What we see on Apollo gates in University Park
Apollo openers are battery machines. The 1550 drives one leaf and the 1650 drives a pair, each through a tubular actuator bolted between a pivot arm on the hinge post and a bracket on the gate, with the battery and board in a steel box nearby. On a University Park courtyard gate or iron swing pair that geometry is sensitive to movement. When a post shifts in the clay, the actuator stroke no longer matches the leaf, and the gate stops a few feet in or reverses after closing, which owners often read as a failing board.
We measure the battery while the gate is running, since an Apollo wants twelve to fourteen volts under load, then check the panel or trickle charger. Next come the low-voltage connections in the enclosure, which corrode, and the actuator arm and brackets, which wear and fatigue. Limit drift on the swing arms is an adjustment. Distributors list the TITAN 12L as a bolt-in replacement for older actuators on the same mounting geometry. We repair Apollo gates in Volk Estates, Caruth Hills and near Centennial Park.

Apollo gate repair in University Park: questions
My Apollo gate in University Park reopens right after it closes. Why?
On a 12 volt Apollo that usually starts with power. A battery that sags under load can make the board misread the closing stroke as an obstruction and reverse. A shifted post or worn bracket that adds drag at the end of travel does the same thing. We test the battery running, check that the leaf moves freely by hand, then set the limits and obstruction sensitivity.
Can an old Apollo board still be replaced?
Generally yes. The 1550 and 1650 have used several boards over the years, from the early 833 and 834 to the 835 and 836 on ETL units and the 1050 on the 1K versions. Identifying which one you have is the first step, and then we can tell you whether a direct replacement or an updated board is the better route for your gate.
