{"product_id":"liftmaster-mpel","title":"LiftMaster MPEL Post-Mounting Plate for Compatible Gate Operators","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe LiftMaster MPEL mounting plate provides a mounting platform for specified LiftMaster gate operators installed on posts. It is useful when the approved installation calls for a post-supported operator instead of a direct pad-mount arrangement. The manufacturer mounting sheet covers CSW200UL and SL3000UL series layouts, with different positioning requirements for the swing and slide applications. Choose the plate as part of a planned mounting arrangement that accounts for post dimensions, support structure, operator alignment and service access; supporting posts are separate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel or selection point\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility requirement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSW200UL series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse the swing-operator layout in the MPEL instructions and the exact operator manual.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSL3000UL series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse the slide-operator layout; do not reuse swing-operator positioning dimensions.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-inch round-post arrangements\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe instructions show inside and outside configurations; spacing depends on the chosen layout.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-inch square-post arrangement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA welded configuration is illustrated; foundation and welding requirements need installer review.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOther operators\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot confirmed by shared brand or apparent bolt-hole alignment.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlan the Mounting Layout Before Setting Posts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePost spacing establishes where the operator sits relative to the gate and drive mechanism.

Those are site-specific installation decisions. When comparing an existing mounting arrangement, provide the operator model, post dimensions, spacing and photographs showing the gate’s travel area.
