The automatic gate is a real convenience in everyday life, but how to solve an inconvenient situation such as that of interference with automatic gates? Here is the guide that will help you.
Automatic gate interference: understanding the origin of the problem
Automatic gates have an electric control unit to which different inputs are sent, but the signal that can have the most problems is the one transmitted by the remote control to the central motor, because it is on a frequency used by many devices.
The set of all electronic equipment traveling along the same frequency very frequently creates problems for your gate automation.
So, you have installed an automation for gates to finally avoid continuously getting off the car and manually opening and closing the gate even in the rain, but you have found yourself in the condition of not being able to operate the mechanism because there is interference at the automatic gate?
In this case you certainly have a problem with an external interference of radio waves that disturbs the transmission frequency of the remote control which is unable to correctly send the signal to the gate’s electrical control unit.
A real inconvenience but that can be solved in a short time. It is a classic difficulty that occurs especially in densely populated areas such as apartment buildings, where there are many radio devices that operate on the same frequency. The waves overlap each other and automatically create interference on the automatic gates.
The frequency most prone to this type of problem is 433.92 MHz, because it is occupied by many transmitters that are used every day, such as remote controls for cars and for gates and wireless alarms.
Other causes that can limit the wave are the presence of telephone repeaters and tower cranes on construction sites.
The interference problem not only causes the automatic gate to not respond correctly following the command, but in many cases, by continuously receiving signals of the same 433.92 MHz wave, it could open and close continuously during the day and night, also weighing on costs. of the current.
Automatic problem gate: the solution to interference
When the automatic gate does not open and does not close correctly, there is always an interference problem.
Are you thinking of removing the automation for gates and giving up the convenient opening via radio control, why are you tired of this discomfort?
Do not make this mistake because it is very easy to solve the problem of interference with automatic gates.
So what to do when the automatic gate has problems? Simple, just change the transmission frequency between the transmitter, in this case the radio control, and the receiver, that is the frequency card of the gate operator.
It is therefore necessary to move from the 433.92 MHz frequency to a less crowded band such as 868.35 MHz.
In the condition in which an interference on the automatic gates disturbs the opening and closing mechanism, an automation card must be installed that receives the 868.35 MHz frequency, and then all the radio controls in use are replaced with those with the new frequency and reconfigure them.
Once this step has been carried out correctly, the entire opening and closing system of the automatic gate will no longer have any interference problems.
