It’s designed to work with all TOPENS gate openers and most third-party swing or sliding openers that accept a normally open dry contact signal. The dual channel transmitter design enables access to two different openers from a single keypad, offering greater flexibility in larger setups. The TC188 is weather-ready for all seasons and can be mounted at the entrance, exit, or both sides of the gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWireless vs wired, and what you’ll need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn wireless mode, the TC188 minimizes wiring while delivering reliable keyless operation. When needed in areas with interference or distant control boxes, the wired mode provides a stable alternative. For third‑party gate openers, pairing with an ERM12 external receiver (sold separately) expands compatibility, while basic power can come from the included 9V battery or an external power source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReal‑world use cases\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine a quiet morning at a residence or farm where guests or service personnel can enter with a temporary code.
