BFT HAMAL ARES Control Board for ARES BT A1000 and A1500 Oman
The BFT HAMAL ARES control board is the genuine replacement circuit board for an ARES BT A1000 or A1500 sliding gate motor. It is a spare part, not the complete operator, which is a separate product on this site. Runs on 230V, with a dual channel receiver, D-Track anti crush and an 8K2 safety edge input. The 80W output rating is unusually low for this duty class and is being verified against the physical unit. Supplied and fitted across Oman by Doors Auto.
Description
The BFT HAMAL ARES control board is the genuine replacement circuit board for a BFT ARES BT A1000 or A1500 sliding gate motor. Read this line before anything else, because it is the mistake this page exists to prevent.
This is a control board, not the complete ARES motor. Our shop also carries a full BFT HAMAL ARES Sliding Gate Motor. The two share the HAMAL ARES name and nothing else, one is a spare part for a gate you already own, the other is a whole operator for a gate you do not yet have.
BFT HAMAL ARES control board or BFT HAMAL ARES sliding gate motor, which one you need
| Product | What it is | Buy it when |
|---|---|---|
| HAMAL ARES control board, this page | Replacement circuit board only | You already have an ARES A1000 or A1500 operator and the electronics have failed |
| HAMAL ARES sliding gate motor | Complete gate operator | You are automating a new gate or replacing the whole unit |
If you are unsure which you need, send us a photo of the operator you already have, or the gate itself if you have none. Ordering the wrong one wastes a trip and, on a 1000 kg or 1500 kg gate, the delay matters.
ARES BT A1000 and A1500 control board, and the power rating worth checking
The published specification lists this board at 80W maximum operator output, identical to the smaller HAMAL 400 and HAMAL 600 boards built for 400 kg and 600 kg operators. ARES A1000 and A1500 are intensive duty machines rated well above DEIMOS class gates, so a figure that does not scale with the operator is worth confirming rather than repeating.
We check the rating plate on the actual unit before quoting, and we would rather tell you a figure is unconfirmed than publish a wrong one on a board driving a 1500 kg gate.
Why a BFT gate motor control board fails before an ARES gearbox does
ARES gearboxes are built for constant cycling and generally outlast the board. The board carries the mains supply, the receiver, the safety inputs and the low voltage side, so heat, damp and voltage spikes reach it first, and an intensive duty gate cycling all day puts more hours on that board than a villa gate ever will.
| Symptom | Usual cause |
|---|---|
| Gate hums, does not move | Board fault, rarely the motor |
| Runs one direction only | Board relay or limit input |
| Stopped learning new remotes | Radio receiver on the board |
| Opens then reverses immediately | D-Track sensing or limit setting |
Send a photo of the board and its printed code and we will confirm the fault, and the correct power rating, before you order.

Fitting an ARES A1000 or A1500 control board is electrician work
This is a bare 230V board serving a heavy duty operator, often on a compound entrance that cycles constantly. Mains, the operator feed, photocells, the safety edge and the receiver land on removable terminal blocks that must match the old wiring, and on an intensive duty gate a miswired safety input is a genuine hazard rather than an inconvenience.
We replace these ourselves and test D-Track sensing and the safety edge with the gate under load, on a machine that people and vehicles pass through repeatedly, before we hand it back.
What is included, and what is not
- BFT HAMAL ARES control board
- Removable terminal blocks
Not included: enclosure, photocells, safety edge sensor, remotes and mains cabling. Safety devices come from accessories, handsets from remote controls.
BFT control board supply and fitting across Oman
We stock the HAMAL 400, HAMAL 600, HAMAL ARES and MERAK SL2 boards, so an intensive duty gate does not sit out of service waiting on a whole new operator. We cover all eleven governorates: Muscat, Al Batinah North, Al Batinah South, Ad Dakhiliyah, Ash Sharqiyah North, Ash Sharqiyah South, Adh Dhahirah, Al Buraimi, Al Wusta, Dhofar and Musandam.
That reaches Sohar in Al Batinah North, Nizwa in Ad Dakhiliyah, Sur in Ash Sharqiyah South, Salalah in Dhofar and Duqm in Al Wusta.
Visit us at Shop No 176, Way Street No 57, Block No 17/2, Al Khuwair, Muscat, Oman. Call or WhatsApp +968 78109286, or email contact@doorsauto.com. Send a photo of your ARES operator through the contact page and we will confirm the correct board before you order.
BFT HAMAL ARES control board FAQ
Is the BFT HAMAL ARES control board the same as the BFT HAMAL ARES sliding gate motor?
No. This is a replacement circuit board for a gate you already own. The HAMAL ARES sliding gate motor is a separate, complete operator sold elsewhere on this site. Check which one you need before ordering.
Does the BFT HAMAL ARES control board fit both A1000 and A1500?
Yes, it is built to serve both the ARES BT A1000 and ARES BT A1500 operators.
What is the operator power rating on the BFT HAMAL ARES control board?
The manufacturer listing states 80W, the same figure quoted for the smaller HAMAL 400 and HAMAL 600 boards. We are verifying this against the physical unit before confirming it for an intensive duty ARES gate.
How do I know if my ARES gate motor needs a new control board?
A gate that hums without moving, runs one direction only, has stopped learning remotes, or reverses immediately after opening is almost always a board fault, especially on a gate that cycles often.
Do you fit BFT ARES control boards across Oman?
Yes, to all eleven governorates, with our engineers covering Muscat, Sohar, Nizwa, Sur, Salalah, Duqm and the surrounding areas.
