The Yale Smart Opener is designed to receive power directly from a Garage Door Opener or Gate Automation device.

But on occasions with certain Brands, the Yale Smart Opener will require that you use an adaptor to be able to use it.

We recommend the  Normstahl Adapter box. This box can be used on the following brands and models below:

• Henderson Magic 600 & 1000
• Normstahl Magic 600 & 1000
• Entrematic Magic 600 & 1000
• Crawfords Magic 600 & 1000
• Yale Magic Magic 600 & 1000

Always maintain a line of sight to the gate or garage door to make sure no one should cross the path or stand in the path of the moving gate or garage door when using the Yale Smart Opener device.
