General Information

The gate was approved by the homeowners at the May 28, 1995 Annual Meeting to improve park privacy and security, and placed in service on September 19, 1996.  The gate was inadvertently constructed on CalTrans property without permission.  In 2013 few disgruntled residents contacted CalTrans asking the gate be removed.  CalTrans did not object to the gate, but requested to establish an agreement with OFSRA.  However, OFSRA refused to negotiate with CalTrans.  The gate and gate house were subsequently removed and demolition of the foundation and other supporting structures was performed the week of April 19th 2014.  Construction of the new gate site further down the road began the next week.

All traffic entering the park is monitored by a surveillance system.

The gate is opened by:

• Remote Control - Remote Controls are available to park homeowners for $55.00 each and service providers at the discretion of the park for $100.00 each.
• Gate Card - Gate Cards are available to park homeowners for $35.00 each and service providers at the discretion of the park for $75.00 each.
• Gate Code - Temporary Gate Codes are $25.00 each.  Temporary Gate Codes are issued for cabin construction or repair and lodge rental events at the discretion of the OFSHA, and good for a maximum of 90 days, but may be renewed once free of charge at the discretion of the OFSHA, by sending a request to the OFSHA's e-mail address or leaving a message on the OFSHA's phone.  Gate Codes can be revoked at any time without notice at the discretion of the OFSHA.
• Call Box - Guests may call residents from the call box at the gate house by typing the resident's 3 digit code or by selecting the resident's name from the list and pressing "CALL".  The guest may then request the resident open the gate.  If the resident agrees, the resident opens the gate by pressing 9 on their telephone, also ending the phone call.
• Exiting Traffic - The gate opens automatically for traffic exiting the park.

Gate Cards, Remotes, and Codes must be requested directly by the homeowner, and Gate Codes will be issued only to the homeowner.

The homeowner is responsible for all those using Remotes, Cards, and Codes issued to that homeowner.

To request a Remote Control, Gate Card, Gate Code, or change in your listing on the Call Box, send an e-mail to message@sierraparkservices.com, or leave a message on the phone (209) 533-7909.  E-mail is the preferred method.  Send your check to OFSRA, P.O. Box 293, Mi Wuk Village, CA  95346.  Response time may be greater than one week.

During property sale or transfer, all Remote Controls and Gate Cards should be given to the new owner.  The new owner must contact the park and provide the device codes of all devices received.  All devices not registered within 10 days of closing will be removed from the system, effectively deactivating them.

The gate may be opened and left open for the following conditions:

• Slippery pavement exists or is likely to exist near or at the gate.
• Park hired contractors or service personal are expected.
• Emergency personal are expected.
• Gate service is being performed.
• Power failure.

Entry Cards

The system uses proximity entry cards and a proximity reader.  To use the proximity cards, simply hold the card within 4 inches of the card reader.  It is usually not necessary to remove the card from most wallets or purses.

Proximity Card		Proximity Card Reader

At the May 2012 OFSRA Board of Directors meeting it was decided that all of the old “contact” entry cards would be DEACTIVATED ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2012.

The system that supported these cards could not be repaired or replaced if it broke.  These old “contact” cards can be replaced by the newer “proximity” cards at $10.00 for each “proximity” card.  Please mail your old style card(s) and check payable to OFSRA for the new “proximity” card(s).  Send your request and check to OFSRA, P.O. Box 293, Mi Wuk Village, CA  95346 Please see the facsimile of the old “contact” entry card below.



Touch Plate Card (Old “contact” card no longer in use)

The background behind “DOOR” is royal blue and behind “KING” is black.

Director Wallis moved that anyone having six or more entry devices, please contact OFSRA, P.O. Box 293, Mi Wuk Village, CA  95346 to explain which kind of entry devices they have and the reason why they have more than six.  If response is not received, any devices over the six will be arbitrarily deactivated.

At the June 2012 OFSRA Board of Directors meeting, Director Ordwein wished to remind residents that Board approval is required to obtain any more than 6 gate openers per lot.


