Do you think splicing 100' of wire onto a GTO exit wand would work?

I know that when my girlfriend got spliced, it destroyed our magnetic field. Seriously, I'm a 3 or 4 out of 10 on electronics knowledge, not even a skilled amateur, but this reminds me of "No user-serviceable parts inside". It depends on who the user is. I even saw that on a Black & Decker tire pump, on the plug for the cigarette lighter. I drilled out the rivets, replaced a burned-out fuse, and it's worked fine for 10 years now. The product you write about seems intended for corporations and rich people. I'll bet it's a way to squeeze another 150 dollars out of you. (They won't exchange what you bought for the longer one because you buried yours already and it's dirty?) Oh, yeah, the technician might even believe what he told you even if I'm right. It would be easier to do a nice splice if you offset the individual splices an inch or so from each other. To the other people here, any reason he can't use one sheet of alimumim foil to shield everything all at once. If you're burying it when you're done, silicone tape, I think it's called, is even better than heat-shrink tubing and doesn't slip on, it wraps on. Stretch it to 2 or 3 times its length, then wrap while streched and within a few days it merges into one big probably waterproof blob. Hard to find though.

A device like the one in this thread is used to allow people to exit the gate. John

Both work fine for the owner of the house, but not for guests. Guests enter via the outside-the-gate intercom keypad. But the gate closes 25 seconds after being opened. When guests leave, the exit wand triggers the gate to open.

Each of the four 16 AWG multi-stranded wires arrives from the factory stripped of about 1/4 inch at the ends and tinned solid. We just screw those four wires plus the shield into connections on the gate opener motherboard.
