I guess the system is getting old most of the part need to be replace already.

On off button normally no need to off just leave it on.

Remote unable to function could be due to receive or remote battery getting weak.

Maybe time to get a new system since now most of it is wireless no need to pull any new wire if the old is not working already. Can consider going for Solar upgraded system or totally full solar which no need to worry about wire problem from inside the hse, wire push button dun work since mostly will provide provide wireless indoor wall push button. Only thing need to maintain is the backup battery because need it to run the system.

Anyway all the best

i not very sure about the age of the autogate.....
it my father in law house.....
they alway close the button before going to sleep....safety wo....

remote control battery shouldnt be issue as once it malfunction, all remote control cannot be use which can be use before that....
i thinking is the receiver part o the autogate battery is spoilt (inside the autogate box).....

actually got think of change the autogate system but still half hanging due to planning to make some changes to the car porch area & gate....
so wanna get it repair to use for some time first while thinking what to do for the car porch + gate (water filter + piping too since bypass car porch area) .....

Hi bro, would like to get some opinion....

my FIL using this MAG underground for quite some time.....
recently having issue of unable to fully open/close....
need 2-3time to close it properly.....
since the system are quite old d, not sure if he should get technician to check/repair or change the autogate sytem(autogate system alone/autogate system+gate)?

jz searching around only do i realise there are underground/arm swing/bulky(Dnor880) type....
which type are more recommended and why?
any brand are more reliable for long term use?
if with pricing include installation, are much better for consideration.....
btw, if the installer come to install the new autogate system, do them get rid of the old underground system?

hope to get some advice on this.....
thanks in advance ya.... notworthy.gif

try increase the timer for open and closing on the pcb

actually the left side fully open/close(with some extra time)....but the right side is stop moving even the left side still moving....
last time the previous technician do increase the timer for open/close too because the right side moving too slow compare to left....
plus can hear the sound like the motor like half dying..... tongue.gif

use multimeter to check if got voltage output to right side motor on pcb; in my case, the wire to motor1 was broken underground, so have to replace the wire

no idea how to dismantle plus dont have knowledge for this...
better let pro take care of it while utilise it before making decision...

If the old is very old already sometime is better to just replace it because u won't know what might go wrong with it after replacing one of the faulty part. Most customer would prefer replace the old system then replacing it because if one day u r in a rush to go out and the system give way again then headache already especially for old ppl.

For new system under grd seldom installer want to deal with already because a lot of work to remove the old system and install the new one. Arm screw type will be the most reasonable pricing and if u want simple use only open one or two n close. If Dnor Turbo 880 n DC Moto 924W is more on feature and better outlook n actually not very bulky because the arm is actually the slim type. Only thing for those arm screw or rotate u need a wider pillar to hold the motor bracket min 1 ft or u will need an extra bracket to add on to hold the motor bracket.

Normally up grade from under grd type installer will remove whatever that need to only.

Here is a sample of a recent project we done for our customer at Damansara Utama to replace his old under gnd system to Dnor Turbo 880

actually we do plan to install new underground autogate to replace the old one, but seem more practical to install non underground type for future maintainance...
spare part and service are more easier in long term,right?
but my FIL say insist underground autogate are more reliable and long lasting....really?
i wonder how they get those assumption? i dont see any different apart of ugly old fashion design.... doh.gif

frankly speak, we only looking for practical and reliable autogate for long term use....
feature n outlook not important as u can see the old gate are so out fashion but we only intend to change the autogate system for use....
now it take long/few time to open/close the gate are quite troublesome especially during rainy day & oso safety purposes..... sweat.gif

so far, dnor 212k and dnor880 seem quite ok for me....
but due to my pillar size, i think dnor 212k seem better as only require smaller place for the bracket.....
need to measure my gate n pillar size to see which type are more suitable replacement....

btw, anyone use MAG autogate before?
is it good?
my FIL insist of using the MAG autogate for replacement....
so far i only heard of DCMoto and dnor in forum....

Actually most of the system are good enough for any hse gate as long the system are install properly.

Anyway for those arm system is better to hv those with key release so will be easy to release the system for manual pull or push open close then the most lowest end model which only use allen key which u need to put something to block the gate when remove arm arm from gate.

Small pillar no problem for any system as long u hv the ready add on bracket to hold the motor bracket on the pillar wall.

Well std for user some old ppl they will prefer to use back what they use b4 then to hv headache later when going for other brand. For us especially those using DC Moto 925W model will not go for other brand model if replacing their old faulty unit or for their new hse or relative hse.

MAG model is actual OEM from OAE brand. As mention most of the gate system in the market is good enough for any hse gate as long install properly.
