• for photovoltaic power supply (with pannel)
Graphs A, B and C indicate the solar power available, on the basis
of the location's latitude, at all times of the calendar year. The graph
curve is generated taking into account the quantity of daylight re-
corded at a specific latitude within a year.
To obtain the maximum possible number of cycles per day, proceed
as follows:
01. On graph A, B or C (depending on the latitude of your system)
identify the period of the year concerned, then locate value "Cb" on
the vertical axis, corresponding to this period, as shown in the exam-
ple in the graph.
02. Then use value "Cb" to make the calculations as stated in next
chapter.
GRAPH A - For countries 45° NORTH of the Equator
GRAPH C - For countries on the Equator
Calculate the maximum number of cycles per day that the automation
system can perform:
01. In graphs A, B or C (section 3.1), find the "coefficient basis (Cb)"
of the desired period of the year.
02. Depending on the type of automatic system installed and the
level of stand-by programmed, find in Table 1 the value "B": add this
value to the value "B" of any installed accessories.
03. Subtract "B" from "Cb" to obtain the value "Y" (Y = Cb - B).
04. Depending on the type of automatic system installed and the
weight of the door of the gate, find in Table 2 the value "K": add this
value to the value "K" of any installed accessories.
05. Find the value "s": s = duration of a full cycle (Opening + Closing)
of its automation system, measured in seconds.

WARNING!
– During the day, if the photovoltaic panel remains in the
shade for a certain period of the day (in particular from 10 am
to 2 pm) the maximum possible number of operating cycles
decreases in proportion to the hours without panel exposure
to sunlight.
– To increase the maximum possible number of cycles per day,
automation consumption must be reduced. For this reason,
the "power saving mode" function must be programmed
on the automation control units, (refer to the automation
instruction manual).
• for mains power supply (with GO POWER)
The battery must be recharged via the mains in a protected environ-
ment, previously detaching the solar panel and the automation.

06. Multiply "K" and "s" to get the value "Ks" (Ks = K x s).
07. Locate on the graph of Figure 1 the curve corresponding to the
value "Ks" just calculated. For intermediate values you must draw
intermediate curves.
08. Starting from the value "Y" calculated above, draw a vertical line
that intersects the curve of the value "Ks".
09. From this point, draw a horizontal line that intersects the line of
the cycles/day values . The result is the maximum number of cycles
per day that the automatic system can perform.
CAUTION! - To obtain maximum efficiency from the GoGreen
system, you must programme the automation control unit
with the "Stand-By" function. For details, refer to the control
unit instruction manual.
