Serai gate system

yfaykya

Hi all,

I am pretty sure I have a SERAI CR31 electric gate. Bought the house about 6 months and only one remote for gate was given. We were given contact details for a guy who deals with it and he called down week 1 to show me how to change the pin for the keypad and would be back with more fobs. 6 months and lots of calls etc later no sign of him so I have decided to go solo. I ordered some clone fobs on ebay but I would like to change the original one we have too (I am pretty sure it is fixed code) so other original ones (if they exist) would be useless.

Also when that guy called around he had a "service" code to change the pin. I was wondering are these hardwired or can these be changed too?

Basically I know these things are not very secure but I would like to at least have it somewhat controlled by me. I **hate** chasing service ppl so that is more incentive :-)

Thanks.

Ps. I found CR31 manual @ http://www.merrimack.ie/automation/files/pdf/CR31manual.pdf

What make is the keypad? It may not be the same manufacturer as the gate control and motors. I haver a hunch that the gate control and motors are generic, as a lot of them are.

Also what make is the new remotes?

Give Merrimack a ring, they're down in Rathangan, I bought some spares off them before, no issues

Keypad is ACT IIRC. Pic at https://www.dropbox.com/s/6nw422qp74cyrsh/2013-10-19%2009.44.41.jpg

I doubt the keypad and wireless are directly linked judging from schematics in the manual for the CR31 - I guess I will need to find manual for the keypad now too.

I bought http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cloning-Universal-Gate-Garage-Remote-Control-Fob-433mhz-/230606653557?ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:

I read the manual for the CR31 and I can see how to wipe memory of the fobs. I will try that later and then relearn my current one. I can then clone that with the one above.

Thanks.

Found ACT manual so I can at least reset the programming mode pin! Getting there.
