Troubleshooting

GATE WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE

Test the operator to find out whether the open input devices are functioning by following these steps. n If a remote control is being used to open the gate, try another remote control or try using a push button if there is one installed. o If a push button is being used try using another push button or a remote control. p If there is no push button installed the gate may be operated by connecting a jumper wire to terminal 8 and momentarily touching it to terminal 5 or 7. q If the remote controls are not working, see TRANSMITTER DOES NOT WORK on the previous page. r Check the manual release switch to make sure it is in the operate (up) position. s Check to see which LEDs are illuminated on the circuit board. For normal operating conditions the only LEDs that should be illuminated are the stop input at terminal 9 and Limit Switch 1 input if the gate is in the fully open position or Limit Switch 2 input if the gate is in the fully closed position. t If any of the input LEDs are illuminated on terminals 4, 5, 7 or 10, disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the LED is extinguished to determine which input device may be stuck. u If the stop input LED on terminal 9 is not illuminated, check the stop input device if any are installed and all connections to the device. If no stop input device is installed make sure that there is a jumper between terminals 8 and 9 and that it is securely fastened. v Check the circuit breaker button. If the circuit breaker is tripped, press it back in. w Make sure there is power to the circuit board on terminals 13 and 14.

THE GATE WILL NOT STOP OR REVERSE WHEN IT MEETS AN OBSTRUCTION

nAdjust the gate sensitivity. The operator needs to be adjusted for more sensitivity. This is done by turning the open and close gate sensitivity adjustments clockwise for more sensitivity. (See page 17).

GATE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED

nMake sure that the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the correct position (See page 17). If the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the incorrect position, the auto close timer feature may be working in reverse and telling the gate operator to open after the auto close time has elapsed. o Check to see if any input LEDs on terminals 4, 5 or 7 flicker or illuminate when the gate gets to the closed position. p If any of the input LEDs flicker or illuminate on terminals 4, 5, or 7, disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the LED is extinguished to determine which input device may be activating.

TIMER WILL NOT CLOSE THE GATE

nMake sure that the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the correct position (See page 17). If the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the incorrect position, the auto close timer feature may be working in reverse and telling the gate operator to open instead of close after the auto close time has elapsed. o Make sure the auto close timer switch is in the ON position (See page 17). The auto close timer switch is located on the right edge of the circuit board. p Adjust the amount of auto close time (See page 17). The auto close time may be set too high and is simply taking a long time to close. Do not continue pressing the remote control or other open or safety input devices because each time an open or a safety input is given the timer will reset and begin counting over.

OPERATOR RUNS IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION

nCheck to see which LEDs are illuminated on the circuit board. For normal operating conditions the only LEDs that should be illuminated are the stop input at terminal 9 and Limit Switch 1 input if the gate is in the fully open position or Limit Switch 2 input if the gate is in the fully closed position. o If any of the input LEDs are illuminated on terminals 4, 5, 7 or 10, disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the LED is extinguished to determine which input device may be stuck.
