MODIFIED MOTOR NOTE

***All of our modified gate openers have their electronic control boards removed.***  

This is due to some unresolved issues, usually during electrical storm activity,that the gate opener control board logic has caused “Phantom Roof Openings” without the user or Skyroof issuing any action.  

***We now install our own solid state relay board for direct reliable motor control.***
