Gates not fully closing

[SamA]

Hi, 

I have underground Nice BM 4000 motors and a BFT Rigel 5 control box. One of the gate opens and closes fine, the other will only swing closed about 10 degrees before stopping. I changed the capacitors, could do with some advice on how to fault find on it. 

Thanks in advance, Steve 

Hi Steve,

I would start by running the motors in single mode, which is wiring the motor into motor 1 and leaving motor 2 out.

This will then allow you to pinpoint whether it is a motor issue or a output issue on the board.

As it is a 230v motor and not 24v, there is no encoders so i would recommend testing the resistance of the motor to see if it is too high or too low could also be a possible issue.

Kindest Regards,

Sam.
