How to install a gate operator/motor

[@mikelsbug817]

I struggled trying to find a video that actually showed how to hook up the wiring the electrical to these Gates. Thank you!!

[@realdealGod]

Awesome. Glad I could help

We are required to replace our gate operator by the fire marshal. This is exactly the new gate operator, Liftmaster CSL24UL, that we are going to install. So this video is so very helpful. Thanks very much!

[@realdealGod]

You're welcome. Glad this helped

Love the video dude just a bit confused, I think the polarity doesn’t matter on the white and green for the photo eyes. It does matter on the red and black since one is a negative and one a positive

[@realdealGod]

Thank you @Drkrjamon018 So in my case I used the green and white for power and the black and red wires were for signal. I can’t remember why I did it like that but I’m pretty sure I had a reason. That’s why polarity didn’t matter for the red and white on the eyes. But the white and green wires it did matter because those were my power.

Learned alot from this video especially I need to make sure I run enough conduit before poring the cement for my gate and opener. Thank you

[@realdealGod]

Yes. Definitely make sure you run enough conduit before pouring the concrete. I would rather have conduit left over for future ideas.

great video I had one question on the Knox box do you get that from your local fire department?

[@realdealGod]

You order the knox box from: www.knoxbox.com/Products When you are ordering it, it will ask you for information from you local fire department.

Ethernet cable? What year is this? I just bought a liftmaster gate operator and it has MyQ which is wireless. I can even operate my gate from the internet. Shoot I've opened my garage door from 1500 miles away so I know myQ works.

I need to connect power to the motor I don’t know where on the motor and how many wires to give it power can you help me out please 🙏

[@realdealGod]

Hey, of course. The power is connected to the metal box with the wires inside. You will need 3 wires. A black, white, and green. Do you have the same model as the one in the video?

[@trulyaktive4796]

From the picture the client sent over it looks like the same model , the motor says “elite” but I’m sure it’s a liftmaster. One more question is it possible to connect solar panels to the battery so I won’t have to run wires from the power source ? Electricians can be a bit pricey and solar panels might be the best option for my customer

[@realdealGod]

I didn’t connect solar panels to mine but yes, you can connect solar panels to the operator.
