Homemade cellular Hog Gate explained

[@saltydawg8988]

Cheap and simple! Awesome video brother. Getting ready to build one of these.

[@1985riverrat]

That’s awesome man. Appreciate all the information you put out.

[@marlind.odermatt8108]

We want to see it close! LOL- nice set up APT

[@clintj2010cj]

Caught 31 right there

[@leilu9431]

What kind of SIM card service it needs? Internet, phone calls, text, I am trying to minimize the cost without having extra?

[@djcrash1104]

I bought one of these openers and I’m having trouble setting it up. Do you have a good video of the programming? There are a bunch of them on KZbin but I can’t understand what they are saying…

[@trevorturk7473]

How did you get the sim activated. ATT and Tracfone both said they won’t do it for the RTU

[@ourbrother8565]

What kind of door popper did you use? And 30/40 car relay?

[@michaelsawyer7029]

I have Verizon, I want to build this, ty so much for this video, would I need a Verizon SIM card?

[@virgiltonasket1491]

Can you show how you wired it all together.

[@tcwaterdrill]

Covote 1, great info here, thanks. looking on E-bay a see a lots of the RTU5024 GSM Gate Opener for sale but they do not say if they are 4G or 3G. Does the 4G have another number other than 5024 or is it just the sim card that you buy? I do not understand 3G or 4G thanks. Please help.

[@papajonn87]

Thanks for the post bru

Does your door popper trip your relay a lot? I used a 30amp inline fuse and it seems every two gate sets it pops the fuse

[@josecompean5623]

I had to use a 40 amp fuse and it stoped popping

[@KKITTRELLKEV]

Wht are the numbers on the relay I can’t read they aren’t clear?

[@colbyaugustine3767]

Hello I’m having a hard time getting the gsm part to work any advice?

[@clintj2010cj]

Make sure you have signal for the setup

[@genarovallejo1986]

Hi where I can get the SIM card?

[@davidmass2016]

What at&t prepaid plan do you use for $100 a year?

[@clintj2010cj]

$25 for 3 months

[@murkman1656]

Whats the point of the relay? Isnt the cellular device a relay?

[@hughroughley3363]

It's the same as using a relay in your car to control driving lights, etc. The control unit only has a small amount of current, so you use that output to activate the relay (think of it as an electrical switch) to allow high current to flow from battery directly to the actuator (door popper). You are using small current to electrically control bigger current. The control unit would not be wired to handle 30/40 amp current draw of the door popper. It's circuit protection and reliability.

[@hughroughley3363]

Also to have a control unit capable of handling 30/40 amps would cost a lot more than the unit this guy is using.

[@hughroughley3363]

Unit has small current output. So you use a small output to control a larger current via relay. Also protects control unit from massive current draw and burning out if there is a malfunction with a seperate component of the system.

[@hughroughley3363]

Current output and device protection

[@murkman1656]

Dude we needthe wiring diagram

[@clintj2010cj]

I made a video on the wiring

[@aarongaytan7382]

Need wiring diagram

[@hughroughley3363]

12v goes into control unit. Outputs of unit are NO, COM, NC. This means that COM =Earth or negative, NO = Switch is off until activated. NC = Switch is on and then turns off when activated. So you want 12v power into unit, output would be: Negative (COM) to Pin 85 of relay, Positive (NO) to Pin 86 of relay, Battery 12v positive to a 40 amp fuse then to Pin 87 of relay, Relay Pin 30 to positive wire on door popper, Battery negative to negative wire on door popper. You are using a small electrical input to control a larger electrical current via the relay. Clear as mud? 😂 Hope it helps

[@codygibson1097]

Coyote 1 I have the RTU 5024 and I have trouble setting it up with the cellular part. I was wondering if you would be able to assist me by phone number or email some way?

[@clintj2010cj]

If you have Facebook, message my page and I will see if I can get you setup

[@drewskimangham2018]

Hey buddy can you tell me what relays those are??

[@clintj2010cj]

@@drewskimangham2018 the GSM is an rtu 5024 3g, the solenoid relay is an automotive 30 Amp relay harness
