My husband and I installed the system ourselves. We had never installed a gate opener before. The AT1202 gate openers are easy to install if you follow the instructions in the user manual. They have been in use for over a year now. We added the TC175P keypad to our system so friends and family could have their own access codes. We decided to install the TC102 photo eye beam sensors because they open the gate if crossed while gate is closing, so we have more time to get through. Works great when taking the trash cans out to the road. We installed the ET24 electric gate lock but it seemed to not work quite right. We aren’t sure if we didn’t install it right, but it’s close. Our gates are solid, not a lot of movement so we thought we had it lined up as good as we could. It worked mostly, but the few times it didn’t release right while the gates were trying to open, we decided to unlock that permanently to keep from possibly damaging the gate actuators. Our gates close tight when they shut and so we find the lock serves no purpose in our application. Because our gates are at the other end of a steel bridge, the TEW3 exit wand had to be installed further than recommended so the bridge didn’t interfere with the wand seeing as metal is what triggers it to work. We added the TCS3 solar charge controller and TSP30W 30W solar panel charging kit in case we ever loose power. We have lost power a few times and the gates open a little slower when only using the solar side. They also didn’t open as far. But we were still able to get through. We are extremely happy to have the openers and so thankful we did it. Any little thing comes up, which has only happened so far at my wrongdoing, I email the Topens Customer Support with a description of my issue and they have always responded with help until the problem was resolved. When we were installing this system, I got frustrated a few times and it was reflected in my email to them, and they never gave up helping me. Review: A must have if you don't want to to let vehicles out with your remote all the time - Easy to connect. You do not have to bury it too deep either. I have mine located about 15' from center of driveway and works perfect everytime. Nice so people can just leave and let themselves out of the gate easily. ## Features - Reliable Quality - Automatically open your gate when the TEW3 exit sensor detects vehicles in motion. It triggers your gate opener to open the gate anytime the vehicles drive through the sensor's magnetic field of 2 to 12ft. Idea for your family and friends to go out without a remote or keypad, and enjoy wireless "Hands Free" exit of your property. It detects vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATV's, etc.), and the larger car or the faster driving speed will bring the higher sensitivity. - Multiple Applications - Designed to work with TOPENS automatic gate openers and is compatible with most Mighty Mule Ghost Controls LiftMaster gate opener systems. It supports any third-party gate operator whose control board provides 12-24VDC or 12-24VAC accessory power, and has Normal Open & Dry contact signal input. Recommended for residential, agricultural, and commercial applications. - Clever Design - The wand senses changes in the earth magnetic field caused by mass metal movements and then automatically opens your gate. User-friendly design, simply adjust the field area of sensitivity from 2 to 12ft. by turning of a knob. Coming with 50ft. long directly burial cable (a PVC jacket 5-core cable), the probe should be trenched and placed next to your drive. Cable gland prevents water from entering into the wand and avoids cable damages, ensuring a long-lasting performance. - Easy to Install - Wire directly to the control board of your gate operator. The probe can be directly buried underground to save unnecessary labor cost compared with the loop coil model. No earth grounding required. Generally install the wand at least 25ft. away from the gate, and buried 2” deep from ground and 8” from driveway edge. Prewired weather-resistant wire and easy-to-follow instruction are included for your peace of mind. - Customer Service and Technical Support - All the TOPENS products come with a 12-month war-ranty against defects, a 30-day exchange & return and excellent tech support. Visit TOPENS website for the user manual, installation video, and personalized service. TOPENS is ready to offer professional solutions for any questions or assistance.

You do not have to bury it too deep either. I have mine located about 15' from center of driveway and works perfect everytime. Nice so people can just leave and let themselves out of the gate easily. ### ⭐ Update!!! *by T***K on September 13, 2021* DO NOT BUY!!! Read complete review!!! Updating review 11/12/21. Customer service is amazing. They reached out to me, sent me a new one and followed up to make sure everything works. New sensor is working good with no issues. Shelley With Topens is by far the best Customer service agent I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. Update as of 4/29/2023 So the first initial wand failed within a year. Topens Customer support stepped in and made that right. So here I from purchase in 2020 to not even a year later having to dig up and replace this wand. This wand was replace in November of 2021. And now April of 2023, the Topens Wand has failed again. So i got less then a year from the first one, and a year and months out of the second one. So of coarse it is out of warranty, but tried anyways. And of coarse Topens will not warranty it, not because it is out of their 1 year warranty, but because there is not a warranty on the replaced item. Only the original purchase. So 2 wand that cost almost $200 can not even last 2 years without having to be replaced. The product is crap. Customer service was originally good, but if I have to replace this product ever year, then it is not worth the money to begin with, lets not forget that ever time this things STOPS working, I have to dig it up to replace it. DO NOT BUY!!!! Keep in mind, if their wand fails this much and this fast, how well do the rest of Topens products hold up. Biggest mistake ever made was Purchasing a Topens gate open system. Definitely will find a different brand when the main components fail. Which judging by the way their wands hold up, I am sure wont be much longer. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/118383664-topens-tew3-vehicle-sensor-exit-wand](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/118383664-topens-tew3-vehicle-sensor-exit-wand) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
