Unrelated question on Nice Apollo 4300. If your main power supply goes bad, can you substitute an aftermarket 32v dc power supply? If not, why not? If yes, how many watts/amps should it be? Thanks 🙏
Even though no one has ever asked me that question before, you absolutely can use your own. The easy answer is: if you make sure to keep healthy batteries in the operator, you can use any 500mA or better transformer. But if you want to run the machine without batteries, I am not 100% sure but I would imagine it would need to be an expensive 10 amp power supply or better. I would have to ask the factory what the rating of their current power supply is. But I have never seen one of those machines pull over 7 amps ;-)
@@JacobGilliamMasterTech thank you. I called tech support and they didn't know the amp rating and the power supply is on back order. Since the merger, the original equipment specs and data is on short supply or not available :(.
Im having issues with my Nice 1050 control board, and Titan actuator... Issue #1: gate will close then open back up about 1 foot, yet it is set to soft close provides confirmation on the gate position (and no obstructions). Issue #2: Im unable to program my remote.
When the gate closes, does the limit light turn red before it backs up? Depending on which motor input is in use, it will be the LED immediately to the right of the label "Motor 1" or "Motor 2".
It could be 1 of 3 things that I can think of. 1) a weak battery (yes, I know it's hard to believe), 2) a short in the motor itself inside that actuator, 3) a low force setting on the control board.
@@JacobGilliamMasterTech Thank you so much for replying. So this just started happening. Battery power is good, unchanged varies between 12.8 and 13.6. We have not changed the force setting. Can we run the motor with the cover off while watching it? Can the motor only be replaced?
@garycrosby8984 1) amperage is the key to battery power and that can only be determined by a battery analyzer or a load test - voltage can be good and amperage bad (because of sulfide deposits on the lead plates of the battery). 1) yes, the motor can be replaced without replacing the entire arm. I would first have the battery load tested by any auto parts store (they do it for free), before doing anything else, because you could waste a lot of time and money if you don't.
@@JacobGilliamMasterTech Thank you for the insight I will get the battery tested first. I f I need a new motor where can I find the parts for that 912L actuator?
I have Apollo 1050 with Titan 912L. I went on vacation for three weeks, upon returning battery died. I replaced the battery and after that its been tough to make it work. I had to hard reset every day, it would run like 5-7 cycle (24 hours) and wont work. It will just click but wont operate. So, finally i gave up and switched to manual mode. Sun charger has good voltage as well as the battery is also new. Checked the Sensor and no obstruction but i am assuming since it runs to curb upon opening so must be triggers something. I tried with LEARN process to make it stop at the desired position while open but it didn't work. So let see, What would be ideal Static/Dynamic Value for this. I have a Single Swing Average Size gate. I will try to adjust the setting after watching your video from actuator and will see. Any input from you would be greatly appreciable. Thank you in advance.
The most important thing is to make sure both physical limits are triggered when the gate is full open and full closed. When in the closed position your limit LED light will be red, when in the open position your limit LED light will be green. If you do not see these light indicators as described, do not run the board through the learn mode and investigate why.

And sorry for the delay! I somehow overlooked your comment..

I have a 912L actuator keep getting a motor overload code. Arm moves freely by hand in manual. Any ideas???

@garycrosby8984 I doubt you need a motor. But message me if you do, and I will handshake you with someone.
