TC102 Photo Eye Infrared Photocell Beam Sensor for Gate Openers Access Control Security Alarm Systems

We bought the Topens AT1202 dual swing gate opener, the Topens TC175P wired keypad, the Topens TC102 photo eye beam sensor, the Topens ET24 electric gate lock, the TEW3 exit wand, the TCS3 solar charge controller and the TSP30W 30w solar panel charging kit early last year. My husband and I installed the system ourselves. We had never installed a gate opener before. The AT1202 gate openers are easy to install if you follow the instructions in the user manual. They have been in use for over a year now. We added the TC175P keypad to our system so friends and family could have their own access codes. We decided to install the TC102 photo eye beam sensors because they open the gate if crossed while gate is closing, so we have more time to get through. Works great when taking the trash cans out to the road. We installed the ET24 electric gate lock but it seemed to not work quite right. We aren’t sure if we didn’t install it right, but it’s close. Our gates are solid, not a lot of movement so we thought we had it lined up as good as we could. It worked mostly, but the few times it didn’t release right while the gates were trying to open, we decided to unlock that permanently to keep from possibly damaging the gate actuators. Our gates close tight when they shut and so we find the lock serves no purpose in our application. Because our gates are at the other end of a steel bridge, the TEW3 exit wand had to be installed further than recommended so the bridge didn’t interfere with the wand seeing as metal is what triggers it to work. We added the TCS3 solar charge controller and TSP30W 30W solar panel charging kit in case we ever loose power. We have lost power a few times and the gates open a little slower when only using the solar side. They also didn’t open as far. But we were still able to get through. We are extremely happy to have the openers and so thankful we did it. Any little thing comes up, which has only happened so far at my wrongdoing, I email the Topens Customer Support with a description of my issue and they have always responded with help until the problem was resolved. When we were installing this system, I got frustrated a few times and it was reflected in my email to them, and they never gave up helping me.

Connected well & great product. Installation was easy and I could do it myself.

Good as it was advertised. Great addition to my driveway gate.

works great

The price is great and the product is great. The installation it comes with doesn’t give you much information. The installation to the gate opener doesn’t give you much either and the wiring diagram wasn’t help. I watched the installation of the gate opener on YouTube and took screen shots of the wiring diagram. It worked. It’s a challenge if you don’t know much about electrical. Their customer service will help you. They do have great customer service.
