I needed to see how you set the close limit and then cycled the gate open and closed 4 times per the instructions, because it doesn't say to program the remote yet and I'm having problems with this step of setup.
@Knottsqmw Thanks for the reply, I ended up resetting the control board and starting over with the close limit setting and save, then imediatly programing the remote push button using the S3 button. Then the control remote worked to operate and cycle the gate.
Would you know where the serial number is located on the arm? I have the lighter weight unit but would think the serial number would be located in the same area. I can't find the serial# on mine for warranty purposes. Thanks.
That is correct. In my case, you can’t just have electric hooked up . You have to have a 12 volt supply . I thought I could just wire it into my house directly, but ended up still needing a battery supply to make it function
Correct but you need a way to charge the battery. So either plugged into an outlet or a solar charger. It has an on board solar controller so all you would need is the solar panel sold separately. I'm pretty sure you can buy a cheap one from harbor freight vs paying $120 for one.
Sure I commented on your other post. You must have a battery hooked up. It can be a small 12v battery or a large one , are you hookup up to a AC power source 120v with the transformer?
Hello, just rang that bell.. Nice work here. So the unit also needs a battery correct? The transformer is to charge and maintain the battery and the supplied butt connectors on the wire go to a non supplied 12 volt battery, is that right??? thanks again !
I can’t wait to get mine installed! My alpacas will love it!
Very nice

Let me see if I still have that info

Nice work
Thank you. Very easy process .
Best video iv seen on this thank you did you use onther part on the end of the wire so it wont hang ?
Are you referring to the wire coming from the house to the control box, or the wire I put on the gate?
Great video thank you! Does this model hook up to wifi?
Thank you! Yes you can hook it to Wi-Fi with an adapter (extra cost) and use your phone .
why does it need a battery if you plug in directly to an electrical outlet???
I thought the same thing, but it has to have a 12 volt supply for the computer board to power on.
@@Knottsqmw So you do need both? thanks
It also keeps the battery charged so that in the event of a power outage you can still open and close the gate

Honestly I’m not 100% sure, I will look at mine again
@@Knottsqmw Tks!
Whats the 2 extra holes for in the arm side?
I believe for different angles depending on how your gate is set up
Tractor supply told me doesn’t need electric hooked up - just battery? Gate to far from house

I need your help. I did all the installation but mine will not work. can you help me .
Sure I commented on your other post. You must have a battery hooked up. It can be a small 12v battery or a large one , are you hookup up to a AC power source 120v with the transformer?
I don't have the battery hook on . is this why?
You have to have a battery on it .

Yes I believe so . Been a while since I did it I would have to watch video again to remember, but it’s something like that lol
@@Knottsqmw haha cool thanks!
No
@@toleman2039so is your no to say that you can wire directly to the outlet using the supplied transformer?
How did you get that feature to slow down when it opens and closes
It actually automatically does it off of the parameters you set in box.
Which dip switch(es) controll the soft start/stop?
I can get to closed but I can’t set the open!!!
Sounds like you live close to a dirt track.
Asphalt, but yes less than 1/2 mile
