This procedure allows slight mechanical adjustment of the gate’s closing angle by extending or retracting the main arm.

1.

  Using a 2.5mm or 3/32 hex key, turn the locking bolt on the side of the arm counter-clockwise to release the adjustment knob.

2.

  Rotate the knob as shown to increase or decrease the length of the main arm.  NOTE:  Do not extend the main arm more than 2"! 

3.

  Using a 2.5mm or 3/32 hex key, turn the locking bolt on the side of the arm clockwise to lock the adjustment knob in place.

27 - APOLLO GATE OPENER TROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Check that power to the operator is turned ON

Check terminal block wiring for loose or broken wires

Check for 115 VAC at source. If voltage measures OK, check the terminal block

Check the fuse 

Check the UL/Edge input on the gate controller

Adjust Force Settings

Check the input LEDs. Any ON will hold the gate open and indicates a problem with a keying device

Check the secondary safety devices. Any activated safety device will hold the gate open and indicates a 
problem with the safety device

Check the loop detectors. Any activated safety device can hold the gate open and indicates a problem with 
the loop detector or ground loop

Check if backup system is set to open gate automatically or requires an input to open

 Check the batteries for proper voltage. Replace if necessary

Clear any obstructions from the path of the gate. Press RESET to clear (or hard reset button)

 Check accessory inputs and clear then as necessary

SYMPTOM(S)

Operator will not Power On.   
Power LED is OFF  
 

Gate opens a short distance, then 
stops and reverses

Gate opens but will not close

Battery backup system will not open 
gate upon AC power outage

Hard Shutdown (2 back to back 
obstructions) LED blinking, Buzzer 
sounds for 5 minutes

Gate opens by itself
