Can I use a master operator and 3 slave operators to control two double swing gates?
The idea of using multiple slave gate operators and one master operator is not a new one. We have had many customers propose this scenario, however there are problems with that idea such as: *The slave operator is less expensive because it uses the control board, battery, receiver and transformer of the master operator. When you purchase the slave unit you will receive an actuator arm and control cable (for wiring to the control box of the master operator). The control cable of the slave operator is only 32′ (PRO2000XL), 40′ (PRO3000XL) or 50′ (PRO4000XL) and is usually snaked, preferably in conduit, under the driveway. Although you may purchase longer control cables (up to 40′ non-spliceable), the idea of using a slave operator independently on a separate gate is a poor idea. When you use the remote transmitter or any other device used to open or close the gate, the slave operator will also open/ close. In other ideas, all actuator arms functioning off the master operator will open/cl
