Are you using NX-12 PCB board that has 4 channels remote control? Does 4 channels remote control really useful than 2 channels remote control?

Nope, don't know which board i am using. Mine is 2 buttons and sufficient for me. There are more advance pcb, if you know how to install can replace it anytime. Can buy from any autogate parts shop.

How about other brand of auto gate? Can i replace PCB like you did?

Many local brands use same PCBs. You need to ask the installer. Because the driving voltage to the arms are common.

For Brand like DCMotor not sure.

You can search in lelong, few seller only sell parts. Price wise is slightly more expensive compare to outside shop.

I see some brands of motor operate at DC 18V and 12V and some other brands operate at DC 24V and 12V. Does it mean bigger Volt moves faster?

Yes, that is what i notice too.

I think DCMoto uses 12v

Anyone using FAAC 746 autogate ? Ive given local model by developer but planning to upgrade to this . Looking for price and reviews

If it's running without issue why want to upgrade?

Given free by developer but its not installed yet . I have the option to upgrade by topping up money either faac or genius which both also imported models . The box of the free unit looks very lousy .

Thank you frds for your support. Hope the motor will treat you all well.

Anyway all the best for your future challenge.

someone told me 24V motor easily get hit by lightning. Is this true? Any experience to share?

Lighting got Nothing to do with voltage.

Solar powered GFM925W Finish add it just now. No more 240v. 100% solar energy.

The system installed by dblcss 3 days ago.

Attached thumbnail(s)

anybody installs JackPro autogate at home? JackPro good in advertising their product. They make video to promote their autogate. Three years warranty is given. Any current or former user would like to share your experience?

Good lah you. Make sure got sun everyday friend. If not later have to claim the gate.

Already calculate... 12v SLA battery alone can power the gate motor for at least 3 days (at least 10 open & close operation per day) before the battery really need to be recharge. I've tested with continuous 30 times open & close operation without significant slow down of the gate movement.

The solar panel solely just for charging / top up the 12v SLA battery. Not for motor operation. Anyway, the sun always there to charge the battery.

The panel that I use is rated 10w. Should take 8-10 hours of sunlight to charge the battery from zero to full. Nothing to be worried.

Hi haturaya,

Mind to share the cost of the GFM925W + Solar set-up? I will need an auto-gate in 3-4 months time.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is the cost breakdown:

1. GFM925W with standard installation - RM1350
2. 12v 7Ah SLA battery - RM50
3. 10w solar panel - RM90 10w Solar Panel
4. 5m solar cabling + MC4 connector - RM40 Cabling
Total - RM1,530
