What if the gate clearance, 4:20 mark, is 5 inches of clearance, not the 4" - 4.5" inches as stated? Or do they mean 4" - 4.5" clearance as a minimum?

We agree that a shadow box does allow for better ventilation, However, it still does exceed the 30% coverage that we recommend installing swing gate operators on.

Why didn't you do your video installation on pipe fencing? How many conversion brackets are needed to mount this on a pipe fence entry?

I love that the batteries yall sell have bigger connections that the ones on the wires in the battery box..

We had a problem with the system getting hit with lighting, Ghost covered it, and a new board is in place and working well. Thanks for that. While reinstalling the new board we started to look for grounding instructions for the Ghost system. We cannot find anything on grounding for lighting from Ghost.
Also, how can we tell where the power surge came from? Maybe make a replacement chip so it is easy to repair the board. IE: Arduino UNO Would it help to completely isolate the control arms and electronics from our metal fence that is around our farm? Trying not to spend $170 every time we get a lightning storm.
Still better than any other gate system we have installed...

Will this gate opener operate a rail road style gate. Gate is counter balanced with cement ballast and opens easily. About 20 ft total length and about 500-600#. What is the percentage taken off for us veterans?

Does the kit come with lag bolts for the operator arm bracket?

What is the little round black piece that sits between where the wires come in to the box. My gate was not working at all, then I slightly twisted that and it started working again.

Do you recommend a car battery or smaller batteries as in the video? My gate is 16ft and 200 pounds. Thanks

Hi It is the same battery for 2 gate opener arms, 10 watt monocrystalline solar panel, control box?

[paulmayo]

Great Video definitely helpful. However order of steps does not agree with manual. Also very well presented by your quality of install was a little off. Should have used a level on the mounting of the control box and battery box ==> kind of off level.

Can I use a Zombie Lock and Vehicle Sensor? It looks like I would have to plug both of them into the + slot on the lock, I didn't know if that would be an issue?

I hooked the wires up right to a 12v marine battery and it won turn on, is there an on switch or am I supposed to hold something down?

[rickybeck]

Will batteries still charge with gate being turned off?

Have you ever thought of updating your nearly decade old content?

UL2016 compliant huh? Didn't see any safety device being installed and yet the unit still ran.

Box mounting and dangling wires look crappy
