I installed my RIGEL 4 and SUB R kit 14 years ago and this morning I found both gates closed and the RIGEL 4 controller with two burnt out relay. The first two from the left just above the motor connector plug JP6.
I opened the gates by by releasing the manual release valve.
I would now like to test the motors before connecting a replacement control board. Probably now a RIGEL 5.
I cannot find anywhere a winding schematic for the SUB motors. The three wires coming out of the motor are Blue Black and Brown and a 600mF capacitor goes across blck to brown.
I would have guessed that 230v goes across blue (neutral) and brown live. But what voltage goes across the black wire. A schematic of the windings would have given me the answer and the capacitor is probably for starting or reversing?
Any help appreciated as I want to make sure the motors are ok.
