Dieffematic Gate Help - ChrisC29 - 12-08-2015
Hi wondering if anyone had any experience with these gate openers and could help me with a couple of problems.
After reading through another thread it looks like I can solve most of my problems with mechanical stops. Another problem I am having is with the speed of the gates, even after turning the trimmer all the way down they still seem to be quite fast. Especially in the beginning and end of the stoke, they start with a big jerk before slowing to a acceptable pace (which is still a little quick) before a final jerk as it comes near to where I wish them to stop.
I am not using the slowing feature as it doesn't seem to be slowing them at all. Am I right in think that turning them (the trimmer) to the left = slower? I also cannot understand after reading the manual what trimmer 3 is for. It says it controls the break time?
I have installed 2 capacitors as per the manual, if I was to remove these would it slow the beginning of travel down or would the motors fail to operate at all?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advanced.
