How to Troubleshoot a CP80 D5 or D3 Gate Motor When the Gate Does Not Run But the Relay Energise

When you activate the gate motor via a remote or any trigger device, and the relays energize but the gate does not move, please refer to the possible causes and solutions below:

Possible Causes:

• Faulty motor circuit
• Faulty motor relay / FET
• Motor fuse blown
• Fuse holder making bad contact
• Worn motor brushes
• Loose motor wire
• Faulty controller
  

Possible Solutions (On-Site Checks):

1. Motor Fuse:

   • Confirm that the motor fuse still has continuity.
   • If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 16/20A slow blow (5x20mm).
   • Ensure the fuse is making good contact in the fuse holder.

2. Motor Wires:

   • Check that the motor wires are securely connected to the PC board.

Further Action:

• If all the above checks are in order, take the motor to your nearest CENTURION branch for testing and possible repairs.
