HARD-WIRED INSTALLATION
You will need two pairs of 16 gauge (AWG) stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (RB509), one pair to hard-wire the
communication between the keypad and the gate opener, the other to exend the life of the four “C” batteries. NOTE: The
four “C” batteries are required for reliable operation of the keypad.
Step 1: Turn the gate opener’s power switch OFF.
Step 2: Determine how the wires will enter the keypad (e.g., from the back through a hole
drilled in the post; running the wire on the post surface). Drill a hole in the back of the keypad
cover and pull the wire into the cover. Then mount the cover to the post using
Drill Hole
the screws provided. Run wire through PVC pipe from the ground to keypad and from the
ground to the opener control board to protect it from lawn mowers or grazing animals.
Step 3: Wire the keypad to the gate opener control board. Strip 3/16” off the ends of one
pair of low voltage wires. Attach the wires to the terminal block
marked RELAY on the keypad control board as shown. Then
connect wire #1 to the CYCLE terminal on the gate opener
control board, and wire #2 to the COM terminal on the gate
opener control board
NOTE: If you have a PRO 1000/2000/SL1000/SL2000 gate
opener, connect wire #1 to the WHT accessory terminal, and
wire #2 to the GRN accessory terminal.
Refer to your gate opener instruction manual for more details
on wiring the gate opener control board. Step 4: Wire the
keypad to the battery. Strip 3/16” off the ends of the second
pair of low voltage wires. Attach the wires to the terminal block
marked POWER on the keypad control board as shown.
Connect the other end of the wires to the opener’s battery: one
end to the POSITIVE (RED) terminal and the other to the
NEGATIVE (BLACK) terminal.
