Thank you for purchasing an E-Z Gate Opener "do-it-yourself” automatic gate opener! When correctly
installed and properly used, your E-Z Gate Opener will give you many years of reliable service. Please read
the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. Furthermore, this
manual will enable you to properly install your E-Z Gate Opener.
The E-Z Gate Opener is designed for installation on
Pull-To-Open dual gate leaves
(gates that open
into
the property). By purchasing accessory brackets [E-Z GATE Push Bracket], the E-Z Gate Opener can
accommodate
Push-To-Open dual gate leaves
(gates that open
out
from the property). Please see Pull-To-
Open/Push-To-Open diagram on page 3. The gates must not exceed 12 ft. or 300 lbs. per leaf (see Technical
Specifications on page 1). The E-Z Gate Opener can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and
wrought iron gates.
Use on solid (surface) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance
to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the opener will obstruct and stop, blow fuses, or
may damage the equipment.
The E-Z Gate Opener features an
adjustable stall force
setting. This safety feature makes the gate stop and
reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The MIN setting means the
gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
You will need to
adjust the stall force for your particular application
.
The E-Z Gate Opener also has an
adjustable auto-close
feature. After the gate reaches the fully open
position, it can be set for OFF, or to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing.
Pressing the remote button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately. The auto-
close factory setting is OFF, meaning the gate will stay open until you press the remote (or keypad, etc.) again.
The E-Z Gate Opener accommodates extra remotes, digital keypads, solar panels, and other access control
products.
