E. Trouble Shooting
Symptom
Possible Cause
Remedies
Gate opens correctly but
after closing it reopens
1.Excessive closing pressure. Gate may be
rotating against a fixed stop before the
system cycle is complete
2. Auto- reverse sensitivity is too high.
3. Power Bolt lock may be misaligned.
1.Loosen the bottom gate hinge collar and
readjust gate.
2. Readjust the potentiometer for less sensitivity
3. Adjust accordingly
Gate moves a few feet
and then stops and/or
reverses
1. Auto sensitivity set too high.
2. Battery Voltage low.
1.Readjust potentiometer sensitivity.
2. Charge battery and check charging system
Gate will not open using
wireless transmitter or
key pad transmitter
1. Power switch for system not “on”.
2. Dipswitches are not synchronized.
3. Low or dead battery in transmitter
4.Fuse blown in circuit board.
5. Loose Wire
6. Operator battery low
1. Turn Power “on”.
2. Synchronize dipswitches
3. Replace transmitter battery
4. Replace fuse.
5. Check all wire connections
6. Charge or replace as necessary
The wireless transmitter
works only at a short
distance.
1. Transmitter battery low.
2. Signal reception being blocked
1. Replace battery
2. Extend the antenna wire to outside the box.
Only one gate will
operate on a double drive
system
1. Incorrect wiring on terminal block
1. Two wires should be at “Gate 1” and “Gate
2” terminal on the terminal block. .
Audible Alarm Sounding 1. Gate has encountered an obstacle
1. Remove obstacle and turn the system off and
back on to reset system.
(The audible alarm is
a safety device and should never be
disconnected.)
Gate opens but closes
within a few seconds
1. Auto close is activated
1. Disable or change auto close feature. (See
Auto-close/dipswitch chart in section D)
Power Bolt lock will not
operate
1. Incorrect Wiring
2. Dipswitch settings incorrect
1. Both wire leads from the power bolt must be
wired to the terminal block at the “Lock” point.
2. See Auto-close/dipswitch chart in section D
Power bolt lock opens
when it should close and
closes when it should
open
1. Incorrect wiring in the control panel
1. Reverse the wire positions at the “Lock”
terminal.
Gate squeaks when
opening and closing
1. Top Hinge mount misaligned
1. Check alignment and adjust as needed.
Gate is out of alignment
after closing
1. Bottom hinge mount set screws not tight
enough
1. Realign gate(s) and tighten setscrews. Do not
over tighten the collar side bolts. (Section A 12)
Magnetic lock activates
when gate is open and
not when gate is closed
1. Gate wires reversed.
1. Move wires from gate 1 terminals to gate 2
terminals and reverse the polarity of the wires.
Gates open automatically
rather then close when
system is set to “auto-
close”
1. Wires reversed at terminal
1. Reverse wires at gate terminals

F. Maintenance
1.
Monthly examine and operate the gate to assure proper function. If issues exist check for possible corrections
in the troubleshooter section. If issue persists contact a qualified service technician.
2.
Clean the control box quarterly to eliminate spider webs and possible dust accumulation.
3.
Periodic checking of the gate operator for force, speed, and sensitivity by a qualified service technician is
recommended.
4.
Check Monthly for any damage to exposed wire at the gate hinge location. Repair any damaged areas.
5.
Annually check and tighten the Hex set screws at the bottom hinge. Do not over tighten the side Hex bolts.
