Solar Powered Gate Options

Visitor buttons allow visitors etc. who do not have a remote control to open the gate. They are usually mounted on a post, rail, wall etc. on either side of the gate and well clear of the gate so that they can be operated from the window of a vehicle. The most popular visitor buttons and keypads are wireless and do not require any cable to be run to the control box.

There are three types of visitor buttons:

• Hard Wired Push Button
• Wireless Push Button
• Wireless Keypad with PIN number

This button requires a cable to be run from the button to the control box.

This button consists of a weather proof button mounted on a small box with wireless transmitter that does not require any cabling to the control box. It can be mounted on any surface or post etc. that is within radio range (<80mtrs) of the control box.

This cover can be mounted on any surface including the metal visitor post. It is designed to provide mechanical and weather protection for all visitor buttons.

All covers come powder coated in a deep brunswick green.

A 1600mm powder coated metal post, pre-drilled wih pole cap, that can be concreted into the ground and used to mount all visitor buttons. Longer poles are also available that have two push buttons, one for large vehicles that require a higher push button/keypad such as buses and trucks, and one mounted at normal height for cars and 4WD's etc.

All posts come powdercoated in a deep brunswick green.

The Wireless Keypad requires no cabling and can be mounted in a position the same as the Wireless Visitor Button. It allows programming of up to 20 different PIN numbers for selected people to use and open the gate.
