Read More: Gate Opener System Overview
Our gate opener offerings include the industries top direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) powered options. In direct current (DC), electric charge (current) only flows in one direction. Alternating current (AC), in contrast, changes direction. In layman’s terms, our DC powered gate openers run off batteries (trickle charged by transformers or solar panels) and our AC powered gate openers are hard wired using power from home, office, or business.
DC power, direct current, is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. A battery is a good example of a DC power supply. Our DC powered line of gate openers are either 12 or 24 volts DC; the batteries are normally trickle charged by a plug-in power transformer. Batteries are similar to those found in a riding lawn mower. Solar power is another option for some gate opener systems.
Requires power from home, or business. Available in all popular voltages and phases: 115VAC, 230VAC, 208VAV, 460VAC and single phase and three phase for your convenience. Battery backup solutions for these gate openers are available for most models too. While the basic installation, mechanics, and low-voltage accessories can be installed and programmed by a homeowner, business owner, or fence contractor, installation and hook-up of high voltage power will require one experienced with electricity, or a qualified electrician.
