Carlsbad, Calif., (February 15, 2010) -- Linear LLC is offering three new solar compatible accessories to complement its line of DC and solar gate operators, the company announced today. The products are available immediately.

“With the ever increasing attention being paid to alternative energy, Linear is bringing more solar options to deliver lower power consumption to its line of DC and solarpowered gate operators,” said Mark Mattson, product line manager. The new accessories include:

• 2500-2346-LP - This low-power version of Linear’s existing “plug in style” loop detector draws 80 percent less power.

• 2500-2508 - This single piece probe detector or “exit wand” with adjustable sensitivity is ideal for solar applications with a very low power draw of just 1.5 mA.

• 2500-2509 - This wiring harness enables non-plug loop detectors to be used on the Linear APeX gate controller plug-in loop detector positions. It also enables the power and wake up signals of the reversing loop plug-in to be used in sleep mode applications.

Linear also reminds its dealers that Linear solar powered gate operator systems qualify for the Federal Tax homeowners credit equal to 30 percent off the installed cost of their system.
