What we see on Apollo gates in Argyle

Apollo, now part of Nice, built the 1550 and 1650 as 12 volt DC openers, and on Argyle acreage they are typically solar powered because the gate is too far from the meter for mains. Apollo sizes solar panel wattage to the daily cycle count and says dual gates need double the panel. When a property adds a second leaf, more trips, or a tree grows over the panel, the battery falls behind and the gate stops a few feet into travel.

We test battery voltage while the gate runs, since Apollo wants 12 to 14 volts under load, then check the panel, the board and the actuators. Long 816 cables matter here: Apollo advises against splicing them and offers longer lengths, and a spliced cable on a wide double gate causes intermittent faults. Worn actuators can be replaced with a TITAN 12L on the same mounting. We see this on properties in Harvest and off Crawford Road.

Apollo gate repair in Argyle: questions

Our solar Apollo gate in Argyle works in summer and fails in winter. Why?

Shorter winter days and a low sun give the panel less to collect, so a system that just kept up in summer falls behind. A battery that has aged in the heat makes it worse. We test the battery under load, check panel wattage against your cycle count, and look for shade from trees that has grown since installation.

Can a horse or deer set off the safety sensors on my Apollo gate?

Yes, an animal in the beam reads as an obstruction, and one that rubs a post can knock a photo eye out of line. That is a safety device doing its job. We reposition or protect the sensors so they still guard people and vehicles but are less likely to be disturbed.
