Periodic Service
All gate operators require periodic checking and adjustments, by a qualified technician of the
control mechanism for force (load), speed and sensitivity. All external accessories and secondary
safety devices must be checked. Secondary safety devices need to be checked at least once a month
for proper operation.
Periodic checking is also advised for the following:
1. Battery cells water level. (Use distilled water if needed)(Sealed Gel or AGM batteries preferred)
2. Hinges and pivot points need to be greased. Apply grease to actuator stainless tube as needed.
3. Bolts for correct tightness.
4. Inspect weld points for cracks or other defects.
5. Inspect wiring for cuts, nicks or other defects.
6. Inspect hinge post to ensure it is not moving or twisting.
7. If AC charger is used verify proper charger operation. Refer to charger instructions.
8. Verify that the inside of the control cabinet remains clean and free of insects. Do not spray
control board with bug spray.
Troubleshooting Guide
Introduction
The Patriot control board is equipped with three unique features to assist in troubleshooting a gate system.
1.
The first and most helpful is the series of LED indicating lights. These lights will help to identify
problems with the actuator limit switches and all control circuits. To use the indicators, press and hold
the “LED Indicator” button on the control board. (The LED’s are not active unless the LED indicator
push button is pressed and held to save battery life). Any circuits or limit switches that are activated will
be obvious by the illumination of the adjacent LED.
2.
The second feature to assist in troubleshooting is the current sense beeper. The beeper will sound
anytime the current sense circuit is activated. This is useful in detecting a false reverse due to an
improper or too sensitive current reverse setting, or a gate, which is requiring excessive force to
move.
3.
The third feature to assist in troubleshooting is the on board “Open / Close Command” pushbutton.
This button makes it possible to operate the gate with the twelve terminal wiring plug removed
without having to short across terminal pins.
