How to open the gate

Note: You will need an access card assigned by the gate owner
  1. Try to lift the pin - maybe it's unlocked already
  2. If the pin will not lift, present your card to the card reader by reaching up into the steel tube. Feel around for a rectangular panel and place the card on the panel
  3. If the card is recognized, you will hear the locking mechanism start at which point you can remove the card
  4. After the locking mechanism has finished unlocking, lift the pin and open the gate

How to lock the gate

  1. Close the gate
  2. Replace the pin
  3. Present card to card reader until you hear the locking mechanism start to lock

Troubleshooting

  • If the system is busy (e.g. satellite transmission) the card reader may not react right away
  • Continue to hold the card at the reader for up to 30 seconds
  • If the card still does not work, contact the gate owner
