US Automatic 050551 Premium Wireless Keypad Rugged Die-Cast Locking Aluminum
The US Automatic 050551 is the premium metal wireless keypad used for secure outside gate access on compatible US Automatic radio systems. It is a good choice for residential driveways, ranch gates, small community gates, service entrances, and other installations where a keypad is exposed to weather or public handling. The die-cast locking aluminum cover helps protect the buttons from casual tampering and weather exposure, while the 433.92 MHz wireless transmission allows the keypad to communicate with a compatible US Automatic receiver without running keypad control wires back to the operator in many installations. The keypad supports permanent user codes and temporary codes, making it useful for family, vendors, guests, and service access. It is not a universal keypad for every gate opener brand; the installed receiver must be a compatible US Automatic radio receiver.

Wireless keypad range depends on receiver antenna location, metal posts, stone columns, nearby electronics, and battery condition. For best results, mount the keypad where it has a clean radio path to the receiver antenna.

- A keypad does not replace required gate safety devices
- Do not assume compatibility with a gate operator just because the operator is 12V
