Model GCU
Gate Control Unit
Overview
Step 3
The Gate Control Unit (GCU) can be paired with the
Gate Access Panel (GAPLM) to wirelessly control a
gate operator.
The GCU is compatible with various Liftmaster
Wireless Products.
NOTE: This step applies only if more than one GCU
is being used.
Up to four GCUs can be used. Each GCU will need a
different Identity. Set the Identity of the GCU by
changing the Dipswitches as shown in the chart
below.

Troubleshooting
There is an error tone when the GCU is activated.
The GAPLM or DAILM is not communicating with the
GCU. The GCU may be out of range. If the units work
properly when close together, the GCU may need to
be mounted higher off the ground or on a different
surface. Metal, trees, or masonry cause the most
interference.

If the units do not work when close together, the
GAPLM or DAILM has not been programmed to the
GCU. Double-check the GCU’s Identity (1-4) and
reprogram it.
For most connections the default setting of 1/2
second is best. However, for connection to yard lights,
cameras, etc. the device can be adjusted as to how
long it stays on.
Memory needs to be cleared.
Hold down the Learn button until the LED blinks a
total of 8 times.

Open Gate Configuration
Use this configuration when using the Gate System
as an open-only system, which automatically closes,
based on timer or a magnetic loop.
Enable the Auto-close feature on Gate Operator.
Connect the GCU as shown in Wiring to Operator
section. Refer to product-specific manual for wiring
