Eagle-1 Slide Gate Operator with 2 Wireless Remotes, Security Reflective Photo Eye Monitored, and Receiver – ½ HP Residential Home Slide Gate Opener – Easy to Install

Nice gate opener!!

We use our iPhone to open gate, also picked a few extra remotes, super easy to program. Overall we love our gate.

Bought six months ago and a bunch of problems. Repair specialist came out and tried to reset and only stayed ok for a couple of weeks. Remotes fail sometimes but main issue is rain. We figured out why gate was staying open instead of auto close - rain drops on reflector and sensor. Every time we get rain, gate stays open for hours until drops dry out. Don’t buy this one

This is my second Eagle gate operator, first one still works great, after over 10 years. Replaced another opener with this model. We had some questions before the purchase and tech support was great answering all our concerns. Struggle a bit with remotes as I wanted to use same opener for both gates, but my installer got it done.

PIR dose not work with direct sunlight sensor hood to small

The media could not be loaded. I've seen the Eagle brand around for a long time, which gives me some confidence in the company and their product up front. Getting it out of the box without destroying it was a bit of a challenge. They should probably have an insert on top that tells you that the cover is NOT actually installed, but wedged in with a bag of expansion foam on top, so it's tight enough that it will lift the whole thing until it slips off and the rest falls back. Luckily I'd tilted everything on its side to wiggle it out.The first thing I noticed was that the vacu-formed cover was distorted around the chain entry/exit slots. It only bolts down in the center, so there's nothing to pull down that flap at the corner. It was also a bit sad that their logo on the side was installed visibly crooked. While that obviously doesn't affect performance, to me, that's a pretty strong indicator if someone takes pride in their work and their company.I used to design electromechanical positioning systems, so opening this unit I found a lot of familiar design decisions, reminding me of the products we sold thirty years ago. Nothing wrong with that since those mechanisms work and are generally reliable. The adjustment for the limit switches is interesting though. Our old system had separate screws with knobs outside the assembly that moved the limit switches. This one requires opening the box and pushing down a lock bar that allows moving the two white (Delrin or Teflon?) carriers that move on the main lead screw to adjust the range of motion. This requires access to that side of the package when installed, so it's critical that it not be installed up against a wall or something that would prevent access.I should also point out the remote below that, which explains the complaints others have as to wireless range for the remote. The module has a little spiral wire antenna below it, but it's right up against the steel body which means it's not going to radiate very well due to the coupling to the steel, and it will only radiate primarily in one direction, away from the box on that side, so if you have that oriented away from the entrance (50-50 chance depending on which side you install it on) then you'll have weak reception. It may be possible to reorient that antenna or even straighten the coil out and reroute it and improve performance, but this should probably be on top with that antenna pointing away from the metal.I didn't get into the electronics box, but the features in the manual (well written and detailed) show some nice features such as the ability to put sensor loops in the ground/concrete under the driveway for exit and keeping the gate open near the gate. To me that's preferable to the optical sensor that will have other potential problems with dirt, alignment, placement to avoid sunlight, etc. The one advantage with the optical is that a person can trigger it vs. needing a big hunk of metal to trigger the sensor loops.The parts box also has a hand crank taped to the top that can be inserted in the input to the gearbox to open the unit in the absence of power, but with a lot of cranking. That requires access to the side opposite the remote and limit switch, so where this is installed is pretty critical. It's generally designed to be out in the open with nothing around it. No hiding it behind a wall, etc.

i installed this myself 2 years ago and it has performed flawlessly. It is very agjustable and has numerous saftey features that should keep it working for many more years.

Best gate opener ever built i got two one for my main entrance and another for the guest which work more than 50 times per day last forever work smoothly and the best control is the timer 2 min all you need use multi linear controls and open 200 feet’s no complaints is the best
