Troubleshooting
6.3
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 simultane-
ously 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 be-
lieve 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 release 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 lengthen-
ing the run time.
- Eventually the run time will allow the operator arm to reach both limit switches and your setup is com-
plete.
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 effect.
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.
