Play with the inching timing. Try from 1 sec to 10 sec

Should go for mid range motor arm. Those smaller arm will not last long with large or long gates.
Can give NICE brand a try.

NICE WINGO

No worries, DC Moto is just running 12-16volts. Very low voltage compared with other brand which runs in 24V. You’re looking somewhere 10 years above lasting. I’ve inspect those old DC Moto internal motor have more than half carbon brush left.

Technically any gate length less than 18 feet is very normal for stopping halfway as some DC Autogate comes with cushion stopping whereby it doesn’t sudden stop the motor by cruising slightly before it comes to a halt. I do not recommend those gate longer than 18 feet due to the weight and momentum force whenever the gate fold in action.

I advice my customer who own gate somewhere 20-25 feet folding gate to let it open fully as the system will automatically adjust its configured speed to slow down without damaging the internal gearbox.

AC/Batt : Steady light (AC power on), Blinking (Charging Battery), Lights off (AC power off)

This wired-keypad only sold with GFM 905 since 2008-2012

besides DC autogate, any other autogate offer the actual lock at the middle of the main gate?
Thanks

If not mistaken is none, as those tube type circuit boards no longer support centre locking mechanism. The centre lock was first introduce way back in the early 90’s underground motor. Technically nobody use centre lock mechanism anymore, the motor itself have locking mechanism. Is pointless to install a lock since the theft could just climb from the side after all.

Thanks.

It's more for securing the car from theft, as the auto gate arm can be easily pull open by force.

can I know what is the budgetary costs for a delux foldable autogate for around 20ft wide (inc of removing existing foldable gate) ?

There was a cctv footage, happened in malaysia.. The thief managed to force open the gate until around 1 feet opening. The thief tried to sneak out a motorcycle but the gate opening is not wide enough. The motor stucked between the gates opening. The thief tried even harder after he noticed the owner has seen him and is about to chase him but the gate's opening was not getting any bigger. The motor still stucked. Finally, the thief fled. The video was viral a few years back.

In my opinion, the autogate can be forced open but once the motor jammed, it cannot be forced to open any further. Yeah, i know, we dont want that to happen - we dont want to damage our autogate..

hi, i went to fair and get a quotation from delux unigate, trackless folding gate.

the price is on the highh side, is delux worth the price?

any other brand or company that u guy recommend?

Check 1 page earlier and enquire from dbclss

The autolock is quite useful for those swing or folding gate. If added on it will prevent the theft from easily access by pulling or just derail folding gate and walk in. It's just the matter of making their job more difficult. Another option can add magnetic sensor to ur gate link to ur wire or wireless alarm system, the alarm will trigger once the sensor are separate a part. First alert if they pull open apart or derail ur gate.

So the autolock and alarm magnetic sensor is a better option then the autogate photo beam alert function.

Whats the recommended gate width for 2 cars to be able to go in and out side by side?

You’re looking somewhere RM 15-20k plus which is very expensive for a piece of gate.

15 feet and above is the recommended gate length for 2 cars to park side by side. If your front is 20’ you can maximise up to 18’

Hi guys,

Nowadays we have smart IoT controlling many devices through Amazon Alexa or Google..

It will be nice if we have autogate that can be controlled by a voice ..
you are about to arrive to your house,
grab you phone & talk,
You: “Hi Alexa”
Alexa: “Hi What can I do for you”
You: “Hi Alexa, open my gate”.

Your phone send the signal to Amazon cloud.
Amazon recognise your voice & send a comman back to your home smart device controller.
Your gate is opened.

Similarly when you want to close the gate.

Do we have that smart autogate in Malaysia?

Well can just add sonoff third party to any autogate system and u'll be able to do that and DC Moto also came out with their own IoT module to hv full feature control of their autogate system. Sonoff can use their own or other third party app to control using voice command.

But seem like we'll be getting lazier with all this voice command app. Like in the cartoon Wall-E. No need to get up at all just sit down and become FAT.
