I've tried to clone this remote with 2 new remotes but neither work, although the copying procedure does seem to complete properly as per the instructions in the manual

I've inspected the receiver card in the motor enclosure and it appears to be a Beninca SCR receiver. When downloading the manual for this it only references a frequency of 868mhz.

I've checked all the documentation regarding the ON2E transmitters and they only mention 433mhz, which is confusing as the working remote appears to be a standard model.

Has anyone got any experience of this, as I'm confused  ?]]>

Horizontal fittings are attached to the gate post and when opening from CLOSED to OPEN across the required 90 degrees, this gives the ram operator the required angle and to pull and retract.  However, the hinges of the gate are set so that when opening, the gate rises to cope with the steadily rising drive when entering the property.  

This has always produced unwanted stresses on the typical fixed fitting that is bolted to the mid-point of the gate because the ram does not follow a completely horizontal trajectory during its movement, leading to distortion of the fitting and the bolt through the gate.  Does anyone know where to obtain a more flexible fitting at a reasonable price perhaps using ball & socket or alternative connection between the two objects?  I've looked but solutions appear to be for robots!

There must be many driveways that are not horizontal and we cannot consider a sideways gate operator.
Many thanks

I can open the release handle and it levers down the release pin but not far enough. I could see everything is at least moving inside when I opened the arm up - nothing is seized. The manual release doesn't work because the motor remains engaged. It appears the release pin (a little vertical rod which gets pushed down by the release handle) doesn't push the clutch away from the worm drive far enough. Looks like it needs ~2mm more vertical movement on the release pin. Is there an adjustment mechanism somewhere? There is also a spring inside the clutch (worm wheel assembly) although you can't actually see that - is that something that gets worn? It still feels springy. Any tips would be great.

I have now removed the release handle and also tried replacing the brass coloured release pin (you can see the domed tip of it in my pic attached) with a long bolt which I then pushed down hard as far as it would go. Even with presumably significantly more vertical movement on this release pin, the clutch is not releasing. Anyone else had this trouble and know a solution? I suspect it may be quite common. I'll open the whole thing up later this week and check the internal mechanism but I can drive the motor forwards and backwards with a 12V supply no problem.

Bought a house last year with a "Nice" Robus RB600/A gate motor.

Found/read the installation manual and lots of youtube videos...but missing maintenance info stuff you would usually find in a service manual (disassembly/re-greasing, etc).

In particular, the stupid deep screw (that always gets corroded) holding on the motor cover... I know I likely have to drill this out (the motor is from 2014 and boroscope shows what you would expect).... but before I do that, can someone tell me what type of screw head this was original?  Allen head, phillips, pozidrive, torx, etc...and what size?  Would rather take a crack at unscrewing it with the right bit prior to taking a drill to it.

Thanks!

I have CAME ZM3E with 2 ATO swing gates.
All was working before the below, for at least a year.
The below detailed tests can be repeated on the other gate if I switch the power and Encoder plugs around ( ie gate 1 becomes gate 2 and vice versa ). ie seems not a gate motor issue.
I have tried manually closing the gates and turning off the pwoer for ~2 mins to see if a reset happens - didnt fix.
I did a 'reset' on the menu to see if that helped - nope.
all done with sensors turned off.
Any ideas ?
.
tests to try and bottom out.
(1) with gates fully open -> set encoder ... gate 1 closes  ~15 degress ; gate 2 closes fully then opens fully ; gate 1 opens the ~15 degress back to the original start position ( encoder error on screen for gate 1)
(2) gate 1 manually partially closed by ~45 degress .... same as above
(3) gate 2 open and gate 1 closed or partially open ... repeated press of open button on keyfob opens gate 1 by ~15 degress each time button pressed until fully open.
(4) turn gate 1 to manual ... whether encoder or manual press, can her gears whirrring for just what is probably 15 degress if engaged - ie no attempt to keep going.]]> hoping someone has an idea about my issue ...
