How to Program Your Beninca Gate Motor Remote
Programming a Beninca remote is straightforward once you know which method applies to your motor. This guide covers four of the most popular Beninca gate and barrier motors sold in Australia, with separate instructions for first-time setup, adding extra remotes, and fixing pairing issues caused by the wrong encoding mode.

Frequently Asked Questions
What remote does the Beninca Bull 600kg Turbo use?
The Bull 600kg Turbo uses the Beninca TO.GO range of remotes, but only in ARC (Advanced Rolling Code) mode. Standard mode remotes will not pair. The battery comes pre-installed in the remote.
What does ARC mode mean and how do I know if my remote is in it?
ARC stands for Advanced Rolling Code. It is a more secure encoding standard required by several Beninca motors. If your remote is in standard mode, it will fail to pair with an ARC-only motor. To switch modes, hold two buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds until the LED stops blinking. You cannot visually confirm the current mode, so if pairing fails, always try the mode switch first.
How do I add a second or third remote after the motor is already set up?
Use the PG button on the control board to navigate to RADI, press PG twice to reach the PUSH prompt, then press the desired button on your new remote. The display will show OK when done. Press + and - simultaneously to exit. This works for all four motors covered in this guide.
Can I add a Beninca remote without going back to the control board?
Yes, but only on the Beninca Sam swing gate motor, and only when the REM logic is set to ON. You use an already-paired remote to activate copy mode, then pair the new remote within a 10-second window. See the Sam section above for the full step-by-step process.
What is the AUTO calibration step on the Bull 600kg Turbo?
After pairing all your remotes during first-time setup, pressing and holding a stored remote button until AUTO appears triggers an automatic calibration run. The gate travels through 3 full movement cycles so the motor can learn the gate's weight, travel distance, and stopping parameters. This only needs to be done once during initial setup. The gate will stop in the open position and display OK when calibration is complete.
My Beninca remote still won't work after following all the steps. What next?
First, confirm the battery is making good contact — even pre-installed batteries can shift during shipping. Second, try the encoding mode change again to rule out a mode mismatch. Third, check that you are pressing the correct hidden key on the back of the remote (not a front button) during the pairing initiation step. If none of these resolve it, contact Powered Gates Australia with your motor model number and remote model ready.
