Each arm supports a gate leaf that weighs up to 600 lbs. or 12 feet in length. When used on two gates, the Gatekeeper YG opens up to 24 feet of gates weighing up to 1,200 pounds.
Safety Precautions Please read the following as common-sense reminders for the installation and use of the Gatekeeper YG. This is an electrical/mechanical device that can cause injury or death! Installing the YG-5602/1 Gate Opener requires standard 110V or 230V electrical wiring.
Gatekeeper YG. Gates Each Gatekeeper YG actuator will handle a gate weight up to 661 lb. (300Kg) and a length of 12 ft. (3.6 m). Verify that your gates do not exceed these limits.
The Gatekeeper YG requires at least 15A service. Make sure your electrician takes into account the voltage drop involved in running the wire to your installation location. Use a sufficient gauge wire to accommodate initial voltage and voltage at the gate.
The shipping box you received from Gatekeeper Ltd. contains the retail packaging for the Gatekeeper YG. Open the box and carefully remove the items. Place the items on trays or a tarp so that you can verify the contents. Mark each item opened as “Received.”...

Installation The actual installation of the Gatekeeper YG will take about four hours, if all goes well. Completing the “Pre-installation Checklist’ will expedite the installation process. Ensure you have sufficient time so you can complete the installation once you begin.
Pull to Open Inward This configuration pulls your gate open, into your property, to open. Mount the actuators on the included brackets according to the figure below. The gate mounts on one face of the mounting post, and the opener mounts on the face 90 degrees from it.
Push to Open Outward This configuration pushes the gate outward, away from your property, to open. Mount the actuators on the included brackets according to the figure below. The gate mounts on one face of the mounting post, and the opener mounts on the face 90 degrees from it.
Stopper and Latch Installation The stoppers act as limits for the gate movement. Installing the stoppers allows you to control exactly where your gate stops. The electric latch is added to hold the gate more securely than relying on the actuators to hold the gate closed.
Electric Lock Cross Section The following illustrates the electric latch assembly as a cross section. Weld the L Bar and electric lock to the gate for the most secure closure. The L Bar controls the offset of the gate leaf from the Gate Stopper. The Electric Lock attaches to the slave gate and contacts the Stop Block.
Electrical Installation Control Box Diagram This diagram illustrates the inner works of the control box and is included for your information. Connecting the AC Power The Control Box must have a single-phase circuit breaker (15A) between the Control Box and the power source. CAUTION! Be sure that the rocker switch on the bottom of the Control Box is in the “Off”...
CAUTION! Make sure that the power is OFF at the source and is not connected to the Control Box before making any electrical connections. BEWARE! The battery is not secured when the Control Box is open. Open the box carefully so the battery does not fall out, damaging the unit or your foot.
Advanced Control Wiring This picture details the Control Board. It identifies each of the items you will need during the installation of the Gatekeeper YG. The jumper numbers on the main board are named to help illustrate the connections that will be made.

MM1 Terminal block 1 & 2 Connect the cable to the MM1 for the master gate. (In gate opening operation, the master gate should be opened first) Important: connect only this interface if only using the single gate. SM2 Terminal block 3 & 4 Connect the cable to the MM2 for the slave gate.
After the LED light turns off, the receiver module goes back to “Normal” mode. The Gatekeeper YG supports up to 15 remote controls. Repeat the RF Remote Learning Mode for each additional remote.
If it is interrupted, you must restart the process from the beginning. If the Gatekeeper YG loses both power and backup battery power, anything stored in the memory will be lost. You will need to repeat the “System Self Learning Process.”...
of the Control Board, will begin flashing quickly. After about 75 seconds, the gate will begin moving on its own as it begins learning its travel path. The learning mode executes as follows: 1. Master Gate Closes (actuator extends) 2. Master Gate Opens (actuator retracts) 3.
External Interfaces Keypad/ Button Switch/Key Switch The Gatekeeper YG is equipped with an interface for an external switch or keypad. The interface type is a NO (Normally Open) momentary switch to ground. This spring-loaded switch is normally open when the springs are relaxed and closes when the switch is forced to its other position.
The device is usually buried in the driveway, under the point that you want the Gatekeeper YG to detect a vehicle. The wires are buried and run to the fence line then wired into the Control Board in the 9 – 15 IJ4) Additional Functions area.
Safeguards Infrared Photocell Device Included with your Gatekeeper YG is an Infrared (IR) Photocell Device. We strongly recommend that you install the infrared photocell to provide for additional safety for users of your gate. Photocells prevent the gate from moving if the IR beam is broken.
Additional devices can be obtained through your dealer. To find a dealer, go to www.gatekeeperltd.com/dealers. Auto-reverse Function You must tune the safety reverse function after you have installed the Gatekeeper YG, performed all self-learning functions, and programmed any remote controls. The Control Box must be powered to tune the safety reverse.
The auto-reverse function should be regularly inspected and adjusted if necessary. Once this step is complete, replace the cover and install the rubber caps over the screws. (VR1) Over-current Sensitivity: The range of Over-Current resistance can be adjusted between 3.5 amperes and 7 amperes by turning the screw.
Additional Features LIGHT DELAY: Flashing light delay on or off. ON: The flashing light starts 5 seconds ahead of gate moving. OFF: The flashing light starts and gate starts moving at same time. OPENING PHOTO: When the gate is moving at opening phase, the photo sensor can be selected as active or inactive.

Mechanical Maintenance Regularly verify that the gate swings freely. The Gatekeeper YG rarely requires lubrication. Check that all wiring and electrical parts are weatherproof. Keep opener clean at all times. Inspect the auto-reverse function and adjust if necessary.
