30 - NICE 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
