Viking G5s Dual Solar Swing Gate Operator Kit

Dual Solar Swing Gate Operator Kit for Residential Entrances

The Viking G5s dual solar swing gate kit is a Class I solution designed to run two swing gate motors in tandem using one Primary/Secondary (dual) electronic control unit. The dual ECU uses a primary VFlex control board plus a secondary module, both required to operate two gate motors together. This kit includes two operator arms and one controller, with the same core platform specs as the single system.

Solar panels and batteries are sold separately, and a monitored photoeye (monitored entrapment sensor) is required for operation.

Key Features

• Dual-gate capable ECU built to run two motors in tandem (primary board plus secondary module required).
• Solar-ready 12VDC platform for off-grid residential swing gate installations.
• Monitored safety required: minimum of one monitored external entrapment sensor must be connected to the UL or Re-Open terminal.
• Designed for efficient solar operation with power management and sleep mode features for reduced standby draw.
• LCD diagnostics display real-time solar panel, charging, and battery voltages for troubleshooting.

Conclusion

If you are securing a residential dual-swing entrance without access to AC power, the Viking G5s dual solar kit provides two operator arms driven by a single dual ECU built specifically for tandem motor control. Plan the system correctly from day one: solar panel and battery are not included, and at least one monitored photoeye (or monitored entrapment sensor) is required for the operator to run safely and as intended.
