The ALEKO LM172 is a wireless keypad access control system primarily designed for use with ALEKO brand swing and sliding gate openers. It provides a secure and convenient way to control access to a property by requiring users to enter a programmable 6-digit code.

Key Features & Specifications

• Wireless Operation: It’s completely wireless, eliminating the need for electrical connections to the gate opener. It operates on 3 AAA batteries.
• Frequency: It uses a 433.92 MHz frequency for communication with compatible gate openers.
• Security: Enhances security by restricting access to authorized individuals who know the programmable 6-digit code, reducing reliance on traditional remote controls.
• Durability: Features a rugged metal construction designed to withstand various weather conditions. Some listings mention heavy-duty iron construction.
• Visibility: Equipped with backlit keys for easy use in low-light conditions.
• Compact Design: Has a relatively compact profile (approx. 3.5″L x 3.25″W x 1″D or 4″ x 3″ x 3″).
• Range: Offers a typical operating range of up to 32 feet (10 meters) from the gate opener’s receiver. It’s recommended to install it within 5 meters (16 feet) of the control box on the same side of the driveway to avoid interference.
• Installation: Designed for easy installation, typically mounted with screws. It can be buried in the ground or fixed on the ground with a compatible mounting post.

Compatibility

The LM172 is largely compatible with:

• ALEKO Swing Gate Openers: AS/GG Series (e.g., AS450, AS600, AS650, AS900, AS1200, AS1300, AS1700 models).
• ALEKO Sliding Gate Openers: AR/AC Series (e.g., AR900, AR1300, AR1800, AR2200, AR2700, AR5700, AC1300, AC1800, AC2200, AC2700, AC5700 models).
• LockMaster Gate Openers: LM901 and LM902 Swing Gate Openers.
• DSC DSR SCG/SFG (H model only) Sliding Gate Openers: Purchased after July 2011.

It’s crucial to verify compatibility with your specific gate opener model, especially if you have older or non-ALEKO models.

Programming

Programming the LM172 generally involves a “Learn Mode” feature on the gate opener’s control board. The process typically includes:

1. Powering on the control board and ensuring it’s in standby mode.
2. Pressing a “LEARN” button on the control board.
3. Pressing the “OK” button on the LM172 keypad to link it with the gate opener.
4. Once successfully learned, the control board’s LED will indicate confirmation.

To operate the gate, you usually press a “PIN” button on the keypad, enter the 6-digit entry code (the factory default is often “888888”), and then press “OK”. The code can be changed by following specific steps outlined in the user manual. Each button press during programming must typically be completed within 1 second.
