Enhancing your Aleko gate operator system with two-way intercom functionality is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps and considerations for selecting and installing an intercom that meets your needs.
Step 1: Choose Your Intercom Features
Start by deciding on the features you need in an intercom system. Aleko intercoms are designed to integrate seamlessly with your gate operator using a simple two-wire connection. Whether you prefer an app-enabled system or a more traditional wired intercom, you have options to suit both residential and commercial applications.
Step 2: Understand How the System Works
When you press a button on the inside intercom or use an app connected to the intercom, a relay is activated. This relay closes its contacts to complete a circuit, which in turn opens the gate. If you’re already using a wireless gate opener, you can continue to use it alongside your new intercom system without any conflicts.
Step 3: Determine Your Gate Type
Aleko offers two main types of gate operators: swing gates and sliding gates. The wiring terminals for connecting an intercom differ between these systems.
Swing Gate Operators
For swing gates, connect the intercom to terminals 19 and 20, which are labeled "O/S/C" on the control board. Once connected, the gate operator will alternate between the following actions each time you press the gate button on the intercom or app: open, stop, close, stop, open.
Sliding Gate Operators
For sliding gates, connect the normally open relay contacts of the intercom to terminals in section 14 of the control board. Specifically, connect them to the G and GND terminals.
Step 4: Select the Right Intercom System

Why Upgrade to an Intercom System?
Adding an intercom system enhances the convenience and security of your gate operator. With two-way communication, you can screen visitors before granting access, while app-enabled systems allow you to control your gate remotely from anywhere.
Final Tips
Always refer to your Aleko gate operator’s manual for specific wiring diagrams and instructions.
If you’re unsure about any steps, consider consulting a professional installer to ensure proper setup and functionality.
