Remote reception and “noise”.

All kinds of things can affect remote reception. Radio frequencies (rf) can interfere, electrically noisy or faulty equipment generates rf noise which can prevent a receiver from getting the correct digital signal from your remote. A faulty receiver or faulty remotes can seem like the same thing sometimes. The wired inputs (keypad or intercom switches) open the gate but the remote is intermittently faulty, or you have to get real close to operate it. If this is happening to your gate, you may need to consider calling a technician (like myself) to investigate the cause – but try a new battery in your remote first!
