All five models - LA412, RSW12V, RSL12V, CSW24V, and CSL24V - feature Battery Backup, an innovative control circuit that delivers power when needed most for gate operation while minimizing power consumption at all other times for best solar performance. Each offers exceptional standby time too – the efficient 12VDC control circuit draws less than 8 mA when idle. This keeps the system powered for days or weeks during cloudy days or inclement weather depending on daily cycle rate.

Please note that additional solar panels may be required depending on single or dual gate application, geographical location, number of cycles per day, and accessories used (*solar-friendly accessories recommended). Refer to the model's solar cycle chart for more details.
