If you have a problem installing the operator, check the problems and solutions listed below for suggestions.
PROBLEM
SOLUTIONS
The operator does not respond to the acti-
vating signal.
• Make sure the main power switch is on.
• Check the control panel terminal strip for possible broken or disconnected
wires.
• If a radio signal is being used to activate the operator, be sure the code sets
on both the transmitter and receiver are the same.
• Momentarily short across terminals 1 and 7 on the control panel. If this activates
the operator, a problem probably exists in the activating device itself.
The gate is closed and does not open.
• Make sure the clutch adjustment is not too weak.
• Increase the torque if the motor is running and the gate is not moving. This may
be necessary for especially heavy gates.
• Check that the closed limit switch is working. The FC status light should be off.
Make sure that the limit switch plate is not too far away from the limit switch. The
distance between a plate and the switch should be 3/16 in.
• Check fuse F1 and replace it if necessary.
The gate opens, but will not close.
• Make sure the closing safety devices are working properly and that they are not
activated (an activated reversing device will prevent the gate from closing)
• Check that the FSW-CL light is on indicating that the closing safety is not active.
Make sure that the display doesn't show 05, indicating that the Fails Safe Check
didn't pass.
On initial operation the operator moves a
few inches and stops.
• Check the encoder setting
The gate opens, but the operator continues
to run.
• Check the FC light on the control panel. It should be OFF. If it is ON, check the
alignment of the limit switch plate.
• If the FCC light is ON and the limit switch plate is correctly adjusted, replace the
limit switch.
Note: If the limit switch plates are not detected by the limit switch on the opera-
tor, the motor will run for 120 seconds and then the control panel will be in alarm
status.
