Merlin’s Swing LR 500 rural gate opener with solar kit

Smart fencing is no longer a futuristic ideal, it’s here, and Merlin’s Swing LR 500 Rural Gate Opener with Solar Kit is leading the charge.

Designed for rugged, off-grid use, this solar-powered system brings intelligent, reliable automation to rural and remote locations without the cost or hassle of mains power trenching. But for added flexibility, it also offers the option to plug into 240 V mains to recharge the battery when needed, a thoughtful inclusion that expands its real-world versatility.

The solar kit isn’t just efficient—it’s engineered for ease and adaptability. The 40 W solar panel comes with an adjustable mounting bracket that allows near 360-degree positioning, making it easy to optimise sun exposure.

The battery enclosure, rated IP65 for harsh environments, can be securely mounted on a post, wall, or even the ground. Clear LED indicators show battery status at a glance – charging, full, or flat – so users always know their system is ready to go.

With a peak pulling force of up to 1,500 Nm and compatibility with gates up to 5 m and 300 kg, the LR 500 is built tough, fast, and smart-opening at 2–3 seconds per metre. Its seamless integration with Merlin’s myQ smart-home system and memory capacity for up to 64 transmitters makes access smarter and more connected than ever.

For fencing professionals, the LR 500 slashes installation time and cost – no trenching, no electrical infrastructure, just solid performance straight out of the box.

Merlin’s solar gate system is more than just a product – it’s a smarter, cleaner, and more adaptable solution for today’s fencing needs.
