E-Z GATE OPENER
_____________________________________
DRIVE
_____________________________________
• Low friction screw drive (linear actuator) rated for -5 °F to +160 °F (-20 °C to +71 °C).
• Powered by a 12 V motor with integral case hardened steel gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 260 rpm.
• Maximum opening arc of 110°. Approximate opening time (90°): 18 seconds, depending on weight of gate.
_____________________________________ POWER _____________________________________
• The system is powered by a 12 Vdc, 7.0 Ah, sealed, rechargeable acid battery.
• Battery charge is maintained by a 120 Vac, 14 Vac output transformer (20 VA) through the E-Z GATE control
board or by optional E-Z GATE Solar Panels; the panel should generate minimum of 10 Watts. A diode on the
control board prevents battery discharge.
IMPORTANT:
Never use
both
transformer and solar panel— this will
damage the battery and control board.
• One (1) blade-style fuse is rated for 15 A.
NOTE: The transformer should not be directly connected to any battery. Do not replace fuses with
higher ampere rated fuses; doing so will void your warranty and may damage your control board.
_____________________________________ CONTROL _____________________________________
• E-Z GATE
microprocessor-based control board is set for dual leaf, pull-to-open gate installations. Jumper can
be removed to for push-to-open gates.
• A circuit on the control board regulates charging. “Sleep draw” is 15 mA; “active draw” is 3 to 8 A.
• Auto-memorization of digital remote code.
• E-Z GATE RF receiver tuned to 318 MHz.
• Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is 26

/
8
", mounting point to mounting point. Maximum stroke
is 13".
• Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF or 3–120 seconds), and obstruction sensitivity (stall force).
• Power terminal block accommodates a transformer or solar panels.
• Accessory terminal block fully compatible with all E-Z GATE access controls.
• Control board allows connection of safety edge sensors and photoelectric sensors.
• Audio entrapment alarm sounds if unit encounters an obstruction twice while opening or closing.
_____________________________________ OPERATIONAL CAPACITY _____________________________________
• The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the E-Z Gate Opener when
powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the type and condition of gate and
installation.
NOTE: BALL BEARING HINGES SHOULD BE USED ON ALL GATES WEIGHING OVER 250 LBS.
To determine the number of cycles the gate opener will perform using solar panels, please see the specifications
listed on page 2.
