How Ghost Controls Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

  • DPS (Dual Protection System) photo-eye drift on TSS1 and TDS2 operators. The infrared beam receiver shifts microscopically in Alpharetta’s humidity swings, especially after heavy spring rains. The gate starts reversing for no visible reason. We realign to factory spec, lock the bracket with thread-locking compound, and photograph the final voltage reading at the control board so the next tech knows where we started.
  • AXWK or AXWK-L keypad membrane failure after UV exposure. The rubber button matrix cracks along the top row where afternoon sun hits longest. Entry codes work intermittently or require harder presses. We replace with OEM membrane or a sealed metal-keypad upgrade, depending on whether the homeowner wants the original look or longer field life.
  • Smart phone-app connectivity drops on DP2 and BLT series. Ghost Controls Bluetooth modules lose pairing when the phone updates iOS or Android, or when the homeowner switches routers. We re-pair, update firmware if the revision is behind, and test at the property line to confirm signal strength where the homeowner actually stands.
  • Remote control range collapse on older ACT and PBC kits. The 433 MHz receiver antenna degrades where it passes through the operator housing near the motor, which runs hot. Range shrinks from 100 feet to 15 feet. We relocate the antenna with an extension harness, test at three distances, and log the before-and-after range in the job record.
  • Video intercom image washout on VZ and VX series. The camera module auto-exposure fails when facing east into Alpharetta sunrise glare. We adjust the mounting angle, apply a hood if needed, and verify night-vision infrared triggers correctly after dark. If the CMOS sensor is cooked, we source the exact replacement board rather than swapping the whole unit.

Our Ghost Controls Gate Access Control Process

Our Ghost Controls Gate Access Control Process
  1. 1
    Call intake. A live person answers, asks which Ghost Controls series you have (model number off the operator label helps), and schedules a diagnostic. We send the technician’s name and photo before arrival.
  2. 2
    On-site diagnosis. The tech powers down the operator, tests the access device independently with a multimeter, and documents the failure mode with photos. No guessing, no “let’s try this.”
  3. 3
    Parts decision. If Ghost Controls OEM is in stock and cost-effective, we quote it. If lead time is 10+ days or the part is obsolete, we quote a quality aftermarket equivalent and explain the trade-off in writing.
  4. 4
    Written price, then work. You get a flat price on paper. Under Haven Standard Clause 1, no work starts until you approve. The price does not change unless you add scope.
  5. 5
    Repair, test, and document. We fix it, cycle the gate 20 times under load, test every access method (keypad, remote, app, intercom), and photograph settings, wiring, and final readings. You get a copy; we file the master.
  6. 6
    365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything we touched fails within a year, we make it right. No fee, no argument, no expiration inside that window.
