Aggregated specification data lists the Ghost Controls TDS2 as a 12V DC linear actuator system with an 18,000-inch-pound torque rating. Hardware analysis confirms the use of automotive-style limit switches, which mitigate errors associated with optical sensor interference. The "smart" capabilities are modular, requiring a 433MHz RF bridge to connect the proprietary control board to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
Material science analysis indicates a plastic gear housing designed for residential duty cycles. The system features SafeForce current-sensing technology, which monitors motor load to detect obstructions without the need for physical stop posts. Standby power consumption is rated as low, supporting extended operation in 100% solar configurations when paired with a deep-cycle battery and a 10W-30W solar panel.
Performance characteristics include:
- Soft start/stop logic for hinge protection.
- RF remote range exceeding 1,000 feet in optimal conditions.
- DC-native architecture for high battery resilience.
If the modular bridge design is not preferred, the CO-Z Remote provides a simpler, direct RF alternative for localized gate management.
The TDS2 is a modular mechanical platform within the smart gate controllers field.
