Setting Up Your Control Board
After installing the actuator arm/s and completing the wiring, have the gate/s in
the open position.
If your unit is an ELECTRIC kit with a TRANSFORMER, turn your transformer
on now. The control board will make a “BEEP” sound and then run through
a start-up sequence which you will see on the digital display labelled MENU.
Wait 10 seconds for the control board to nalise this step.
If your unit is a SOLAR POWERED kit, connect the SOLAR PANEL to your
regulator and connect the battery up to the power cables. The control board
will make a “BEEP” sound and then run through a start-up sequence which
you will see on the digital display labelled MENU. Wait 10 seconds for the
control board to nalise this step.
If your control board came to you with compatible remotes, then they will
already be tuned in.
If converting from the D1 board to the EGA then you will have wired in your
existing receiver with the black remote and red/green buttons.
Below will not relate to you.

BMG will have the system set to match your

Adjust from 1 to 12, the higher the number,
the greater force required to stop the
gate. For heavy gates or long gates, you
may need to adjust this setting to a higher
number. The lower the number the easier
it is to stop the gate. For light weight gates
or short gates, you may need to adjust this
setting to a lower number.
The current of the motor running in the 12V
system is relatively large, it is recommend-
ed to set the value between 5-12 levels.

This adjusts the ramp down of the gate.
The slow speed can be adjusted (0 not
recommended as this puts extra stress on
moving parts). For long gates we recom-
mend the standard setting of 2.
This setting is for Dual Swing gates. You
can adjust the opening/closing delay
between the two motors. This is required
if you have an electric gate lock connected
to the control board or if you require Motor
2 to open rst and Motor 1 to close rst.
You can set this from 0 seconds (open and
close at the same time) up to 8 seconds.
Factory setting is 2 seconds and is recom-
mended even if a gate lock is not installed.
Auto close setting can be set from 0
seconds (factory setting) up to 99 seconds.
This setting allows you to adjust the output
to your optional electric gate lock. Factory
setting is 0 which is set for NO GATE
LOCK. If you install a gate lock, it is recom-
mended you set PA to level 3 (3 seconds).
This may need to be adjusted depending on
your gate setup.
If lock output is set 1 to 6, the lock will
activate rst for 1 second before the gate
starts, this is to allow time for the lock to
activate.

Factory setting Motor 2 will activate after 1
second to allow gate lock to release.
Setting PC to 1 will make Motor 2 reverse
(Close) for 0.5 seconds to help release
pressure off the lock before allowing Motor
2 to activate.
If you run safety beams, you will need to
set PD to 1. Factory setting allows you to
operate without safety beams.
You can adjust the soft start time of your
gate. This may need to be adjusted for
longer gates and heavy gates
If you have 2 gate opener kits on the one
property and are within 100 metres of each
other, your control board will be set to 01.
This will have your remote set to:
Gate 1
Button A – Full open/close
Button C – Party mode
Gate 2
Button B – Full open/close
Button D – Party mode
Factory set mode 01
This setting will put your control board
back to factory settings and put your unit to
Single swing gate. This would then need to
be adjusted to suit a double swing gate.
