STEP 9 Connecting Actuator Cable to Control Board
Before connecting the actuator cable to the control board check the following:
Verify that all previous steps were performed.
Verify that the battery connections are correct, red leads to positive and black leads to negative.
Verify that nothing is in the path of the gate, if by chance it begins to move when power is applied.
Be prepared to disconnect the actuator cable, if needed to stop the gate if it begins to move.
Patriot I
Locate the master actuator cable and plug it into the “Master” actuator connector (see figure 15) on the
control board. You might here a beep from the control board when power is supplied. This is not a problem.
Patriot II
Locate the master actuator cable and plug it into the “Master” actuator connector (see figure 15) on the
control board. You might here a beep from the control board when power is supplied. This is not a problem.
Locate the slave actuator cable and plug it into the “Slave” actuator connector (see figure 15).
STEP 10 Current Sense Adjustment
The control board has two current sense adjustments, MASTER and SLAVE (see figure 15). On single gate
installations adjust both to the same setting, on dual gates adjust each one to the desired setting. Adjust
sensitivity so that the gate force required to sense an obstruction is at the desired level.
Remember if the gate reverses direction when operating without contacting an obstruction, then minimizing
sensitivity (increase force) may be required. Do not increase more than necessary.
The adjustment has a maximum rotation of 1 turn, beginning at 0 and ending at 10. The factory setting is
around number 3. Do not force the adjustment past the stop points.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Locate the sensitivity adjustments in figure 15. Notice that there are two adjustments MASTER and SLAVE.
We intentionally set the sensors at a highly sensitive setting. This may need to be adjusted to achieve gate
movement without tripping the sensitivity circuit and causing the gate to reverse direction. If the gate
reverses direction twice and then stops the control board will need to be reset.
