I'm trying to place an additional set of gate controls in my house for existing gates which are roughly 200m away. My gate controller is a CTR32. The manual is here:
https://www.knowledgebase.egates.co.uk/f...p?id=10686
All the features I want to install seem to be available on the controller I have.
1) An open/start button (normally open)
2) Gate open light (240v)
3) Blinker light to indicate opening/closing sequence (240v)
If the controls were being installed 5m from the gate I would be happy getting on with it as I'm competent enough to do the wiring.
What I'm not sure about is running cables 200m. I already have ducting all the way from the gates to the house, so the route is not a problem, however I'm unsure as to whether I need to make any special allowances for the length of cable run. I only want a very low-current light for the gate open and blinker indicators, so what sort of cable should I use for those and the open switch itself?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
