What we see on US Automatic gates in Bowie

Bowie sits in open ranch country on US 287, and storms are a regular part of life. Tornadoes struck in 2020 and again in March 2022, and ordinary spring storms bring wind strong enough to slam a gate into its stops. For a US Automatic that means two risks. A gate arm and linkage take a beating, and a strike or surge on rural power can kill a control board or charge controller without leaving a mark. A board can also fail days after the storm, once the damage catches up.

After bad weather we test the board, the charge controller, the battery and the panel, and inspect the arm and linkage for bending. The battery is still the most common part to replace, since heat wears it out. Patriot units have limit switches that can drift, and Ranger boards hold limits that may need resetting after a board change. Surge protection is worth adding during a repair. We cover gates at Lakeside Country Club, Carter Heights and Silver Lakes Ranch.

US Automatic gate repair in Bowie: questions

Our US Automatic in Bowie seemed fine after a storm, then quit a week later. Why?

Lightning or a power surge can damage a control board or charge controller without obvious signs, and it may keep working for a while before failing. We test the board, charge controller and battery properly after a storm rather than assuming the gate survived. Adding surge protection helps prevent a repeat.

Should our Bowie ranch gate stay on solar, or move to AC charging?

Either works with a US Automatic, because the operator runs from its battery both ways. Solar suits an entrance far from power. AC charging uses a low-voltage charger fed from an outlet, and its lead can run a long way. In storm country, any connection to the grid should also have surge protection.
