Thanks for reaching out to us. We no longer install gate operators. We did for many years, but now we focus our business on designing, building and delivering custom gates. We lost our technician a few years ago. We wish you the best!

Well … I’m not sure. I’d definitely have the installer come out and take a look. We have gotten out of the automation side of our business, so we are not as helpful as we once were in this area. I’m sorry. Wish you the best of luck.

You’ll still have battery backup. We don’t install or automate gates anymore. We are only designing, building and delivering gates. I wrote this a few years ago when we were handling electric and solar gates as well. Thanks for reading it.

Hard to say. We don’t have enough information to answer you well. One thing you might need/want is a battery maintainer.

Love you thoughts. I would like to convert my system from solar to AC. I use a 24MS battery now but I’m tired of replacing batteries. The gate constantly stops multiple times when opening. With this battery, have any recommendations for an AC-DC converter?

Assuming you are talking about a swing gate and … assuming it would be one with an actuator (rather than a pedestal mount) … there are lots of options for where to mount a control box so it is really impossible to answer your question. We’d recommend calling a local installer to have them come out and take a look or sending in some pictures. I’m including a link to a video that talks about disabling an 816 arm. you can see the control box to the far right side on the fence. It doesn’t have to be mounted exactly there. Otherwise, you can see the arms don’t take up much room. Hope this helps a little. https://youtu.be/gcQYTDrZq0I
