will the operator work just on ac power or does it need abattery

Doesn't need a battery, will run standalone on AC. On a side note we love ours, still going perfectly.

The gate opener works very well on AC voltage alone. The use of a back-up battery is useful if one lives in an area of frequent power outages.James B.

It works on 120 volt A/C power without a battery. I understand you can add a battery as backup in case of power loss but I have not done so with mine. My unit has been in operation since August '13 without any problems, operating an 11-1/2 foot chain link gate. I love not having to rely on battery power.

Auto use only i'd say based on size, 12 volt power requirement and output design.

I run an APC line conditioner into it. It seems to smooth out the last glitches in the pretty terrible power in my area. It preforms admirably when called upon.

Yes it is. It has to be calibrated (instruction s includede) and will operate 2 AC and 2 furnace s. If you have 5 button unit already you can use this. If you have more or less buttons you don't want this. If your looking at new install you don't want it either.

Not required, even if hooked up to a generator instead of city/county power. My refrigerator and freezer work fine as well as some battery chargers I had running off the dirty output of a poorly regulating generator but the UPS kept flickering on and off so I had to unplug it.

It is powered by the USB port on your computer. There is no AC connection to worry about.

If you want to use it as a repeater only, or if you can run an ethernet cable from your internet gateway to the device. You will need AC power unless you can connect an ethernet cable from a POI device and use the POI accessories. That would likely be above the skill level of the average home user.

I power my pavers with 12V AC (transformer), however DC would be okay as well.

No. It's powered by a small AC to DC adaptor. You do need to factor that into the installation.

The operating voltage is 12v ac/dc only with less than 500ma draw.The controlling load is rated 220v 5 amp.

I did not know technical aspect but my electrician does and for my needs this was the unit to purchase. I wanted to run 3 major appliances at once plus lights and tv's. With this unit hooked up to my circuit breaker. I will be able to run everything just not all at once. I am feeling more relaxed and hope I do not need to use it. Hope this helps.

No, you have to connect it to your battery or a/c. You can use the 12 volts that runs the system.

Transformer has a 9vac output not DC it would be may be easier to just buy a UPS to power it

I run mine thru my inverter so that it will work when I am unplugged from shore power. Good luck
