5. Gate begins to open
or close but stops
and reverses after a
couple of seconds
1. Open the control box cover and locate the Ranger control board.
Locate the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer located on the
control board. The white center is adjustable and needs to be turned
in a clockwise direction to increase force.
2. Normally a setting of (8 for PRO80) or (5 for HD) will operate most
gates; if your gate requires a higher setting there is a good chance
that your gate has a problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible
causes are incorrect hinges, gate touching the ground; gate not
level or the actuator arm connected to the gate defective or is bent.
Identify and correct problem.
6. Single Gate opens
or closes correctly,
then immediately
reverses direction.
1. This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment.
The limit switch adjustments are located on the circuit board.
7. Dual Gate opens
or closes correctly
then immediately
reverses direction.
1. This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment.
First determine which gate is in need of adjustment.
2. Locate the SW1 switches on the Ranger control board. Switch 3
and 4 should be turned on for a dual gate, turn off switch 4. This will
disable one gate.
3. Operate the gate and verify that it stops in the correct position. If so
then turn switch 4 back on and turn switch 3 off. Operate the other
gate now and verify that it stops in the correct position. One or both
may not stop in the correct position.
4. Once the gate that needs adjustment is identified (possibly both)
readjust limits to correct position.
