Symptom 

Actions 

Gate operator does 
not respond when 
commanded. 

1.

 

Check CONN 9 for power when command is given.  

2.

 

Check overload protector 

3.

 

Check PLC output.  

4.

 

Check that safeties are clear, and that IR Beams are aligned. 

5.

 

Check PLC input. 

6.

 

Check the +24VDC at CONN3 pins 8 and 10 

Operator drives gate 
too slowly. 

1.

 

Check for any binding of the gate. 

2.

 

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 

3.

 

Check the quality of the hydraulic fluid.  Old fluid will 
become sludgy and clogging of internal filter is possible. 

MAX Runtime Error 

1.

 

Check for any binding of the gate. 

2.

 

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 

3.

 

Check the MAX RUN TIME setting in Parameters to insure 
sufficient time is set for the gate size. 

Date and time flash 
on the PLC. 

1.

 

Refer to step 4.11 of Installing and Programming the LXL 
Operator for setting the date and time.  (Optional, not 
required to be set) 

Gate does not stop 
automatically when 
encountering an 
obstacle. 

1.

 

Refer to step 4.15 of Installing and Programming the LXL 
Operator for setting the Inherent Safety. 

2.

 

Check for system pressure on Inherent Safety screen of the 
PLC, if no reading is evident while gate is running suspect a 
faulty pressure transducer. 

3.

 

Check the functionality of the safety devices. 

4.

 

Check safety device wiring, refer to sections 6 and/or 8 

Fuses are blowing. 

1.

 

Check for incorrect incoming power to the Printed Circuit 
Board (PCB). 

2.

 

Ensure all external devices are sending the correct voltage 
to the PCB, and that there are no shorts. 

PLC says Stop/Reset 
activated. 

1.

 

If using an external push button, ensure that the stop button 
is a normally closed contact. 

2.

 

If not using an external push button, ensure there is a 
jumper wire between stop/reset and +24 stp/rst on CONN 3. 

3.

 

Check the connection of the wire between the J1Pin 9 
connector and I7 of the PLC. 

4.

 

Verify shunt is present on JP1 between pins 1 and 2. 

5.

 

Check F3. 

Electric Motor turns 
but gate does not 
move. 

1.

 

Check the fluid level in the reservoir. 

2.

 

Check PLC outputs to see if Q1 turns on for an OPEN 
and/or Q2 turns on for a CLOSE. 

3.

 

Check for loose coupling between the electric motor and 
pump assembly. 

4.

 

Check for voltage between COM and HYD VAL 1 and 2 on 
CONN 1 of PCB, and ensure wires connections are tight.
