)!If the power LED (P) is flashing slowly.
•This means your main power is not on, the battery is low and absorbing too much of the main
power, or the main power was plugged in for less than 5 minutes. Be sure before installation
the battery is charged for 12 hours. A charged battery should read over 13V at idle without
power connected. If your battery is reading under 13V it needs to continue to charge.
Note: When a charging power source is removed from a battery the voltage reading will drop immediately after
and then level out. Please wait for the voltage to level out to get an accurate reading of the battery’s charge.
If the power LED (P) is flashing rapidly.
•The battery is discharged and does not have enough power to move your gate.
Note: Many times the power light will only flash rapidly for a few seconds during the cycle, at
which time the gate will stop in motion. It may immediately go back to solid. The battery is still
too low, but is closer to being ready to use. This means that the increased amperage pull from
moving a gate is too much for the battery in it’s current level of charge.
If the gate stops mid cycle.
•Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
•Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and moves too quickly, sometimes the
jerk of the gate during certain parts of the cycle may set off the obstruction sensing. Move the
speed setting down to 1.
•Try removing the opener arm from the gate mounting bracket. Run the cycle with the arm off
the gate. If the opener no longer stops during cycle, check your gate for levelness, greased
hinges, and weight/length ratios. Note: moving your gate from the end by hand may seem very
easy. A true test would be moving the gate from the gate mounting bracket just as the operator
would.
•Check the power lights, the flashing may only last a short time when the gate stops. If the light
flashes let your operator charge.
If the gate stops after only a few inches of movement.
•NOTE: The open and closed position is the most difficult for the opener because it is
working without momentum and at the least leverage point.
•Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
•Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and moves too quickly, sometimes the
jerk of the gate during the beginning of the cycle may set off the obstruction sensing. Move the
speed setting down to 1.
