Common ET Systems Faults

Six issues we resolve most often.

These are the symptoms we see on ET Systems motors across Gauteng - and how we approach each one.

1

Gate stops short of fully closed

ET limit configuration drifts over time, especially in homes with daily heavy use. A recalibration and limit-switch check sets it right.

2

Remote works intermittently

Receiver memory corruption is common after a lightning strike on the supply line. A re-pair or receiver swap is the fix.

3

Motor running hot

Overload conditions: often from a dragging gate, blocked rollers or worn bearings. Cause heat build-up. We address the mechanical issue alongside the motor.

4

Battery not holding charge

ET motors are sensitive to mismatched batteries. We always supply correctly rated 7Ah or 9Ah units paired to the charger output.

5

No power to the motor at all

Either a tripped supply, a blown fuse on the board, or a damaged transformer. Each is a fast on-site diagnosis.

6

Gate suddenly auto-closes

Almost always a faulty photo-beam alignment or a sticking timer-to-close setting. Photo-beam realignment and timer reset is a quick fix.

Looking After Your ET Systems Motor

Simple maintenance keeps it running longer.

Most ET Systems faults are accelerated by small, avoidable issues. These quick checks dramatically extend service life.

  • Check the gate runs smoothly by manual release: any resistance means the motor is working harder than it should.
  • Inspect the rack alignment annually. Even a few millimetres out of true accelerates gear wear.
  • Wipe down the control board enclosure dust-screen every six months.
  • Replace photo-beam batteries (where wireless) every two years.

ET Systems FAQs

The questions clients ask most.

Is ET Systems still a good brand to invest in?
Yes. ET continues to manufacture reliable, locally supported motors. For new installations we still recommend ET in many residential scenarios. Especially where budget and serviceability are priorities.
My ET motor was installed by another contractor. Will you service it?
Absolutely. The brand matters more than the original installer. We service ET motors regardless of who installed them, and we never void a warranty by tampering with sealed components.
Can ET motors integrate with smart home systems?
Newer ET units support GSM and Wi-Fi adapters that allow smartphone control. We supply and configure these as part of our installs.
Do you replace ET batteries on-site?
Yes, load-tested ET-rated 7Ah and 9Ah batteries are standard truck stock. Most battery replacements are completed in under 30 minutes.
