with 33Ah batteries. (For linear actuators, use the optional XL control box model XLSOLARCONTUL)
- In states adjacent to Canada and Canadian provinces, increase the angle of the solar panels by an additional 15 degrees (60 degrees total). This will optimize the solar panels for the winter months and reduce the buildup of snow and ice on the panels.
Important note: Daily cycle rate and standby time will be reduced by at least 50% when temperatures reach extreme cold temperatures below -4°F (or -20°C) for periods of more than two weeks.
For best performance during the winter months, snow and ice should be removed from the solar panel, moving parts on the gate and gate operator. In addition all snow should be removed from the path of the gate to prevent nuisance reversals.
**Optional Power Supply for Cold Weather Applications**
| Gate Operator | Optional Power Supply |
|---|---|
| LA500PKGUL, LA412PKGUL, LA400PKGUL | XLSOLARCONTUL (2) 33Ah batteries not included) |
| CSW24UL, CSL24UL, HDSL24UL<br>HDSW24UL, IHSL24UL, INSL24UL | (2) 33Ah batteries recommended in lieu of standard 7Ah batteries |
| RSW12UL, RSL12UL | (1) 33Ah batteries recommended in lieu of standard 7Ah batteries |
If heavy amounts of snow are expected over several days, the manual disconnect may be engaged and the gate left open to allow access and snow removal. Once the snow is removed, simply reengage the manual disconnect to resume normal operation.
