LiftMaster TECHNA PBG24DC Parking Barrier Gate Operator

Parking Barrier Gate Operator with 1.9-Second Cycle Time and myQ Facility Integration The LiftMaster TECHNA PBG24DC is a parking barrier gate operator rated for continuous duty in Class I, II, III, and IV vehicular access applications. With a 1.9-second open/close cycle at fast speed, it is the fastest operator in the TECHNA family and is built for high-throughput parking entry and exit lanes where cycle time directly affects queue management. The 24VDC brushless motor runs on direct drive with soft start/stop standard. The 10-gauge powder-coated aluminum cabinet carries an IP65 outdoor rating, mounts to a concrete base via pre-existing keyhole openings, and ships at 149 lbs including the arm bracket and two standard 12V 7Ah batteries. Arm length, speed, limits, and relay functions are all configured through the onboard LCD color display with no mechanical dip switches required. The PBG24DC connects to myQ Facility via Wi-Fi or Cat 5/6 Ethernet, with dedicated Parking SAS support for real-time occupancy visualization, vend and vehicle count tracking, and revenue optimization. TECHNA operators and compatible CAP equipment pair wirelessly over 900MHz for tandem and multi-gate configurations. The optional 3PHCONV transformer kit converts three-phase service (208/240/480/575 VAC) to the operator's 120VAC input. Standard battery backup uses two 12V 7Ah batteries; two 12V 33Ah batteries are available for extended standby. Key Features 24VDC brushless motor, continuous duty; 1.9-second cycle at fast speed, adjustable to medium or slow via LCD menu. Supports barrier arms up to 12 ft functional length in straight, LED, and articulating configurations; arms sold separately (see Compatible Barrier Arms below). UL listed to UL 325 and UL 991, Class I, II, III, and IV; fire department open input standard. Standard battery backup (2x 12V 7Ah) provides up to 5 days standby and approximately 500 gate cycles without AC power; upgradeable to 2x 12V 33Ah. Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity to myQ Facility with dedicated Parking SAS; vend, cycle, vehicle, and maintenance cycle counts visible on display. Magnetic arm strike sensor stops arm motion on contact and logs the event locally; push notification available when connected to myQ. Breakaway arm installation recommended; swingaway configuration also compatible with PBG models. Optional heater (model HTR) extends operating range to -40°F (-40°C).

Select by finish based on site requirements. White: PBG24DCW Dark Grey: PBG24DCG Compatible Barrier Arms (Sold Separately) The PBG24DC accepts straight and articulating LiftMaster TECHNA barrier arms up to 12 ft functional length. Only LiftMaster arms are UL listed with this operator. Straight arms support breakaway and swingaway installation types. Articulating arms pivot upward on vehicle strike to a set clearance height and are compatible with PBG models only; clearance height is measured from the base of the operator to the bottom of the arm in the open position. Straight Arms PBGARM10 – 10 ft standard arm, without LED PBGARM10LED – 10 ft arm with integrated red/green LED lighting PBGARM12 – 12 ft standard arm, without LED PBGARM12LED – 12 ft arm with integrated red/green LED lighting Articulating Arms BGARM10ART84 – 10 ft articulating arm, 84 in clearance height BGARM10ART98 – 10 ft articulating arm, 98 in clearance height BGARM12ART84 – 12 ft articulating arm, 84 in clearance height BGARM12ART98 – 12 ft articulating arm, 98 in clearance height Conclusion Three-phase facilities require the optional 3PHCONV transformer kit. For solar or extended standby applications, upgrading to 2x 12V 33Ah batteries (A12330SGLPK) requires the TRAY33AH tray and K41-0102-000 harness kit, both sold separately. Articulating arm clearance height is measured from the base of the operator, not from grade; confirm site clearance requirements before selecting arm length. For tandem gate installations, each operator requires its own dedicated internet connection to receive firmware updates. Cut Sheet Installation / User Manual
