WARNING - DISCONNECT BATTERIES AND AC POWER BEFORE
SERVICING ANY MECHANICAL OR MOVING COMPONENTS.
BATTERY CHECKOUT
When the batteries become weak the gate will begin to run noticeably slower.
NOTE:
Batteries should only be checked when you are sure they have had
adequate time to fully charge.
1. Turn off the AC power and run gate for 5 to 10 cycles while observing low
battery indicator LED D12. If LED 12 comes ON, batteries are too weak to
function properly. If LED 12 does not light, then voltage should be checked as
they still maybe near failure. Correct voltage is approximately 24.5 Vdc.
NOTE:
If LED D12 does light, gate will open to conserve batteries in this test
or in a real power loss, even if mode switch 8 on S2 is off.
Return of AC power will clear low battery indicator. Correct charge voltage is 27.5
Vdc with batteries not connected (set with R63, shown on the Control Board Layout
page).
