How does ECOSOL work?When a BFT 24VDC Gate Automation Solution is connectedto a solar panel, the most important factor beyond reliability is to consume the least amount of power both during the gate operation and in standby mode, while keeping the necessary safety devices and functions activated. BFT has managed to achieve both these goals with the development of the revolutionary ECOSOL board. Revolutionary Technology - ECOSOL Board:The BFT Ecosol System has been designed with enhanced technology that puts the BFT Control Board to sleep when not in use for more than 5 minutes. This provides for an optimized system that allows for minimal power consumption from the batteries throughout the day. The result is an ultra efficient system that will provide optimized results even in geographical areas that are not in bright sunlight every day. The ECOSOL control board can be woken up by an impulse of a BFT Mitto remote control device, BFT T-Box radio digital keypad, BFT wall radio switch, wired keypad or a loop detector to open the gate.
BFT 24V DC Operators: BFT operators draw minimal power when activating a gate; for example, a Phobos BT 24VDC electromechanical linear arm, or an Igea BT 24VDC articulated arm for swinging gate applications consume a maximum of 40 watts for gates up to 250 kgs. A Deimos BT24VDC for rack & pinion sliding only a maximum of 70 watts for gates up to 550 kgs.
Solar Panel:New Phobos BT operators have been designed specifically for ECOSOL. Speed for opening 90 degrees with standard geometry and full batteries: ECOSOL Phobos BT: 14 seconds, ECOSOL Phobos BT L: 19 seconds, ECOSOL Igea BT: 15 seconds. A highly efficient small in size 10W, 24V solar panel is supplied by BFT to quickly charge the batteries. For higher traffic or low sun exposure, it is an option to add a set of larger capacity batteries and/or one or two extra solar panels. The panel can be wall mounted or post mounted (optional bracket necessary).
1.An ECOSOL control box with a handle and rapid connectors, including 2-7.2Amp/h batteries (a secondbattery box can be added for increased capacity in lowsun exposure areas)
2.An ECOSOL 12” x 14” pre-wired enclosure with LibraUL/CSA control panel, including 2-9Amp/h batteries(2 additional 9Amp/h batteries can be connected andadded inside the enclosure for increased capacity in lowsun exposure areas) All BFT ECOSOL kits, slide or swing, single or dual operators come in only two boxes including necessary installation accessories.
Number of Cycles* ( Cycle = 1 operation ) ECOSOL has been designed for residential or low traffic applications. • 10 cycles per day – 21 days without sun • Up to 3 10W BFT ECOSOL solar panels can be connected to one ECOSOL board • Choice of 2 or 4 x 7.2 Amp/h (standard on ECOSOL Interface box) or2 or 4 9 Amp/h (standard on ECOSOL Libra UL/CSA enclosure)batteries for greater capacity • 30+ cycles per day in optimum conditions
* Note: Based on one Single Phobos BT operator with FL 130B Photocells. Conditions may vary from installation to installation and alternative results may occur dependenton environmental conditions and geographical position
