LiftMaster CSW200501UL Swing Gate Operator 1/2 HP

Commercial Class AC Swing Gate Operator w/ myQ

The LiftMaster CSW200501UL is a 1/2 HP AC continuous-duty swing gate operator built for high-traffic commercial and residential vehicular gate applications across UL 325 Class I through IV. It handles swing gates up to 1,600 lbs and 18 ft. The 900:1 dual oil-bath wormgear reduction drives the gate through a 90° arc in approximately 20 seconds and delivers the torque margin needed for continuous operation in high-cycle commercial environments. The 1/4 in gold zinc-plated steel chassis resists corrosion, and the high-density UV-resistant polyethylene cover protects internal components in outdoor installations.

The CSW200501UL includes the Security+ 2.0 on-board radio receiver operating on tri-band 310/315/390 MHz, compatible with up to 50 remote controls (unlimited with model 811LM or 813LM). myQ technology enables remote monitoring and gate control from anywhere via cellular or Wi-Fi connection. Wireless dual-gate communication synchronizes bi-parting gate operation without driveway trenching. The pre-motion warning alarm activates 3 seconds before gate travel, and the inherent reversing sensor detects obstructions and reverses or stops the gate accordingly. Quick close and anti-tailgate functions are controlled through the expansion board. Surge suppression provides lightning protection against strikes up to 50 ft away. The manual release handle allows gate operation during power loss while maintaining limit position upon re-engagement.

Conclusion

The included LMRRUL retro-reflective photoeye satisfies the monitored entrapment protection device required per UL 325 for swing gate installations. The CSW200501UL is the 1/2 HP model in the CSW200UL family. For gates exceeding 1,600 lbs or 18 ft, the CSW200101UL (1 HP) handles gates up to 2,000 lbs and 22 ft and is the appropriate step up. Note that gate capacity on the CSW200501UL varies by gate length: the 1,600 lb rating applies at 8 ft, stepping down to 800 lbs at 16 ft and 600 lbs at 18 ft per the manufacturer capacity chart. Confirm your gate weight and length against that chart before ordering to ensure the correct model is selected. For installations requiring extended temperature performance below -4°F, the optional heater kit (HTRNB) is available separately and extends the operating range to -40°F.
