CO-Z1400lb Sliding Gate Opener Hardware Security System Kit for Sliding Gates Up to 40 Feet, Automatic Gate Opener with Two Remote Controls, Electric Rolling Driveway Slide Gate Motor - Model CG1400

Not a compensated comment. Overall you can't beat the quality of this product so far, it is hard to say how long the motor will last, but hopefully you can get replacement parts and that would be a plus! Very clean installation and with some modifications it has met my expectations. First of all it comes with basically everything you will need to get it going. The anchors would be a nice addition, I used 3/8 in and is very solid, make sure you start with a good foundation. On my install I timed it with the concrete pour for the gate so is one big slab of concrete and it is solid. My electrical box is on the opposite side of the driveway so I used the gate track and ran the thermostat cable under it, perfect for my needs. The gate was built at exactly 20 ft so no chain modification was required. Since the gate has a lot of metal at the bottom I had to extend the antenna, now it goes all the way up the pole and I can operate the gate at a much farther distance. Looking into adding WIFI module any recommendations would be appreciated. The bolts were a little too long for my gate and should be design with security in mind, maybe allen type or tork head, but nothing a cutting disk can't manage and in my case they are not exposed to the outside where they can be tampered with. The chain tension brackets could use an up and down side to side adjustment sort of like a cross type to be able to offer better adjustment capability to the chain. In my case they worked out just fine. The L bracket could be shorter where the chain bolts down to, just in case the gate pole is too close and hits it, in my case it was perfect and barely miss the poles. The instructions could be better, seems like this is a big issue with some owners. The remotes. I don't like to be looking for a remote while I'm driving to open a gate. I went ahead an installed a visor clip, most will do just make sure the screws you use are not too long that can damage the electronics inside the remote. The wireless keypad works great and should be part of the opener's package, maybe a compatible sensor also. I tried installing a sensor but had no luck, (wired according to 2 videos I watched on U2B) but instead of retracting or stopping the gate when the beam was broken (could hear the relay and the light change from yellow to red) the gate just kept going so I removed it and return it, I will try again since I believe the problem was with the sensor. I would recommend this product at this time. I'm hoping to get many years of trouble free performance, only time will tell. Last but not least, don't forget to lube the chain every so often. Update July 14, 2021, since there is a sidewalk by the gate I installed a strobe light, comes on and off when the gate closes or opens, great visual indications the gate is moving. Will try a WIFI smart switch shortly to see if I can voice open and close. Just need to find a compatible remote for the WIFI switch to simulate the button press to open and close and install a wired magnetic sensor for status checks, or figure out which terminals to hook up the switch to the board if possible, but there is not much information out there for this and the schematic in the manual that came with the opener is not for the model I actually got. Basically the same thing I did for the garage opener and it works like a charm. I like the idea of Alexa opening or closing the gate as I depart or arrive to the house. This would complete this project! UPDATE, 16th July 2021, finally got the voice open/close going, works like a charm with status command. I have to say I'm impressed with this opener. I can open the Alexa app coming back to the house and open the front gate using voice commands with security passcode, the gate is 20 ft long so it takes a while for it to open, I wish the opener had 2 speeds a slow/fast but it doesn't so this way I can have it open by the time I arrive at the house and don't have to stop traffic waiting on it to open. I can also open the garage door the same way. UPDATE: October 2021, Customer support has been excellent! The seller got your back!

Very happy with the gate so far. Range with the remote is quite impressive. The instructions could be a little better when trying to set up magnetic stops. Good value for money.

Works amazing, hate opens and closes slow

This is a great product very easy to install and last a very long timeI do recommend.

This unit has great ratings so I'll just skip all the perks and say yes, for the money it seems to be a good deal. In fact, I'm not sure you can beat it. In fact, the cost for what you get is why I'll still give it 4 stars despite the fact that trying to make it work right is only slightly more challenging than defusing a bomb, in the dark, with nail clippers, while passing a kidney stone.The sad thing is that it's not the unit so much as the ridiculously deplorable excuse for instructions. Now don't get me wrong. I'm fine with crappy instructions that just don't explain things. I'm very good with tools, relays, circuitry, and engineering. The issue here is that the instructions aren't just bad, they're WRONG. They send you down bad roads. If they were written correctly, this would be a 5-Star machine.If you look around you will find many people have complained about this, and offered different workarounds. I'll do my best to lay out what I did in hopes of helping someone else.First, there are several Youtube videos out there. The Heritage Farms channel has a few videos on this. Their original review and video on installing the Seco-Larm Enforcer electric eye are ones I would highly recommend. The Enforcer electric eye I mention as many reviewers seem to use that, but holy cow, that's another one with instructions that are as wrong as these.My unit is a Right Hand installation as depicted in the instructions. What I mean is that if you're inside the fence, looking at the gate, my opener is on the right hand side of the driveway, just like the one in the Heritage Farms video. In this configuration, you are supposed to set the board to "FWD." If it was on the other side, you would set the board to "REV."Once it was all installed and working, I hooked up the Enforcer electric eye, and what would happen is that if the beam was broken while the gate was closing, it was ignored, and if the beam was broken when the gate was opening, it reversed and started closing. So exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do. By the same token, if you set the gate to auto close after so many seconds, what would happen is that when it opened, it would stay there all day, but if you closed it, then it would open after that many seconds. So clearly, the gate thought it was open when closed, and closed when open. At this point simply changing the switch from FWD to REV will not fix the issue.I believe in the Heritage Farms video he had the same problem, as he said he believed they had wired a circuit backwards in the system, and I concur. I rewired it. He fixed his by reversing the way the chain feeds through the sprockets, and I think he may have had to change his magnets. I didn't do that for two reasons. The first is that someone here posted a question as to how the chain was supposed to feed, and Banyan Imports stated that it is indeed supposed to feed like in the manual. To be fair, based on my one communication with them, I'm not sure they have the slightest idea what's correct, but the other reason I didn't change it was because when I started to do it I realized I was going to have to re-cut the chain as it changed the length needed.So here is how I fixed mine. I can't say if it will work for anyone else, or if what I did is the right thing to do. It's just how I fixed mine to work like it says it's supposed to work in the manual. No warranties express or implied, your mileage may vary, and all that fun stuff:First, I found that backwardly wired circuit which if you look at your schematic is at the X6 terminals. The schematic shows wires marked OPLM and CLLM. I frogged those two wires on the block (reversed their position). Doing this kept me from having to change the positioning of the two magnets that were already mounted to the gate. I was done welding, painting, etc., and just didn't want to have to move them. Then I changed the switch configuration on the board from FWD to REV (which is dead WRONG per the directions). Then, viola. It works fine.Now for that Seco-Larm Enforcer beam. I'll post this in my review there, but if you use one of these things it's not straight forward either. I usually like Seco-Larm products, but this is a terrible schematic. The CO-Z clearly uses DC current to power the beam, and you can confirm this with a Fluke meter, but you have to use the AC wire. Here is the configuration to make it work on the CO-Z (or at least what worked for me):Power Slot = Brown WireGnd Slot = Both Blue & White WireIR Slot = Grey WireBlack Wire is UnusedI would still recommend the unit, but I would have been better off had there been no directions at all.One suggestion. When you're setting it up and testing before you mount anything, turn on auto-close. Then you can see what the unit thinks is opened, closed, etc. as you play with the magnets. That could keep you from dealing with some of these headaches.Good luck.

Works great
