TROUBLE-
SHOOTING 

Red LED does not 
come on during the 
closing cycle  

1. Red and black wires are reversed 

(polarity sensitive) 

2. 

AC motor application: in-line 
resistor not installed 

3. Faulty input power or data 

1. Reverse the polarity of the motor wires 
2. Check voltage supply to LO-21K: 12-24 

Volts AC / 15-24 Volts DC 

3. Check continuity on orange, brown, red 

and black wires 

Door will not open or 
close (green LED is on) 

1. 

Lockout safety beams are 
blocked 

2. Faulty safety beam receiver or 

transmitter 

3. 

Faulty power supply to safety 
beam 

4. Faulty safety beam wiring 

1. 

Remove any obstructions with safety 
beam path 

2. Check all safety beam related wiring 
3. 

Test the safety beams for proper 
operation 

Door will not recycle 
open when activated 
during the closing cycle 

1. Lockout time is not long enough. 

Red LED goes out before door 
gets fully closed. 

2. Data wires are reversed at the 

Bodyguard / DK-12 

1. Increase the lockout time. Refer to 

Dipswitch chart on Page 4. 

2. Reverse the data wires at the Bodyguard 

/ DK-12 

3. Check continuity on the data wires (red 

wire and red/white striped wire)  

Green LED does not 
come on when safety 
beams are blocked 

1. Faulty safety beam receiver 
2. Faulty connection on purple and 

gray wire from LO-21K 

1. Test beams and LO-21K with multi-meter 
2. Perform continuity test on purple and 

gray wires 

Improper voltage 
reading on data lines at 
LO-21K  

1. Incorrect wiring at LO-21K 
2. Faulty LO-21K 

1. Check to ensure that the polarity is correct  

at terminals 6 & 7 on the Bodyguard. 

2. If data line voltage remains constant at the 

LO-21K for the open and closed positions, 
and all wiring is Ok, replace faulty LO-21K 

 

Do not leave problems unresolved. If a satisfactory solution cannot be achieved after troubleshooting a problem, please call B.E.A., 
Inc.  If you must wait for the following workday to call B.E.A., leave the door inoperable until satisfactory repairs can be made.   Never 
sacrifice the safe operation of the automatic door or gate for an incomplete solution.
