Description
The LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Solar Gate Operator Kit with KPW5, (2) 811LMX Remotes & 72" In-Ground Pedestal provides a comprehensive solar-powered access solution for entrances with dual swing gates. This package combines the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL primary operator system with the LA500DCS secondary actuator, solar equipment, wireless keypad access, vehicle remotes, and a dedicated keypad pedestal.
Designed for residential estates, ranch entrances, rural properties, gated communities, private driveways, and light commercial applications, this package is especially useful where extending conventional AC utility power to the gate entrance may be difficult or expensive.
The LA500PKGUL and LA500DCS work together to automate two compatible swing gate leaves, while the included K94-37236 solar harness, 20W 12V solar panel, and mounting bracket provide the core components for a compatible solar installation. A LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad, two 811LMX remotes, and 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal complete the access-control package.

Why Choose This LiftMaster LA500 Dual Solar Gate Operator Kit?
Dual swing gate installations require more equipment than a standard single-gate system. This GatePoint Solutions package brings the primary operator, secondary actuator, solar equipment, and access-control components together into one convenient solution.
The LA500PKGUL provides the primary control system and actuator, while the included LA500DCS secondary actuator operates the second gate leaf. Together, they provide synchronized automation for compatible dual swing gate entrances.
For visitor and authorized-user access, the included LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad provides PIN-based gate activation without requiring control wiring between the keypad and operator. The included 72" in-ground pedestal provides a dedicated driveway mounting location, while two 811LMX remotes provide convenient gate access for authorized vehicles.
Combined with the included solar equipment, this package is particularly well suited for dual driveway gates, estates, ranch entrances, rural properties, gated communities, and remote controlled-access locations where extending utility power to the entrance may not be practical.
LiftMaster LA500PKGUL Dual Solar Kit Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this a dual swing gate operator kit?
This package includes both the LiftMaster LA500PKGUL primary operator system and LA500DCS secondary actuator. The secondary actuator allows the system to automate a second compatible swing gate leaf.
What solar equipment is included?
The kit includes a LiftMaster K94-37236 solar harness, one 20W 12V solar panel, and one solar panel mounting bracket.
What access-control equipment comes with the kit?
The package includes one LiftMaster KPW5 wireless keypad, two LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remotes, and one GatePoint Solutions 72" in-ground gooseneck pedestal.
What does the KPW5 wireless keypad do?
The LiftMaster KPW5 provides convenient PIN-based access for compatible LiftMaster gate systems. Authorized users can enter a programmed code at the driveway rather than requiring a handheld transmitter.
What are the two 811LMX remotes for?
The two included LiftMaster 811LMX single-button remote controls provide convenient wireless gate activation for authorized users and vehicles.
What size gates can an LA500 dual system operate?
The LA500 platform is designed for swing gates up to 18 ft. long and 1,600 lbs. per gate leaf, subject to proper gate construction, hardware, installation geometry, site conditions, and LiftMaster application requirements.
Is one 20W solar panel enough for every dual LA500 system?
Not necessarily. A dual-actuator system can have greater power requirements than a single-actuator installation.
Required solar capacity depends on geographic location, sunlight exposure, gate cycles, battery capacity, accessory loads, and site conditions. The included 20W panel provides the base solar equipment for this package, but every installation should be sized according to current LiftMaster solar specifications.
Does the solar panel directly operate both gate actuators?
No. The LA500 system operates from its DC battery system. The solar equipment replenishes the batteries so stored energy remains available to operate the gate system.
Can additional access-control equipment be added later?
Yes. Compatible access-control, safety, and communication equipment can be incorporated into an LA500 installation. Additional electrical loads should be considered when determining appropriate solar and battery capacity.
Professional Installation Recommended
Dual automatic swing gates require proper actuator placement, gate geometry, electrical configuration, synchronization, and monitored entrapment protection.
Installation should follow current LiftMaster documentation and applicable UL 325 requirements. Solar system performance also depends on correct panel orientation, available sunlight, battery condition, expected gate cycles, accessory loads, and other site-specific factors.
Where can I find the LiftMaster LA500 manual and wiring diagram?
