Nice work

[@Knottsqmw]

Thank you. Very easy process .

[@j.c9909]

Best video iv seen on this thank you did you use onther part on the end of the wire so it wont hang ?

[@Knottsqmw]

Are you referring to the wire coming from the house to the control box, or the wire I put on the gate?

[@Wheelo40]

Great video thank you! Does this model hook up to wifi?

[@Knottsqmw]

Thank you! Yes you can hook it to Wi-Fi with an adapter (extra cost) and use your phone .

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.

[@Knottsqmw]

Honestly I’m not 100% sure, I will look at mine again

[@HWPcville]

@@Knottsqmw Tks!

[@gomez619]

why does it need a battery if you plug in directly to an electrical outlet???

[@Knottsqmw]

I thought the same thing, but it has to have a 12 volt supply for the computer board to power on.

[@gomez619]

@@Knottsqmw So you do need both? thanks

[@magssaddler2626]

It also keeps the battery charged so that in the event of a power outage you can still open and close the gate

[@LuisMartinez-tf4vm]

How did you get that feature to slow down when it opens and closes

[@Knottsqmw]

It actually automatically does it off of the parameters you set in box.

[@spidersden]

Which dip switch(es) controll the soft start/stop?

[@aliciagriffin7667]

I can get to closed but I can’t set the open!!!

[@trevorroop]

Whats the 2 extra holes for in the arm side?

[@Knottsqmw]

I believe for different angles depending on how your gate is set up

[@findmethe90s]

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 !

[@Knottsqmw]

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

[@findmethe90s]

@@Knottsqmw haha cool thanks!

[@toleman2039]

No

[@michaelmitchell7682]

@@toleman2039so is your no to say that you can wire directly to the outlet using the supplied transformer?

[@lorenarealsalazar9884]

I need your help. I did all the installation but mine will not work. can you help me .

[@Knottsqmw]

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?

[@lorenarealsalazar9884]

I don't have the battery hook on . is this why?

[@Knottsqmw]

You have to have a battery on it .

[@jonicampbell541]

Tractor supply told me doesn’t need electric hooked up - just battery? Gate to far from house

[@Knottsqmw]

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

[@MrTaylorfenoglio]

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.

[@gadgetbuster69]

Sounds like you live close to a dirt track.

[@Knottsqmw]

Asphalt, but yes less than 1/2 mile
