Swing Gate Operator for Residential and Light Commercial Use The USAutomatic Ranger HD 1 (020516) is a battery-powered single swing gate operator for residential, light commercial, farm, and ranch applications. A 12 VDC linear actuator with a 24-inch stroke moves gates up to 16 feet and 800 pounds, including ornamental iron, chain link, and ranch-style gates. Farm-style gates up to 20 feet are supported at 250 pounds maximum. Gate travel runs approximately 12 seconds. The system charges a sealed 12V battery through the included 115V AC adapter, rated at 20 VDC / 1.2A, supporting up to 575 operating cycles per day. During a power outage, the battery sustains operation for several weeks at fewer than 20 cycles per day before requiring attention. Key Features 12 VDC linear actuator with 24-inch stroke for gates up to 16 ft and 800 lbs 115V AC adapter charges battery; rated for up to 575 cycles per day with battery backup sustaining operation for several weeks during outages at low cycle demand ETL listed by Intertek to current UL325 standards, Class I through Class IV Type A inherent entrapment protection; onboard monitoring for Type B1 photo eye and Type B2 contact edge Through-beam photo eye kit included; meets second entrapment requirement for standard swing gate installations PWM adaptive soft start and soft stop; eight adjustable speed settings LCR 433.92 MHz dual-channel receiver; stores up to 42 codes; 2 transmitters included Expandable to dual gate with second actuator and 40 ft interconnect cable (sold separately) Wi-Fi app module compatible (PN 030223, sold separately) Manufactured in the USA; 3-year warranty on all components Technical Specifications SKU: 020516 Gate Capacity: Up to 16 ft and 800 lbs; farm gates up to 20 ft at 250 lbs max Actuator: 12 VDC, 24-inch stroke (PN 510006) Gate Opening Speed: Approximately 12 seconds Power Source: 115V AC adapter, 20 VDC / 1.2A output (PN 520009, included) AC Cycle Capacity: Up to 575 cycles per day Battery: 12V battery not included Receiver Frequency: 433.92 MHz Transmitters Included: 2 x LCR 2-button (PN 030210) Receiver Capacity: 42 unique transmitter codes UL325 Classification: Class I, II, III, IV (ETL listed) Control Board: PN 500027 Warranty: 3 years Manufacturer: USAutomatic, LLC - Lewisville, TX Country of Origin: Made in the USA Condition: New Available Models 020516: Standard cabinet 020520: Metal cabinet Installation Notes A 12V sealed maintenance-free battery, 30 Ah minimum, is required and not included. Wet cell batteries must not be installed inside the control box. The included adapter cable is 10 feet; extendable to 100 feet with 18 AWG wire or up to 250 feet with 16 AWG wire using extension pigtails (PN 630038). The adapter must be installed indoors or in a rain-tight enclosure. A surge protector and GFCI circuit are recommended on all 115V AC installations. For locations without grid power access, see the solar model (SKU 020518). Conclusion The Ranger HD 1 (020516) is sized for a single gate. If your installation involves two gates on a shared entry, the dual gate model (020519 solar / 020517 AC) drives both leaves from one control board. If grid power is not accessible at the gate location, the solar model (020518) operates on the same platform with a 10-watt solar panel in place of the AC adapter. Gate condition matters before installation - the Ranger HD 1 cannot compensate for a gate that binds, sags, or requires a wheel for support. Verify the gate swings freely and hinges are in good condition before ordering. Cut Sheet Installation / User Manual
