LiftMaster CSW200501UL / CSW200UL 1/2 HP AC High-Traffic Swing Gate Operator
The LiftMaster CSW200UL 1/2 HP operator is a commercial swing gate operator for high-traffic vehicular gates where a durable AC gear-driven system is preferred. It is often used at gated communities, commercial properties, multi-family entrances, and heavy residential applications. The 1/2 HP version should be matched to gate size, gate weight, duty cycle, wind conditions, and gate hardware condition, not selected only by model name.
Compatibility can be confusing because CSW200, Elite CSW200, CSW200UL, CSW200501UL, and CSW200101UL names are often used together in the field. For sales and parts support, identify whether the customer has the current UL 325 monitored safety version, the older Omni/Elite generation, the 1/2 HP model, or the 1 HP model. The current CSW200UL platform integrates with Security+ 2.0 radio accessories, compatible LiftMaster access control, monitored safety devices, and dual-gate communication features when configured correctly.

Technician Notes
- Do not confuse the 1/2 HP CSW200501UL with the 1 HP CSW200101UL. Capacity, motor, and some replacement parts may differ.
- Older Elite/Omni CSW200 operators may not use the same board, wiring, or safety requirements as current UL 325 versions.
- Confirm input voltage and phase before ordering electrical parts or a complete operator.
- UL 325 monitored safety devices are required for current installations. Do not bypass monitored photo eyes or edge inputs.
Before Ordering
- Confirm whether the customer needs 1/2 HP or 1 HP.
- Confirm gate length, gate weight, hinge condition, wind loading, and duty cycle.
- Confirm voltage, phase, and available power.
- Identify current UL 325 generation versus older Elite/Omni equipment.
- Plan monitored entrapment protection, loops, access control, and warning signs before installation.
Professional Advisory
AC commercial swing operators involve line voltage power, moving gates, and required monitored safety systems. Installation and diagnosis should be performed by a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions
What is the difference between CSW200501UL and CSW200101UL?
CSW200501UL is the 1/2 HP version, while CSW200101UL is the 1 HP version. Gate rating and some application details differ, so verify the exact model before ordering.

Not always. CSW200 names are used across older Elite/Omni and newer UL 325 monitored safety generations. Verify the operator label and parts diagram before ordering replacement parts.
What safety devices are needed with this operator?
The site must use monitored entrapment protection devices required by UL 325 and the installation layout, such as monitored photo eyes and/or monitored edges.
