Nice Swing Gate Opener - nicenotnice - 18-03-2025
Issue:
The swing gate arm (with a NICE800 board) is not fully opening. When the gate is closing, and any input (RFID or sensor) is triggered to open it, the situation worsens, and the gate doesn't open wide enough for even a small car to pass.

Steps Tried and Tested:
1. Replaced the arm – The gate arm was swapped out for a new one.
2. Used a new power cable – A new power cable was installed from the board to the arm.
3. Reconfigured/reset the board – The control board was reset to clear any possible configuration issues.
4. Relearned the arm – The arm was relearned, and it initially goes to the full maximum opening position during the learning process. However, after finishing, it only opens to the position shown in the provided photo.
5. Removed and relearned input devices – The input devices (RFID & sensor) were removed and then relearned to ensure proper configuration.
6. Replaced the gate hinges – The gate hinges were replaced to ensure smooth operation and movement of the gate.
