Repairing the V2 Bingo400-24V Swing Gate Motor
V2 is a well-known Italian brand in gate automation systems. Their products are popular in New Zealand for their reliability and performance. V2 offers a range of motors suitable for various applications, including residential and commercial gates. The V2 Bingo400-24V swing gate motor is a popular choice for double swing gates. However, like any mechanical system, it may require repairs from time to time. This guide will help you troubleshoot and repair the V2 Bingo400-24V swing gate motor.
Identifying the Problem
In my case, I had a double V2 Bingo400-24V swing gate where one side didn’t move at all. To diagnose the issue, follow these steps.
Step 1: Swap the Motor Wires
Start by swapping the motor wires on the control board. If the previously faulty motor begins to move, the issue likely lies with the controller. Inspect the controller thoroughly from both sides. Look for any signs of water or insect damage. If you find any damage, replace the controller.
Step 2: Check the Wires
Next, check the wires leading to the faulty motor. Inspect all connections, especially if there are any connection boxes. Refresh all corroded connections to ensure good conductivity. Corroded connections can prevent the motor from receiving power, leading to operational failures.
Step 3: Test the Motor
If the controller and wires are in good condition, the next step is to check the motor itself. If you have 12 or 24 volts motor, you can connect the motor wires directly to a battery to test its functionality.
The V2 Bingo400-24V features a plug similar to RIB motors. This plug is located at the bottom of the motor. If the motor is installed low to the ground, the plug may rub against the surface and become damaged. Here you can read some info about the repair of it. The plug contains four contacts, but only two are connected to the motor wires. These are the side contacts that are opposite each other.
Step 4: Inspect the Motor Internally
If the motor does not move when connected to a battery, you may need to take it apart. Carefully disassemble the motor to examine the inner connections and the condition of the components. Look for any signs of corrosion or damage, particularly on the motor leads. If you find corroded or broken parts, replace or repair them.
Step 5: Test Again
After addressing any internal issues, try running the motor from the battery again. Alternatively, you can connect the motor directly to the controller to see if it operates correctly. In my case, the motor still did not move. This indicated that the motor was likely faulty.
Final Options
If the motor is indeed faulty, check with the supplier to see if a replacement motor is available. If not, you may need to consider replacing the entire gate automation system.
