The engineering
staff at USAutomatic have announced the following product enhancements in 2007.
5/3 Year Warranty
All operator components including
actuators, solar panels, radio equipment and chargers will have warranty coverage for three years. The warranty for Patriot
control boards will continue to be five years.
6
- Watt Solar Panel
Our new solar panel with higher efficiency output will increase charging capabilites and provide better charging
on cloudy days and in partial shade conditions. This high efficiency PV unit, along with our efforts to utilize solar
friendly accessories will allow us to supply this panel with all solar gate operators eliminating the 10 - Watt panel
from dual gate operators. This panel change will still allow our
dual gate operator to provide more cycles per day than all other solar operators in the market.
Morningstar
Charge Controller
All solar charges operators will now include the Morningstar SunGuard charge controller. This will prevent over
charging, provide automatic reverse leakage protection and add Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which will extend battery life
and improve the charging performance of the solar panel.
New
900mA Charger
We will include a new 900 mA charger in all AC charged operators. This 5 - stage charger will continue to provide PWM
charging to extend battery life, diagnostic software and more than enough charging for any installation. The smaller
footprint will free up valuable space for accessories and reduce heat build up in the control box.
USAutomatic will continue to "Set the Standard" in 12vDC gate operators with quality equipment additions, enhanced
electronic capabilities and outstanding 24 Hour Customer Service (1-972-951-3000).
