• How do I pair a BFT Mitto remote to my receiver?

  To pair a BFT Mitto remote, generally press and hold the desired button on the remote while simultaneously pressing the 'learning' button on the control unit or receiver. The LED on the receiver should flash to confirm successful pairing. Refer to your specific receiver manual for exact steps.

• Does BFT offer automation for heavy industrial gates?

  Yes, BFT manufactures a range of industrial automation systems, such as the Icaro and Ares series, designed to handle heavy sliding gates and high-cycle usage in commercial environments.

• What should I do if my BFT photocells are not working?

  Ensure that the photocell lenses are clean and free of debris. Check that the transmitter and receiver are perfectly aligned and that no objects are blocking the beam. If the yellow LED on the receiving unit is off (when the beam is interrupted) or always on (depending on model logic), consult the wiring diagram to verify power and connections.

• Where can I find declarations of conformity for BFT products?

  Declarations of Conformity and other regulatory documents can typically be found in the download area of the official BFT Automation website or at bft-automation.com/CE.
