This is Gemini's 24V smart solar gate motor kit: the Gemini Slider 800 with an 80W solar panel and Gemini's 24V solar adaptor board, for gates up to 800kg at complexes, estates, businesses and light industrial sites. It is rated for 400 openings a day at up to 23 m/min, runs on two 12V 8Ah batteries, and comes with the Gemlink Smart device fitted inside the motor for phone control. Use it on solar alone, or connect mains as well and it works as a hybrid.
Which kit do you need?
- Basic kit: Slider 800 motor with Gemlink Smart fitted, 80W solar panel, 24V solar adaptor board, 2 x 12V 8Ah batteries, 2 Gemini 3-button remotes, 50ml gearbox oil and the base plate. For a gate that already has a rack in good condition.
- Kit with anti-theft bracket: everything in the basic kit, plus the Gemini anti-theft bracket. It is 5mm electroplated steel, makes the motor harder to take by force and guards the red release lever.
- Full kit with anti-theft bracket and steel rack: everything in the bracket kit, plus 4m of Gemini steel rack (2 x 2m). Everything for a gate that has no rack yet, apart from the solar cables.
How the solar kit works
The 24V solar adaptor board plugs into the solar connection on the Slider 800's power supply, and the panel wires go straight to the adaptor board. The power supply then runs in hybrid mode, charging the two batteries from 220V mains when it is there and from the panel. Where there is no mains at the gate, the 80W panel keeps the 24V battery bank charged on its own. Mount the panel facing north, in full sun for most of the day.
Solar cables are not in the kit. You need a red and a black cable long enough to reach from the panel to the motor, plus an MC4 connector set.
Gemlink Smart included
The Gemlink Smart device connects over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In the free Gemlink app you get live gate status, light control, access logs and smartphone control, and you can share access with up to 30 users without paying for a plan. For remote access away from the gate, the Gemlink needs Wi-Fi at the gate.
Built for gates that work all day
With 33 kgf starting pull, 18 kgf rated pull and a 23:1 oil-filled gearbox, the Slider 800 is made for heavy gates that open all day. Obstruction sensing is electronically adjustable and works in both directions, with an input for infrared safety beams. For a home gate up to 500kg, the Gemini Slider 500 solar gate motor kit or the Slider 500+ 12Ah solar kit is the better fit. On mains only? The Gemini 24V smart gate motor kit (Slider 800) is the same motor without the panel.
