Hi guys, wondering how easy to replace my old Autogate which kong already to something new like dcmoto gf925w. Is it able to DIY or must hire professional?
I just had my dcmoto Autogate installed and found out that the remote control and the wireless keypad itself is not that responsive. We need to press harder to confirm the action. If we just press is lightly, the light blink once and no action is happened. Is it normal?
DC Moto remote is running frequency so u hv to press a bit long for the board to receive the right signal, normally 2 second will do. Anyway their new remote is a bit troublesome now days after using for some time hv to knock a bit to get it working. The battery joint seem to be not connect properly, hmmmmm. Anyway their motor system are reliable. But now mostly ppl will go for Dnor Turbo 880 much easier to link to third party module.
Another way to know the board receive command or not is to activate the alert. The system will beep whenever the board receive command signal when alert is activated.
Thank you very much for your reply dblcss, I thought it was somehow broken in the beginning. You really made my day dlbcss.
Yes currently I turned on the beep alert sound so I know whether they key is registered or not.
There is one more thing whenever my Autogate is closing towards the end, it squeaked hard like over tightening nut sound. Wondering how do I solve it?
Would it be because my installer seemed like 1.5cm off from the reference pillar. By right should be 64.5cm but I measure seemed like only 63cm

Ha Ha Ha just adjust the stopper at the bottom of the motor. It's better to get installer who can provide full instruction on how to use and DIY trouble shoot minor problem. DC Moto 925W and Dnor Turbo 880 hv more feature which must be explain properly after installation. This model are not like those normal arm model which open one or two side then close that's it. For us we will need to spent at less another 30 mins to explain on how to use the system.
That's why a lot prefer cheaper installer then those who able to provide proper installation and explanation after full installation.
I’m sorry as I being cheapskate and eventually my neighbour helped me to install it.
The thing I realised is the panel is not align to 64.5cm as guided in the instruction, so wondering whether it’s the reason why I can’t use the knob below the motor to adjust the opening of gate, currently I using the floor rubber stopper to control the closing and the gate opening will stop when it hit my pillar instead of the knob below the motor.
So I’m thinking is it need to dismantle the c section thing and make sure it’s 64.5cm? Thanks a lot for your help once again. Really appreciate
Since hv rubber stopper then no need to worry when closing. For open turn cylinder stopper facing out side all the way to the end then push the gate until where u want it to stop opening and turn the cylinder stopper to touch the corner of the arm end so it will prevent the arm from moving anymore. After doing it for both side just press remote to open close the gate. That's how u control where the gate stop when opening and not until it hit the pillar like those under grd old system. If u dun adjust it now and let it keep pushing on the pillar end of the day u hv a broken gear bottom part soon.
Actually all the instruction is in the white pc of installation paper.
Thanks a lot for your guiding. But eventually the cylinder stopper is not long enough to stop. Any suggestion on that?
Ha Ha Ha that's a first. Yeah that's what u need to do dismantle all and fix back the right screw at the right place.
Yes unfortunately that's the cost that I need to pay
Thanks a lot for your advise and help dblcss, it really helps me a lot in troubleshooting and fix the problem.
And now VIOLA everything is settled (fingers crossed) after putting back the right screw and 64.5cm for distance of c bracket.
Anything that I could do for maintenance from time to time to make sure the motor last longer? Hopefully it could last me 5 years at least before needed to swap with new one again
Hi, is your problem solved? I dont think so its the stopper problem. Installer installed the arm bracket not long enough, probably did not measure it properly. IMO need to shift the arm bracket further out by 1" to adjust so that the black part cant be seen.
Hi bobowyc, yes eventually I solved my problem already.
I asked my installer to reinstall the bracket so that the black rubber wont be seen again by correct it to 64.5cm and reinstall the screw to correct position.
Viola, now the problem is solved and hopefully it last though.
Great! yup, required is 64.5cm. lol. probably installer was in a hurry? It will last because 64.5cm is their recommended length. I've installed a few and no complaints so far. The only complaint I had was motherboard spoil due to lightning strike, after that is okay already.
Thanks bobowyc!
Eventually I paid only RM200 to my neighbour to help me dismantle my old autogate and install this dcmoto. He eventually spend 4-5 hours to do it though.
But the down side is he refused to follow the guideline on the paper and install it by experience. So that's why the measurement is off from recommended and didn't install the screw accordingly.
You're installer as well? Any tips on the maintenance to make sure it last longer?