Remote Controls

The transmitter range is 75-100 feet. To use the remote control, simply press the transmitter button for 2 seconds to send a signal, the red light will light-up.  The transmitter sends a signal for 2 seconds preventing the transmitter from jamming the receiver if the button becomes stuck in the ON position.

Remote Control Battery

When a malfunction is suspected, replace the battery.  This device uses a 12 volt Alkaline battery (Duracell MN21, Rayovac 23A, or equivalent).  The manufacturer of the remote claims that under normal use, this battery should last 12 to 18 months, although practical experiance shows that many of these batteries last in excess of 8 years.  These batteries are available at many places including; Walmart, Lowes, and most hardware stores.  Charles Varvayanis also has these batteries available in the park for $7.50 each.  Contact Charles at charles@varvayanis.com, or (209) 586-3782.  This service is independent from the park.

Battery cross reference: 12 volt Alkaline battery 1.12" x 0.406" / 28.9mm x 10.3 mm, NEDA 1811A, I.E.C. 3LR50, Duracell MN21, Rayovac 23A, Eveready A23, Energizer AG23, Gold Peak (GP) 23A, Sony 23A, Sanyo 23A, Kodak K23A, Vinnic L1028, Panasonic LRV08, AWI: L01, Varta V23GA, and Renata VR22.

To replace the battery, perform the following steps:

• Remove the phillips head screw from the back of the transmitter, then carefully remove the back of the transmitter case.
• Remove the old battery.
• Install the new battery being sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends are positioned correctly.  Use only a 12 volt battery (Duracell MN21, Rayovac 23A, or equivalent).
• Replace the transmitter back and secure with the phillips head screw. Do not over tighten.

Gate Administration Notes

Important: Each card and remote has a unique "device code".  When ordering cards or remotes it is important that the first "device code" is one (1) greater the highest "device code" in an existing series.  This requires special ordering of the devices.  There is no addition charge for this, but it can take 4 to 6 extra weeks for delivery of cards, but causes no delay for transmitters.  Caution: Card seller sometimes offer quicker responce time if devices are purchsed out of sequence.  DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP!  We only have 1 of the 10 ranges of devices remaining unused in the software.  Once the devices arrive, adjust the "Device Associations" to include the new devices in the "Device Enable" section of "System Information" in "Remote Account Manager".  The reason for this is described below.

Software Version 6.1 of the "Remote Account Manager" allows for ten (10) ranges or "sieres" of cards and transmitters.  As of 2012 nine (9) of these ranges were in use.  To program, go to "System Information" and then go to "Device Enable" in "Remote Account Manager".  "Device Enable/Device Association" is used to differentiate between contact cards, transmitters, and proximity cards in the "Residents" screen (C, T, or P) and in reports.  If additional ranges are required and the system is out of ranges, some of the existing ranges can be merged.

Additional and proprietary information can be found in the gate section of park's electronic document storage systems.  See the most current version of "Gate Notes – MM-DD-YYYY.txt".

The gate hinge bearings include grease fittings.  These bearings should be lubricated quarterly or ideally more often.

The batteries in the DC openers in the gate operators have a life expectancy of three (3) years.  These batteries should be replaced at regular three (3) year intervals.  It is best to replace the batteries prior to the onset of winter, when they are needed the most.  The replacement schedule is: 9/2021, 9/2024, 9/2027, 9/2030, 9/2033, etc.  The battery is a 12 Volt 7 Amp Hour Lead Acid Gel Cell with F2, 0.250” or 1/4" Fast-on (slide on) terminals.  CAUTION:  Most 12 Volt 7 Amp Hour Lead Acid Gel Cell batteries sold have F1, 0.187" or 3/16" Fast-on (slide on) terminals which are too small.

In our application, the gate operators have a life expectancy of about ten (10) to twenty (20) years.  The "Gate Reserve Fund" should be funded and maintained to accommodate this expected expense.  The gate operators were replaced 1/2008 due to wear and damage from a lightning strike.
