Ghost Controls AX30 User manual

NOTE
BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE SOLAR PANEL IT MUST BE LOCATED IN AN OPEN AREA THAT GETS
DIRECT UNOBSTRUCTED FULL SUN FOR AT LEAST 8 HOURS PER DAY.
MOUNTING POST IS NOT INCLUDED WITH YOUR 30WATT SOLAR PANEL KIT.
TIPS FOR SOLAR INSTALLATIONS:
Solar panels should be mounted so that foliage growth such as tree leaves, tree branches, or weeds do not cover the
solar panel in a shadow at any point during the day, regardless of the time of year.
Solar panels should be cleaned periodically to remove any snow, dirt, grime, mold, or mildew that
may accumulate and deteriorate the performance.
If this solar panel will be used with a GHOST CONTROLS®Gate Opener System, the power
LED indicator (shown) on the GHOST CONTROLS®System Control Panel will help you align
the panel for optimal charging performance. The faster the power status light blinks or the light
stays solid the better the charge. A blinking light means too much shade or panel needs to be
rotated to gain better charging performance. A solid light is best.
Place the panel facing DUE SOUTH in the path of the sun. Many smart-phones have a magnetic
compass to aid you.

INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1

STEP 3: ATTACH BRACKETS AND PANEL TO A POST
(POST NOT INCLUDED WITH KIT)
STEP 4: ATTACHING WIRE TO CONTROL BOARD
Make sure control board switch is in the OFF position. Feed the free end of the solar panel wires into the control box and
attach them to the appropriate terminals on the control board. The RED solar panel wire goes to the (+) POSITIVE solar
terminal and the BLACK solar panel wire goes to the (–) NEGATIVE solar terminal. If there is a plastic plug inserted into the
negative solar terminal please remove before inserting black solar panel wire. Improper installation of these wires will damage the
opener’s control board.
NEVER USE THE SOLAR PANEL AND THE AC TRANSFORMER AT THE SAME TIME! It will damage the control
board and void your warranty.
