Apache Low Voltage 24 Volt Flexible Articulated Arm Gate Operator
The oversized ALL METAL GEAR structure inside ensures a seamless operation without breakdowns or premature life unlike plastic and nylon gear sets. Also boasting a robust die-cast alloy case to encapsulate the gearing system all gears, motor and bearings are totally closed in and sealed from any outer elements. Built into the Alloy case we will also find the clever clutch release system (Emergency release) which is keyed to unlock for added security.
The unique Night Light system allows for illumination during operation and whilst the gates open adding a great guidance and a tidy aesthetic to the installation. To use this feature an additional cable (also low voltage) will be required between the gate controller and each Apache operator. With an easy to use (and secure) manual release system in place.
Operations are smooth and efficient using its 24 Volt DC motor driving the articulating arm clockwise/counter-clockwise. The end positions are set using the easiest possible method of adjustable limit stops. Limit stops are fitted to casted grooved positions to adjust both the maximum open and closed positions of the gate, being a mechanical system its a case of set and forget with no further adjustments being required. Typically the open and closed positions will not require and further stops unless higher wind loads are expected (cladded gates).
The Apache operator is 100% Universal Left and Right side meaning the same unit could be installed on EITHER side of the driveway. The Apache is able to be installed with just a 40mm clear height available making it an easy choice when it comes to ground clearance, the Apache requires 450mm clear area from the edge of the driveway when the gate is open at 90° which makes it suited for the majority of installations where the gate is spaced away from neighboring feces and retaining walls.
NO NEED FOR GATE STOPS, the on-body limit stops are totally adjustable in there positioning for both the open and closed positions. The connection for cable join between the Apache and the gate controller is made underneath the plastic cover and the wall/post/pillar mounting bracket allows for a conduit directly into the operator if desired.

Battery System
Supplied with an external Dual DEEP CYCLE battery system 24V 15aH system as standard in a SLIMLINE Waterproof and Dust Proof Rated Enclosure (IP67 Cable Gland Supplied), there are a total of THREE battery capacity options available.
Option 1 (Premier 24-15B): The 15aH Deep Cycle setup allow for up to a two and a half weeks of usage without any charge from the solar panel in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days (whilst factoring in standby power), this is the ideal choice for areas that may see a consistent week of poor weather poor weather through winter without sunlight. This is great choice VIC, NSW, SA, ACT, TAS, QLD, NT and WA.
Option 2 (Premier 24-22B): The 22aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over three weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support Light commercial usage.
Option 3 (Premier 24-26B): The 26aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over four weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support Medium commercial usage of 10-15 operations per day for a period of approx. 2 weeks.
Option 4 (Premier 24-55B): The 55aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over eight to nine weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support higher duty commercial usage of 60 operations per day for a period of approx. 1 weeks. It should be considered in these applications to upgrade the solar panel option to 180 Watts.
The allowances are general in nature and typically factor for a continuous period taking into account overcast and other poor weather conditions along with wet seasons that will contribute to a no charge/minimal charge result from the solar system. These allowances do not take into account shade on the solar panel which will effect the overall charging.
These allowances DO NOT take into account WiFi and Bluetooth Modules, as system consumption will increase using one of these devices Always use the next option up from requirement.
