TROUBLE SHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS
The following procedures should be followed if the gate fails to operate correctly:
1.
Check to see that the main circuit breaker switch is “ON”.
2.
Check the electrical gate function by activating the RAISE/LOWER switch to the RAISE
position. The gate arm should go up. If it fails to do so, do the following:
a. Check the 115V AC on L1 and Neut.
b. Check the fuses in the controller.
c. Check the motor overload switch located on the backside of the motor.
3.
If the gate operates correctly with RAISE/LOWER switch, but will not operate as a system,
check the following:
a. Controlled entrance/exits: Check the terminals for operating the gate. If the
terminal strip is wired correctly, the gate should open when the common and the
open terminals are shorted together. If the gate opens, the malfunction is in the
activating equipment, such as the card reader, coin station, ticket dispenser,
push button, etc. If the gate does not open, the malfunction is in the gate
controller.
b. Free entrance/exits: Check the loop detector for proper tuning and loop wiring
for continuity. Make sure all terminal connections are properly connected. If the
gate still does not open, jumper between the common and open terminals on the
terminal strip. Failure at this point indicates that the malfunction is in the gate
controller or in the terminal connection(s).
4.
If the gate still will not operate, disconnect the main power. Check all terminals and wire
connections to make sure they are properly connected. Check all wire connections to the
limit switches.
5.
If the gate arm goes up and down without stopping, do the following:
a. Check the limit switches and cams for proper adjustment.
b. If the limit switches and cams are properly adjusted, and the gate still runs
without stopping, you may have a faulty limit switch(es).
c. If the gate is configured for single button open and close, check to make sure
there is not a constant open input.
6.
If the gate arm starts to lower but reverses and stays up, make sure the rebound
sensitivity adjustment is set properly.
