Does this need a power source or wire from opener? Or is it wireless and battery?

Wire from opener. It hooks into the safety sensor feed, which also triggers the laser. Very easy, very cool and it comes with said wire.

It is wired to the opener. It is wired to the same ports as the reverse sensors. It is very simple and the instructions are easy to follow.

It comes with a transformer. If that's not your question, if you don't have an outlet you could tie into the garage door power and put one if your knowledgeable. It seems to me all the garage door openers I've had have transformers to reduce the voltage to the door opener button and the magnetic relay.

You will need to supply the wires for power to your battery! The wire for the remote control are supplied and have the plug molded to the wire. Just run the control wire and plug it into the back of the Deckhand. Hope this helps

Roger the control box that I received with my opener at two locations for charging the battery they were identified in the control box the one I hooked my solar panel up to indicated solar hookup I hope this helps. Have a good day.

We used a sealed lawn mower/wheelchair 12v battery. We, also, bought it to use with our automatic gate. The opener control arm package comes with a housing that won't allow for a larger battery.

The remote uses a 9V battery. It lasts a long time. My experience is that it will go for 3-5 years. It far outlasts the button batteries of the automobile openers.

I would not want to rely on solar power to operate a gate opener. I would use a 12 volt battery as a backup and either a battery tender to maintain the battery or you could buy a solar battery maintainer from Amazon to maintain the battery. A good 12 volt lawn mower battery should be sufficient.

You need power to engage the locking/unlocking deadbolt knob. Without the battery, you have to use the key.

No wires. Works like your remote garage door opener.. Good luck., The one I ordered was defective. They sent me another one that was visibly used and didn't work either.... I purchased the same brand from the local hardware store that worked flawlessly.

Power source only. You use a wired connection to set it up, then it is wireless.

I like the answers that include how could you charge it with out power. Solar/wind power plus a power inverter. It's just a small battery back up. I have just hooked mine up to 2 solar panels. I had the panels lying around to use but if I had to buy one I might have gone with a small wind turbine. If you are not going to operate the opener 50 times a day, you should be fine. Worst case get a larger deep cycle battery, I picked up one for my kids power wheel for $40 shipped from amazon. Not a bad deal.

The red thick wire should be hooked up to the power source the other one just leave it alone its the antena wire for the wireless remote

I'm sorry I can't help you with the information you need. When I replaced mine the one I was replacing was already Wireless. Your local garage door company should be able to help you with that question if they're willing to give up the information. A lot of times they won't tell you unless you're standing in front of them and they're pretty sure you're going to buy the new one from them. Good luck.

Yes. Just push down on the bottom part, under the cutting blade, and replace with a new battery. Make sure you place the new battery in opener the same way the old battery was installed.

There is not much involved to connect it... 2 wires to the wall wart (power supply) and 2 wires that go to the garage door opener itself and connect to its contacts for the receiver. I already had an external receiver so it was just a simple replacement, but you might have to find those contacts on you opener. The only thing that took me much time at all was programming the remotes for my two doors (the remotes I got were 3 button, able to work multiple devices).

This unit is powered from the voltage of the wire. No battery. There was is another model number that bruns from battery. I install those models. Just search it.
