Gate Problem

[DisainaM]

after having the problem, that the gate did not close anymore,

I discovered a minor animal problem.

 

I decided, to invest in a new g 10 controller board, and connected it.

After I realised, that there is a cabel connection problem with the right block

F -Foreward, R - Rear, C - Common, L -Lamp, N - neutral, and L - Plus  

 

I did a cable test bridge, where I connected a new F- Foreward and R -Rear.

 

As you could see in the vdo, it worked, but only one time.

The gate closed (without proper limit switch soft closing, it struck hard in the end position.

(in the vdo, after the gate closed, you hear a certain sound, that something of the motor was still working, I had to switch it off, with the remote. The same sound, I could hear now, when I try to open or close, but the motor is not starting)

 

After this, I was not able, to start the motor again.

The controller is working, the relais are snapping, I got the right 236 V

at the motor, but the motor is not starting.

 

Any idea ?

 

btw, living on the dark side of Na Jomtien area

maybe there is a fuse inside the motor housing..or the motor windings burnt out ?

Check your wiring again. Make sure everything is clean.

 

Release the clutch on the actuator and move the gate away from the stops and try again (if it hit the stop hard it could be stuck).

 

Does the gate go in the correct direction?

 

Are there any settings on the control board? 

 

Put some ant powder in the box.

when I press on the remote open, the second relais is snapping,

when I press close, the third relais is snapping

 

in the motorcase, the capacitor is connected with the F oreward and R ear Line.

Just a simple capacitor CBB60 SH 16uF 450V, with 2 lines.

 

 

ok, I don`t have the wireing diagramm from the motor, I just connect everything in the same system, like it was,

and in the vdo, it was working.

 

ok, I could change the capatitor, may be, its is the reason, and burned, after the soft switch limit was not working.

Certainly replace the motor capacitor, cheap and easy.

 

Check the fuse on the control board.

 

Are the limit switches actually working? (check with a meter and move the gate by hand)

thks crossy and johng,

I have to admit, that I couldn`t locate a fuse.

A new motor capacitor was ordered today.

The closing limit switch is working, its a red lamp on the controller,

and it`s on, when the magnet is too close to the receiver on the motor.

You move the gate by hand, and adjust the little screw, till you have the right position.

Tomorrow, I test the capacitor.

The fuse is under the black cover marked "BLX-A" next to the switch, bottom right of the photo.

 

Is the "open" limit also working correctly.

 

With the clutch disengaged does the motor run (once you've changed the cap)?

 

Check the gate does actually go the right way, if it banged the stop even with the limit switches working maybe it's opening when the controller thinks it's closing. Also set the force adjustments to "soft" so even if it does go wrong you're not going to hurt anything.

just read your posting, just came back from Amorn, where I got a new capacitor and installed it, - working fine.

Happy, to have the motor working, still have to check, why the gate is not closing soft.

Didn`t check the full opening, stop right before, have to find out, if the limit sensor is working or not,

and whats the reason, that my adjustment at the controll board has no effect.

 

I see the red light going on and off, when I did the adjustment and was  moving the gate,

but it didn't have an effect of the closing process right now (the same dramatic crash sound) 

 

 

So far, the main problem is settled, thanks for the advices.
