TS,
how's your gate now? Did the installer able to limit the swing angle?

I wonder whether most autogate swing will only be stoppped by rubber stopper or is there any setting that can control/limit the swing angle?

I'm asking because my autogate was broken (the motor gear's teeth were broken). Since it's out of warranty, I brave myself to open it and send the broken part to the seller, get the replacement and put it back by myself.. Phewww.. it's working and I save myself the service charge. BUT, I found the the gate opening will only stop once it hits the rubber stopper that I put near the gate. I never notice how it behave before this. I wonder whether that's the way how the gate stop or there's an adjusment button inside the controller. I opened the controller box and found no adjustment knob for controlling the swing angle limit. What I can obviously see are "slow speed time", "fast speed time", "left motor high current cut-off", "right moto high current cut-off" & "total time on".

Anyone care to share their knowledge? Tq

Tq for all your response.. Currently, as gunh mentioned, my gate stops like that.. But I don't like this way because once once it hits the obstacle/stopper, the current will increase. The controller detects the current increase for a few seconds before it stops the gate. This will
increase the current consumption / TNB bill. I want the gate to stop by itself at certain angle, just before it hits the rubber stopper, so that I can save the electricity. I wonder how to do that... Hmm..
