SOLAR GATE ACCESS SYSTEM DAILY CYCLE CHART
The LA500 Solar Gate Access System utilizes an
innovative Power Management System to deliver
power when needed most for operating a 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 control board. The number
of solar panels required is determined by whether the
application is for a single or dual gate, daily cycle rate,
number of accessories and region of the country.
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. Low Power Draw
or Wireless Accessories are recommended in order
to minimize power draw, as added accessories draw
power and affect the daily cycle rate.
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. The LA500 is not supported in
climates where temperatures reach below -4°F. This
is due to the effect of cold weather on batteries and a
reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter
months. Solar panels should be cleaned regularly to
ensure proper operation.
Expansion board and LiftMaster

Internet Gateway
not recommended for solar applications. These
features will substantially decrease the cycle rate
and standby time.
