Remote Control Receiver
The key-fob signal receiver is built-in to the control panel has a range of up to 30M.
As the signal transmitted from the key-fob is a radio frequency, the signal quality and strength may be
hindered if the control panel for the gate automation is mounted onto a metal plate / bracket or is mounted
against thick concrete pillar, in addition atmospheric conditions (rain / fog) can reduce the strength of the
radio signal. Neighbouring radio signals, especially in built-
up areas, can impede the control board’s ability
to single out your key-fob
’s code.
If you find the range your radio receiver is having trouble with the interception of your key-fobs transmitting
frequency and code, a
MyGate Extended Aerial
can be fitted to your receiver unit.
Extended Aerial
– (optional accessory)
The Gate Motors extended aerial substitutes the
standard internal aerial to extend the range of
your transmitters to
80m
(max) in free field
conditions. Typically mounted on top of the gate
pillar, the 2M coaxial cable length makes this unit
easy to install on a variety of applications. Using
its “L” shaped bracket, the extended aerial is
very versatile as it can be mounted on top of
pillars, fence posts, or any other structure near
your gates that is elevated.
Fitting the Extended Aerial
Fitting of the Extended Aerial is very simple and effective.
Simply remove existing white aerial wire by using a small
flat head screwdriver to loosen its terminal screw and take out
the aerial cable.
Place the Extended Aerial coaxial cable into terminal 23
(Illustrated left).
Twist the braiding from the Extended Aerial and place into
terminal 22.
