Identify which BFT motors - Miniman7tm - 13-03-2018
Hi I recently bought some used gates from a reclaim yard and they came with 2 BFT motors attached. I was looking into how much it would cost to buy the rest of the kit. But need to test see if they work first
Trouble is after searching the web I think they are Phobos motors unable to tell if they are 24v or the 230 version
Could anyone help me with some advise how to find out which they are. I don’t want put mains power to it to test if they are 24v
If helps their are 4 wires coming out of the cable
Blue
Black
Brown
Green/yellow
I can add pictures if helps
Thank you

Thanks for the reply George. Unfortunately not the same. I should of mentioned mine are for swinging gates not sliding.
Hopefully I have now attached some pictures

I thought I would update the post just on the off chance someone in the future had the same problem.
After some tests and endless internet searching I now know.
1. These are BFT Phobos motors pre face lift model
2. They are powered via 230v
3. BFT compatible control box originally Rigel 5 (now obsolete) So would need a Rigel 6 but they are exspensive. I have taken a chance and ordered a universal board and receiver that comes with remotes at less than half the price of the Rigel. Touch would it works lol
4. Motor Wiring as follows
Blue - Neutral
Black - Close gates
Brown - Open gates
Green/yellow - Earth
