Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'll be honest its hard to give a product a 5 star because there are always some kind of issues. When you receive this opener you'll think it was a toy. It’s really is small. Don't let that throw you off. This little thing works. I figured that for the cost you were going to get much less than you do with the larger pricier big name brands. Let me jump into it and tell you the pros but also the obstacles I had to hurdle to get get it to work. Upon reading other reviews you definitely need to purchase the outdoor safety sensor. I purchased this one: Seco-Larm E-931-S35RRQ Enforcer Indoor/Outdoor... SECO-LARM Why do you need a safety sensor because you need to make sure the gate stops or retracts if something crosses its path. This little motor is no joke it is strong enough to crush anything in its path including a child. The sensor came with the following cables Black, Grey, White, Blue and Brown. I added a picture to show you how I wired it. *Disclaimer I am not a licensed electrician. Wire at your own risk. This worked for me. The system won't really operate correctly without a safety sensor. If you decide on getting this motor, the first thing I recommend is read your manual and get familiar with it. I connected everything before installing it just to see how it would work. This system uses magnets as limit switches and you need to get a good feel for how these work. You have a top and a bottom magnet each one with the intention of stopping the gate at the desired travel distance. Play with it and you'll get what I mean. I also installed an on/off switch in an enslosed waterproof 2 gang box so that I can turn off the motor in the event of an emergency or if I just want the gate to stay open with out it automatically wanting to close. This beats turning off your breaker from your house.
