CODE SEQUENCE NUMBER

The first number shown is the most 

recent code (example: “01”). The 

display will show the sequence of 

codes that occurred starting with “01” 

and going up to code “20”. 

CODE NUMBER

The second number shown after the code 

sequence number is the code itself 

(31-99, example” “31”).

A SECOND LATER....

The operator will show the code sequence number followed by the code number:

MEANING

SOLUTION

31

Main control board has experienced an internal 
failure.

Disconnect all power, wait 15 seconds, then 
reconnect power (reboot). If issue continues, 
replace main control board.

32

Linear Drive Disengaged (Arm 1)

Disengage then re-engage arm. Check wiring and 
connections.

33

Linear Drive Disengaged (Arm 2)

34

Absolute Position Encoder Error, not getting 
position information from encoder

Check the operator cable connections, then 
reprogram the limits.

35

Max-Run-Time Exceeded Error

Check for an obstruction, then reprogram the 
limits.

36

Product ID Error

Was the control board just replaced? If so, erase 
limits, enter limit setup mode and set limits. If 
not, disconnect all power, wait 15 seconds, then 
reconnect power before changing product ID 
harness.

37

Product ID Failure

Unplug product ID harness then plug back in. 
Disconnect all power, wait 15 seconds, then 
reconnect power before replacing product ID 
harness.

38

Hard Stop Limit (Arm 1)

Limit may be set too tightly against a non-
resilient hard stop (re-adjust limit). Operator may 
be at end of travel (re-adjust mounting).

39

Hard Stop Limit (Arm 2)

40

Battery overvoltage

Too much voltage on the battery. Check harness. 
Make sure there is NOT a 24V battery on a 12V 
system.

41

Battery overcurrent

Possible short of the battery charge harness. 
Check harness. Make sure you do NOT have a 
12V battery on a 24V system.

42

No battery at boot up

Check battery connections and installation. 
Replace batteries if depleted to less than 20V on 
a 24V system or less than 10V on a 12V system. 
Make sure there is NOT a single 12V battery on a 
24V system.

43

Exit Loop Error

Failure or missing loop (SHORT or OPEN - 
LiftMaster Plug-in Loop Detector only) Check 
loop wiring throughout connection. May be a 
short in the loop, or an open connection in the 
loop.

44

Shadow Loop Error 

45

Interrupt Loop Error 

46

Wireless edge battery low

Replace batteries in wireless edge.

50

Run-Distance Error

Gate unbalance detected. Make sure the gate is 
installed on a level surface and not on an 
excessive grade.

51

Pass-point not detected (Arm 1)

Check yellow pass-point wiring. If limits are not 
accurate, reprogram.

52

Pass-point not detected (Arm 2)

53

Brownout occurred

AC/DC board supply dipped below allowable 
level. Review power supply and wiring. If 
rebooting, ensure enough time for discharge of 
power to force a fresh boot.

54

Wireless Second Operator Communication Error Check the second operator for power. If OFF, 

restore power and try to run the system. If 
powered, deactivate the wireless feature and then 
reprogram the second operator.

60

Minimum number of monitored entrapment 
protection devices not installed. 

Review monitored entrapment protection device 
connections. This swing gate operator will 
operate only after installation of a minimum of 
one external safety device in either the open or 
close direction.

61

CLOSE EYE/INTERRUPT held more than 3 
minutes

Check wired input on main control board; check 
for alignment or obstruction.

62

CLOSE EDGE held more than 3 minutes

63

OPEN EYE/EDGE held more than 3 minutes

64

CLOSE EYE/INTERRUPT held more than 3 
minutes

Check wired input on expansion board; check for 
alignment or obstruction.

65

CLOSE EYE/EDGE held more than 3 minutes

66

OPEN EYE/EDGE held more than 3 minutes

67

Wireless edge triggered more than 3 minutes

Check wired input for wiring issue or 
obstruction.

68

Wireless edge loss of monitoring

Check wireless edge inputs.

69

Wireless edge triggered

IF an obstruction occurred, no action required. If 
an obstruction did NOT occur, check inputs and 
wiring.

70

CLOSE EYE/INTERRUPT triggered, causing 
reversal, preventing close, or resetting TTC

IF an obstruction occurred, no action required. If 
an obstruction did NOT occur, check alignment, 
inputs, and wiring on main control board.

71

CLOSE EDGE triggered, causing reversal, 
preventing close, or canceling TTC

72

OPEN EYE/EDGE triggered, causing reversal or 
preventing opening

73

CLOSE EYE/INTERRUPT triggered, causing 
reversal, preventing close, or resetting TTC

IF an obstruction occurred, no action required. If 
an obstruction did NOT occur, check alignment, 
inputs, and wiring on expansion board.

74

CLOSE EYE/EDGE triggered, causing reversal 
and preventing close or canceling TTC

75

OPEN EYE/EDGE triggered, causing reversal or 
preventing opening

80

Close input (EYE/EDGE) communication fault 
from other operator

Check inputs and communication method 
between operators, either wired bus or radio. 
Ensure operator is powered. May have to erase 
the wireless communication and reprogram the 
two operators.

81

Open input (EYE/EDGE) communication fault 
from other operator

82

Close input (EYE/EDGE) communication fault 
(expansion board)

Check the connections between the main board 
and the expansion board.

83

Open input (EYE/EDGE) communication fault 
(expansion board)

84

Non-monitored device detected on the wireless 
safety system

Non-monitored contact closure devices are not 
supported. Make sure connected devices are 
monitored. Check edges for proper orientation 
and resistive end cap connection.

91

Force Reversal (Operator 1)

Check for obstruction. If no obstruction, check 
that the mechanical assembly is engaged and 
free to move. See section on Limit and Force 
Adjustment, and Obstruction Test in the manual.

92

Force Reversal (Operator 2)

93

RPM / STALL Reversal (Operator 1)

Check for obstruction. If no obstruction, check 
the operator wiring and that the mechanical 
assembly is engaged and free to move. Replace 
APE assembly.

WARNING

WARNING

To reduce the risk of INJURY or DEATH:

•  DISCONNECT power and battery BEFORE installing or servicing operator.

•  Replace ONLY with fuse of same type and rating.

•   To be compliant with UL325 and industry safety guidelines, qualified monitored 

external entrapment protection devices such as photoelectric sensors or edge 
sensors are required to be installed with this operator at each entrapment zone. 
Use ONLY LiftMaster approved entrapment protection devices (refer to the 
accessory page of manual).

•  See manual prior to servicing regarding maintenance and required safety testing.
