The Nice Apollo O-A310-SLR-BL is a single solar swing gate opener bundle built around the Apollo 816-1 linear actuator arm and the Mercury 310 UL 325 residential smart control board platform. It is commonly used for one compatible swing gate leaf on residential, farm, ranch, estate, and select light commercial gate applications where AC power is not practical or where a solar-charged gate operator layout is preferred.
This bundle is commonly listed with the 816-1 actuator arm, 10-watt solar panel with mounting bracket, OXIBD/A 4-channel 433 MHz plug-in receiver, ON2E/A Era One 2-channel transmitter with visor clip, Mercury 310 control board, and SolarBOX310 black powder-coated steel controller box with lid. Always verify current package contents before publishing or ordering because battery, charger, transformer, keypad, exit device, antenna, additional photo eyes, safety edges, and mounting accessories may vary by supplier package.
The O-A310-SLR-BL automates one compatible swing gate leaf using the 816-1 linear actuator. The actuator provides the push-pull gate movement, while the Mercury 310 controller manages system logic, receiver input, monitored safety-device handling, BlueBUS accessories, battery health monitoring, solar charging behavior, and single-gate operation when installed and programmed correctly.
The Nice Apollo O-A310-SLR-BL may be used with select single swing gate installations that match the 816-1 actuator geometry, Mercury 310 control platform, solar power plan, gate condition, and safety-device requirements. Confirm the full site layout before ordering.
Do not select the O-A310-SLR-BL by gate length or weight alone. The gate must swing freely by hand, have sound hinges, proper stops, a solid post structure, and correct actuator geometry. A gate that drags, sags, binds, flexes, or hits a hard stop can overload the actuator and damage the system.
This is a single swing gate solar bundle. It should not be treated as a complete dual gate system. Dual swing gate applications require the correct dual bundle, secondary actuator, longer secondary cable, wiring layout, programming, battery sizing, and monitored safety-device layout.
Confirm the power package before sale. This bundle commonly includes a 10-watt solar panel with mounting bracket, but do not assume the battery, battery box accessories, AC charger, transformer, or upgraded solar equipment are included unless current stock confirms them. Solar installations must be sized around cycle count, shade, accessory load, battery capacity, and local sunlight.
Current O-A310-SLR-BL listing data commonly references up to 16 ft and up to 800 lb, while some related Apollo 816 bundle references use a 600 lb maximum gate weight. Treat this as a rating item to verify before publishing. For customer-facing safety, confirm the exact current Nice documentation, the actuator package, and the site conditions before making a final capacity claim.

The O-A310-SLR-BL is the solar version of the Apollo 310 single swing gate opener bundle using the 816-1 actuator and Mercury 310 control board. It should not be confused with an actuator-only replacement or the non-solar O-A310-BL bundle.
The most important field check is the power plan. A 10-watt panel may be appropriate for some light-duty residential or farm gate layouts, but heavy use, shade, long accessory standby loads, keypads, intercoms, loop detectors, and winter sunlight conditions can require a larger battery or different charging setup. Confirm the full site load before selling the kit.
The Nice Apollo O-A310-SLR-BL should be installed by a qualified gate operator technician. Proper actuator geometry, bracket placement, gate stops, wiring, battery and solar charging setup, monitored safety input wiring, BlueBUS device setup, and Mercury 310 programming are critical for safe operation. Do not bypass monitored safety inputs, photo eyes, safety edges, emergency access, or fire access devices to make the gate run.
For South Florida customers, Gate Openers Unlimited may be able to assist with availability and Hialeah Gardens local pickup when appropriate. Bring the gate size, gate weight estimate, hinge-post photos, control-box location, sunlight exposure details, accessory list, and existing operator model information if matching a replacement system locally.
Swing gate operators involve moving-gate hazards, battery power, solar charging, low-voltage controls, accessory wiring, monitored safety devices, and required entrapment protection. If the site has unsafe wiring, unclear Mercury 310 faults, missing safety devices, a dragging gate, storm damage, lightning damage, heavy shade, or an unknown previous installation, have the system inspected by a qualified gate technician before installation or replacement.
The O-A310-SLR-BL is a Nice Apollo single solar swing gate opener bundle using the 816-1 primary actuator arm and Mercury 310 residential smart control board platform.
Common listings show the 816-1 actuator arm, 10-watt solar panel with mounting bracket, OXIBD/A 4-channel 433 MHz plug-in receiver, ON2E/A Era One transmitter, Mercury 310 control board, and SolarBOX310 control box. Confirm current package contents before ordering.
Current O-A310-SLR-BL listings commonly reference single swing gates up to 16 ft and up to 800 lb when the gate is properly built, hinged, balanced, and installed with correct actuator geometry. Verify the final rating against current Nice documentation before publishing.
The O-A310-SLR-BL is the single swing gate solar bundle. Dual swing gate applications require the correct dual bundle or a verified secondary actuator, wiring, programming, and safety-device layout.
Do not assume a battery is included. The bundle is commonly listed with a 10-watt solar panel and SolarBOX310 control box, but the battery and charging accessories must be confirmed with current supplier stock.
No. O-A310-SLR-BL is the solar bundle commonly listed with a 10-watt solar panel. O-A310-BL is a related Apollo 310 single swing bundle without the same solar package wording.
Yes, the 816-1 actuator system may be used in push-to-open or pull-to-open applications when the correct brackets, actuator geometry, gate stops, and programming are used.
Check gate length, gate weight, hinge condition, swing path, push-to-open or pull-to-open layout, solar exposure, battery needs, accessory load, receiver accessories, monitored safety devices, and local code requirements before ordering.
