operator not working at all
-
check power cord is plugged in and switched ON. Check fuse
or circuit breaker for the gate is ON. For Battery versions if the power has been turned OFF and
the battery has run flat the power must be turned ON and the operator left to charge over night
before it is used. If power is OK check all control devices are working properly. Photocells should
be aligned properly, ground loop detector may need adjusting, 7-day timer may need adjusting
or any other devices that can hold the gate open may prevent the gate from closing if they aren’t
working properly.
battery powered operator running very slowly
- check power cord is plugged in and
switched ON. Check fuse or circuit breaker for the gate is ON. If either of these are OFF turn them
ON and leave the the gate over night to fully charge. If they are ON then check the trickle charge
cabling to the gate and repair where necessary. If cabling is OK the battery may need replacing.
solar powered operator running very slowly
- the solar panel may not be getting enough
sun to keep the battery charged. Check the Solar Panel is getting adaquate sunlight and cabling is
in good condition. An extra solar panel and storage battery may be required and/or the solar panel
repositioned so it gets more sun.
remote control range drops some times -
most likely caused by interference from some
other device in the area using a similar frequency. Installing an external antenna can minimize
the effects of interference, other wise if this doesn’t help the frequency of the remote controls
should be changed. each remote control will need to be changed for a differnent frequency along
with the receiver module plugged into the e-Gate control or stand alone receiver board(s). The
receiver module is a small yellow board that plugs into the main board near where the antenna
is wired in. Power should be removed form the operator before a receiver module is changed.
Both the remote controls and receiver modules come in either 433.92Mhz or 315Mhz, if you have
interference problems with one frequency we can send you remote controls of the other frequency,
which normally solves the problem.
