Eagle I Residential Slide Gate Operator - 1/2 HP

Compact Chain-Drive Automation for Residential Slide Gates

The Eagle Access Eagle I Slide Gate Operator is a compact AC-powered operator designed for residential and other compatible vehicular slide gate applications. It supports gates up to 300 lb and 18 ft long and uses a 1/2 HP continuous-duty 120 VAC motor with #41 chain drive.

The Eagle I uses Eagle's AC Mini Control Board, providing adjustable inherent obstruction sensing, automatic closing, master/slave capability, accessory connections, maglock control, and separate inputs for vehicle detection and external entrapment protection. Mechanical limit nuts establish the gate's open and closed positions, while the opening direction can be configured for either left- or right-opening gates.

During a power outage, the Eagle I uses a manual crank release to move the gate rather than a battery-backup system. The operator also supports Eagle radio receivers and the EG380 Wi-Fi opener, allowing compatible installations to add smartphone gate control and open/closed status monitoring through a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.

Conclusion

The Eagle I is a practical choice for smaller slide gates that fall within its 300 lb and 18 ft operating limits. Its AC Mini Control Board provides the essential functions needed for residential gate automation while supporting vehicle loops, monitored entrapment devices, maglocks, radio controls, and optional Wi-Fi access.

Unlike Eagle operators with battery backup, the Eagle I uses a manual crank for operation during a power failure. External photoeyes, sensing edges, and other entrapment protection should be selected and positioned according to the actual gate layout and UL 325 installation requirements.
