Hi all.. i am using DC motor...
Today my neighbor house got install new motor and i ask the guy come and help to screw the housing of the PCB board back to wall... when he open the housing he check battery and told me battery spoil already. So i ask him to remove battery since i was told the gate should be able to work with house electricity supply.

Now my gate can no longer open fully. After opening about 70% it will automatically stop. Both left and right gate same issue.

Anyone knows if somehow got settings i need to change?

I call back the guy.. he told me tomorrow he will try install new battery and maybe it will fix the issue... haizzz...

thanks both...
so update, and i learn something new today also...
actually, my previous battery apparently already kaput....i left it there and the gate works as normal...

but yesterday took out the battery and then end up the gate cannot fully open...

so today the service guy came and install the battery and my gate not works like normal again...

very strange, assuming if my old battery already KO (the service guy showed me, he shorted the battery terminal positive and negative and nothing happens), so it looks like the system needs to somehow detect a connection to the battery regardless if the battery is working or not?

i'll also try to take note now and replace it every 2 years...i was charged RM90... noted on the RM50 from shopee.

Thanks!

For all type of autogate system is advisable to replace 2 years ++ to prevent damage battery from short circuit the board.

If the system board act kind of funny can try off the main supply for 5-10 second to reset the board. After that can on back the system and try open close a few time to see the system can go back to normal function. First open will be slow dun worry because calibrate the gate pressure, when close back normally will go back to normal speed.

All DC system can work without backup battery but something some board need to put in backup battery to run properly due to not power to motor.

SLA battery goes kaput around 2 years plus.

Some of the board needs the battery power to drive the motor as the AC power is being used to charge the battery  only and doesn't have enough output current to drive the motor despite converted down to the required DC voltage level. The battery is cheap about RM50 only from Shopee.
