Your gate stopped working? Most people blame the motor. Sometimes it’s the board, a fuse or rock on the track.
Got called out to a property today, the gate had completely shut down. No movement, no beeps, nothing.
Pulled the housing open and it was obvious straight away.
The old control board was cooked. Ant damage had gotten into the components and moisture had done the rest. Out here in the Top End, if it’s not the wet season humidity getting into your gear it’s the dry season ants looking for somewhere to nest. Electronics cop it from both sides. 🐜
Swapped the board out for a new one, ran through the programming, set the force limits and tested the remotes.
Gate back to full operation. Happy customer. ✅
If your gate is doing anything out of the ordinary, get it looked at before it dies completely. A board swap is a straightforward fix. A full motor replacement is a much bigger cost.
