Page 18: Dual Gates Only
INSTALLATION STEP 8 DUAL GATES ONLY There are two options for dual gate communication: wired or wireless. Follow the directions according to your application. Do not use wired and wireless communication simultaneously. Wired dual gate applications will have a longer battery standby time than wireless applications. Wireless dual gates will require the installation of two control boxes, one for each operator arm. - Page 19 INSTALLATION STEP 8 continued...
