TOPENS offers a comprehensive range of automatic swing gate openers designed to accommodate various gate sizes, installation environments, and power requirements. While these models share many similarities, they differ in key features. This guide compares power options, motor arms, control boards, opening angles, and smart capabilities to help you choose the most suitable system for your installation.
1. Default Power Supply Options
TOPENS swing gate openers support flexible power solutions, including AC power, battery, and solar power (depending on the model).
Models ending with “S” include a solar kit.
A. AC-Powered Models (Solar / Battery Optional)
A5131 / A8131 / AT6131 / AT12131 / XD551 / XD851 / A5132 / A8132 / JY9132 / XD552 / XD852
- Include UPS01(A) uninterrupted power supply
- Operate directly on AC power
- Support a 24V battery as the main or backup power source
- Compatible with solar panels (not included)
- UPS01(A) charges the battery and regulates solar charging current
Best for: Properties with stable AC power that may require battery backup or future solar integration.
PW302 / PW502 / PW802
- Powered by 100–240VAC using the included DPS180-U power supply
- Optional 24V battery and solar panel (not included) are supported
Important: The DPS180-U cannot be connected directly to batteries or solar panels. If battery charging or solar support is required, replace the DPS180-U with the UPS01(A) adapter, which provides both battery charging and solar regulation.
Best for: Installations using AC power only.
AT602 / AT1202 / KD702
- Direct AC-powered systems with built-in transformers
- Optional 24V battery and solar panel (not included) for backup power

- AC power cannot operate the system directly
Optional: If stable AC power is available, an optional UPS01(A) power supply can be installed to enable direct AC operation.
Note: The TS24-U adapter only charges the battery through the control board and cannot power the system directly.
Best for: Off-grid or fully solar-powered installations.
2. Motor Arms & Gate Capacity
Motor power determines the maximum supported gate length and weight (per gate).

| JY9 Arm | 100W | JY9132 | Super Heavy Duty | Max. 20 ft / 220 lbs or 5 ft / 1300 lbs |
(Swing Rating of XD852 Smart Gate Opener)
Note: The maximum gate weight decreases as gate length increases. For example, the XD852 can support a gate weighing up to 880 lbs for a 4 ft length, or up to 220 lbs for an 18 ft length. Refer to the user manual for complete specifications.
Key Differences:
- “A” series - Compact design, ideal for tight post spacing
