Remote control shutter door help please

Do you have to pair the fob with the reciever, like you do with a car fob blipper when you remove/change the battery.
I know some roller door remotes I've set, have a rolling code, which when paired with reciever allows you to operate up to 6 doors independently of each other.

Good chance KIAB has it.

Again.

Matt, the thing that goes 'click' every time you walk past is likely to be a sensor (prob IR) which detects if anyone is about to get squashed by the closing door. Since it clicks only when you block the sensor, the chances are it's working fine.

Does that control box make a click when you press the fob buttons - listen to it very carefully. (Or, is there another main control box anywhere, such as built in to the motor housing? If so, try listening there too.)

If anything goes 'click' when you press the fob button, that would suggest the fob is communicating ok - so the fault will be elsewhere. This might need a specialist in this type of equipment.

If the fob doesn't make anything 'click', then fair chance it's a 'pairing' issue as KIAB says (on some remote control devices, even removing the fob battery for too long can cause it to lose this. Or if there's been a mains power disruption.)

Find the exact make and model, and read how to 'pair' the fob. Follow the instructions to the exact letter.

First things first: put a NEW battery in the fob.

You may have checked the battery, and there may be enough in it to power the light, but not enough to send the signal as well.

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

I have a sliding gate to my property which was controlled by a key fob. Very handy. Snails made a home out off control box that sits next the gate and kept blowing up £200 quid pcb's.
So its manual slide now.

 

And the moral is.....replace home with a decent ip rated box the first time they squatted

 

If I had an electric gate I'd probably want to be sure the control box was fairly watertight.

I'm not an expert on it but, surely, if water can't get in then neither can snails?

 

The controller will have terminals for wired controls. I would try connecting to these to see if door will work, you know it's a receiver/pairing issue then. This assumes you haven't got two remotes and one is working. There may even be a button on the unit to manually open it?

Get the make/model. It may be on the PCB inside.

 

Good point Lec'. They almost certainly will have terminals for manual wiring too.

(A bit surprised if the owner doesn't have a manual already fitted - crazy to always be using the fob.)

I fitted a mid-range 'Liftmaster' gate opener and the large control box (also holding back-up batteries) lives outside - yes, it's 100% water - and snail - proof.

A similar Liftmaster garage door opener has a manual open/close button mounted near the door so's I don't have to rummage in my trousers. Unless I want to.

 

A good result is what matters

 

Very true.
