Product Features
Solar Power Option
Choosing the solar power option should be dependent on geographical location, the number of cycles per day expected, and the accessories to be used. Solar panels must be located in an area clear of obstructions and shading to allow maximum sunlight to reach the panel. Snow, heavy fog and rain will affect solar panel performance. Solar operation is not recommended in areas where temperatures routinely fall below freezing (32°F or 0°C).
Gate Tracker™
Provides Operator data to companion access controller (DKS 1833, 1835, 1837, 1838).
Breakaway Hub
Unique breakaway hub design prevents gear box damage if the gate is struck.
Loop Detectors
Easy plug-in ports for DKS Loop Detectors.
Easy-to-Adjust Electronic Magnetic Limits
Eliminates old-style mechanical switches that can wear out, break, or fail.
Steel Frame
Provides strength and durability even in harsh weather environments.
