Trouble Probable Cause Corrective Action
“ARMED/READY ” light
OFF
A. Reset required
B. Defective control
panel
C. Defective control
module
1. Press and hold “TEST B” key for 6 seconds. Required after
every emergency activation.
2. Check “BATTERY STATUS” light. If OFF, go to “BATTERY
STATUS” section below.
3. Check “BATTERY CHARGER STATUS ” light. If OFF,
check AC power to unit.
1. Press reset button on mainboard and hold while observing
controller panel LEDs. All four LEDs should be illuminated. If
one or more but not all are illuminated, replace controller
panel.
1. Press reset button on mainboard and hold while observing
controller panel LEDs. All four LEDs should be illuminated. If
none are illuminated, replace control module. Note: All LEDs
should be OFF for 0.75 seconds after the reset button is
released.
Actuator fails to operate
when “TEST A” or
“TEST B” key is pushed
(Battery OK)
A. Microprocessor
Stalled
B. Power fuse blown
C. Cable damaged or
bad connection
1. Push microprocessor “ RESET” button located on mainboard
(see image and drawing on pages 11 & 13)
1. Check the 30 amp, blade-type fuse (See page 11). Replace
with spare included with instructions.
2. Determine the cause of the blown fuse. Most likely cause of
blown fuse is a cross-connect or short in the cable.
1. Check cable terminations for proper polarity. Check for
damaged cable. Check for secure connections at cable
termination in control box. Return actuator and cable to
factory for service.
“BATTERY STATUS”
light FLASHING or OFF
A. FLASHING- Low
battery
B. OFF– Replace/
Recharge
1. Battery should recharge if “BATTERY CHARGER STATUS”
light is on or flashing. Light should eventually return to
steady on.
1. Replace battery (page 10). After removal from the
controller, verification of a bad battery can be accomplished
by checking the voltage across the terminals with a
voltmeter. Less than 12v indicates a defective battery.
Otherwise, proceed with the following checks of the
charging circuit.
2. Confirm AC power or solar cell power is available. Check
the charging circuit as follows:
a) “BATTERY CHARGER STATUS” light is on or flashing.
b) Check that battery cable connections are secure at the
circuit board terminals (refer to Maintenance Section for
access to circuit board).
c) Connect a DC voltmeter across the Red and Black
battery cables. Must be at least 13 volts DC. Otherwise,
replace circuit board (See Maintenance Section VII).
