Believe or not, my house automatic gate receiver board burned after heavy rain!

Heavy Rain Burn My House Gate System

Last Sunday night after I back home, noticed the automatic gate is open and close by itself. I thought it was remote control problem. I checked all remote controllers but no one is switch on.

I guess the only root cause was heavy rain. The rain water might go into the board and it out of control. No choice, I have to turn off the main switch.

On following morning, I decide to test it again. After turn on main switch, I pressed the remote control button. And guess what? It “boom”! An explode sound heard come out from receiver. Oh no…the receiver is totally dead now, I guessed.

I phoned technician come to check. They open up the receiver, it was made in Italy and use since year 1995! That is already 14 years long, more than enough. Since no warranty on replace board, I decided to replace a new automatic house gate system.
