PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Apollo 3501ETL Single Opener is a practical system that allows for easy installation. With the DIYGateOpeners.com additions, a 5' long, 4'x4' steel post with the mounting plate pre-mounted on top, the customer saves the time and money necessary in finding a welder for installation. Similarly, because this opener uses a low voltage charge, it is unnecessary to run 110AC to the gate. Also, the low voltage design allows the customer to use a household outlet within 1,000 ft. of the operator by running a 14-guage low voltage wire between the two. For customers who are eco-friendly, or who wish to save on electrical bills, it is also possible to use a solar panel to charge the battery with the same wire. The Apollo 3501ETL's large-sized NEMA 3R control box can hold a larger battery than many other units. This means the unit has the capacity for extra power storage with a deep cycle marine battery (not included), providing enough energy for up to 300 cycles, or approximately 30 days before the necessary recharge.
In addition to the Apollo 3501ETL's low voltage convenience and eco-friendly options, the unit is durable and well-designed. The opener uses the sophisticated 800 series control board, and has a new arm design that eliminates major pinch points. Likewise, because of its stable design, this model can handle continuous operation, perfect for commercial or residential use. Also, since it is a compact unit, it has a low profile to provide for visual appeal and functionality. Finally, this system is ETL approved.

| Solar Panel Zone Map
The colors on this map designate solar zones during the periods of the year when the least amount of sun light is available. The
recommended cycles do not factor the power draw of accessories. Cycles are considered one full opening and closing movement of a
maximum size/weight gate for the corresponding opener. Cycles are also figured to be proportionally distributed over a 12 to 14 hour
period; not consecutive.
