Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to run an electric automatic door?
Electric doors consume less than 1 watt when idle and only 3-7 watts when operating (30-45 seconds twice daily). At average US electricity rates ($0.12/kWh), this costs under $1 per year to operate 24/7.
What happens if the power goes out?
With an optional 12V 5Ah backup battery installed, your door will continue operating for 5+ days during power outages. The built-in battery charger automatically recharges when power is restored.
Can I use an extension cord?
Yes. Use an outdoor-rated extension cord appropriate for your distance. Since power consumption is under 1 watt, even long extension cords work without voltage drop concerns.
Can I convert to solar later?
Yes. All electric doors can be upgraded to solar operation by adding a solar panel module and 12V battery. Simply unplug from AC outlet and connect solar components.
Do electric doors work in extreme temperatures?
Yes. Electronic components are rated from -20°F to 185°F. The digital electronics eliminate frozen mechanical timers that plague other systems in cold weather.
