VS-GSLG OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE

- 25 -

OPERATOR FAILS TO WORK:

A. The overload kicked out. The overload in the

VS-GSLG is inside the motor. If it opens, you must 
wait until the motor cools, which automatically re-
sets the overload.

B.  Main power disconnected at the master distribution 

panel. Reconnect power.

C. The secondary fuse has blown. Replace the fuse.

D.  Motor control may have sensed a fault. Refer to the
 

motor drive display for fault codes.

MOTOR OPERATES, BUT THE GATE DOES NOT 

MOVE:

A. Check to see the clutch is engaged.

B.  Make sure the clutch is adjusted properly. (Factory 

clutch settings are very light.)

C. Be sure the main chain is not broken.

D.  Check for broken or disconnected internal drive 

chains.

E. Check for loose set screws on pulleys and sprock-

ets.

MOTOR LABORING:

A. Check the gate to be sure it is not bound up.

B.  Check the drive chain for obstruction.

C. Check the brake to be sure it is releasing.

TROUBLESHOOTING

LIMIT SWITCH GETTING OUT OF TIME:

A.  Tighten tension on the main chain to be sure it is not 

jumping teeth on the drive sprocket.

B.  To check chain jumping, you must mark the drive 

sprocket and chain with a piece of chalk. Run the 
operator. Then check marks to be sure they match.

GATE STOPPING PART WAY:

A.  Check the clutch setting. Do not overtighten.

B.  Check adjustment of the maximum run timer.

(see page 10)

C. Check current sensing adjustment.

GATE STAYING OPEN WITH AUTOMATIC SYSTEM:

A.  If the vehicle detector “DETECT” light is on, check the

drive for unwanted metal, retune the detector, and 
check surface and loop wires for damage.

B.  Verify dip switch #1 is turned on.

C.  Make sure the close limit switch isn’t held open.

D.  Make sure operator is on full open limit switch, unless 

close from any position is enabled. See wiring dia-
gram.

E.  If stop or reset button is pressed, the timer is disabled 

until another run command is received.
