Please Read This First!
Thank you for purchasing the E8 “do-it-yourself” automatic gate opener! When correctly installed
and properly used, your E8 Gate Opener will give you many years of reliable service.
The E8 Opener is designed for installation on a pull-to-open or push-to-open gate.
The E8 Gate Opener can be used on aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates.
Use on solid surface gates is NOT recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to
the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct and stop.
The E8 Gate Opener accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push
buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products.
The E8 Gate Opener features an obstruction sensor. This feature makes the gate stop and
reverse open when it comes in contact with an obstruction. This sensitivity can be adjusted on the
main control board.
The E8 Gate Opener has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open
position, it can be set to remain open up to 99 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the
transmitter button at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately.
OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter
(or keypad, etc.) again. You can adjust this in the menu settings.
