FIRST CLASS install! Great suggestion to increase wire size due to length and potential voltage drop given the distance the controller is from the operators! Keep up the good work! THANK YOU!
Great job! As a 40 year electrician and contractor I appreciate the excellent workmanship and professional looking installation! Keep that going and you’ll be very successful I have no doubt!
Great video finally I have an idea how to wire my gate operator, which is sitting in the box for last two years😂
enjoyed this video, thank you sir
Great job!
Wish I had mounted controller in different location. Looks good!
very informative
Damn you did a great job with all the electrical plumbing.
I appreciate your feedback! Thank you for watching 💡
clean!
Do you have set up(wiring) the maglock to LA 500 control board?
How you program the primary and secondary actuators to work at the same time?
Great video. I’m attempting the same thing, however I can’t get the arm to manually unlock to mount it to the gate(prior to termination) Any ideas on getting that pin to move so I can mount it to the gate?
Can I use this swing machine to make foldable pool cover but of course without using the photocell??
Can you operate gate #1 and gate #2 independently?
Any issues with the remote range with the controller in the garage?
Great Job! Can I ask you, how long is the bracket you had to custom make?
1) More specifically, how far past the "hinge" did the bracket go? Distance from Hinge to hole for actuator?
2) What was the distance from about the centre of the hinge to the inside of the bracket?
Do you have the specs? I am in a jam right now...and I'm trying to make my gate a push-to-open as well.
Ghost controls gate comes with everything to be install and their pricing is really good.
Ghost Controls is one of worst operators on the market next to mighty mule. The brackets Ghost Controls provides are just as cheap and flimsy.
Can the motor be works without the photo eye protector? I try to install myself and the terminal from photo eye keep blinking on is that because the photo eye is not connected?
how long was that new bracket you made on the post? i have a similar situation. and what size is the hole you drilled for it?
The original was 9 inches long. We welded a 4" extension which gave us a new length of 13". The holes were already pre-drilled by the manufacture to 5/8" diameter. Thank you for watching!
Where does the low voltage wire go
Great job guys. I noticed the LiftMaster 500 only handles a gate up to 13 feet if you have a 15 foot gate that weighs under 200 pounds would you still be able to use it instead of a two arm system? Also when the gates closes… How does the gate lock down, so nobody can push the gate open….or is there a separate locking system?
You can add accessories like a magnetic lock or an electric latch...
Should have used a proper outdoor rated J box and made it properly weather resistant. And should have use ferrules for the control wires into the control box...
Great video! Where and what kind of battery backup is used with the LA500? I can't seem to find it.. Thanks
Inside the control box behind the control board there is (2) 12volt 7ah batteries. Those two batteries power the system when the power goes out or of the system is solar powered. A brand new kit will come with batteries, but if new ones are needed you can find them for cheap at Home Depot in the emergency lighting section.
Rats and mice love chewing on exposed wire, so to be safe, run all exterior wires inside flexible conduit.
Our fire department requires a Red emergency activation strobe light, I am using a csl24ul slide gate
these are the requirements,
1.
All motorized gates must also be equipped with one flasher unit and one external lamp
assembly with a red globe and guard to be mounted.
2.
The light shall be visible from both sides of the gate, be mounted at the top of the fence
within two (2) feet of the gate opening and flash upon the gate being activated by the MFD
Opticom™ compatible receiver platform system or Knox® Key Switch 3502 (mechanical key
type).
3.
The strobe shall continue to flash as long as the gate is being held open by the emergency
access system.
Will you let me know how to connect the strobe light to the control board,
Best regards,
John Chacko
Everything looks very professional minus those hinges on the gate
I agree, non greasable, non adjustable hinges which I hear squeaking already. I replace a lot of these style hinges up here in Alberta because of frost issues heaving posts not installed below frost level.
@@idiotradar1 whats the best style hinge for a wooden gate?
@@dack4dust856 Wood or metal posts, what size is the gate, what material is the gate frame (size) how heavy is the gate
LOL he installed the photoeye wrong. It comes with a bracket to mount the photo-eye too. What he did was using the cover which that hole he used that screw through. Is the place the screw goes into to hold cover onto the photo-eye. The way he mounted it you can't make adjustments. Also less secure and if the photo-eye doesn't make contact with reflector the gate stops functioning. He did alot of it right but that he did wrong. Number one service call I go on for gates is photo-eyes out of alignment. Which they do get knocked on more than people think.
jjj
You obviously didn’t read the installation manual and have no clue about UL325. I’d stop.
