Troubleshooting
The gate opener is not stopping on the limit switches:
• Remove all pre-installed jumpers from the limit switch terminals that have limits going to
them. The slave gate terminals come pre-jumped for single operation, if you are using a dual
system pay particular attention to this detail and remove the jumpers when you put your limit
switches in.
• The limits are wired incorrectly—be sure that you are following the correct wiring diagram for
pull to open or push to open.
• For dual gates check that the delay between leafs is 2 or above. If both limits are triggered
simultaneously there is a chance a limit could be missed.
One or both arms are not moving:
• Check to be sure wiring color pattern matches the installation (Example: push to open wiring
for a push to open installation) - If the limits or motor are wiring opposite the installation the
board will believe it is closed or open when it is actually the opposite and the arms will never
move.
• Check the limit wires are correctly in the terminal blocks. The terminal blocks come with the
terminal clamps closed - however when the terminal clamps are closed there is a small space
below them one could mistake as place to insert a wire. If this is done then conductivity of the
connection will never be reached.
• Push or pull on the gate - if it moves the gears are disengaged and the gate is in manual re-
lease mode.
General fix for user to understand operation:
- Unlock the gate opener arm and move it to the half way position. Change the run time to a
low number (example: 2). Run the operator repeatedly.
- The operator should run one direction for a 2 count and then the other for a 2 count. After
you feel you have it following the run time correctly and swinging level and easily, then start
incrementally lengthening the run time.
- Eventually the run time will allow the operator arm to reach both limit switches and your set-
up is complete.
Dual gate - Only one arm moves:
• Check your dual settings - if the dip switch is changed to dual with the power on the setting
will not take effect, turn the power off and then back on to have the dual dip switch take ef-
fect.
NOTE: If one leaf of a dual gate ever reaches its end limit before the other leaf starts
moving, the leaf that hasn’t started moving will not begin: correct this by cycling the gates
again and let it travel the full stroke or decrease the delay between leafs. The options are 0-9
seconds delay.
