8.   Transmitter will not 

operate the gate. 

(LCR radio equipment 

only)

1.  Open the control box and locate the Ranger control board. Locate 

the “LED Indicator” push button and the “Push Button Input” LED 

under J2 Terminal 3.  Push and hold the “LED indicator” push button, 

then press the transmitter button and observe the “Push Button 

Input” LED. The LED should come on while the transmitter button is 

depressed.

2.  If the “Push Button Input” LED did not come on in step 1 then 

make sure that the white receiver connector on the control board 

is securely and properly connected, replace the battery in the 

transmitter and verify that the transmitter is programmed to operate 

the receiver (refer to “programming receiver and transmitter”).

3.  If the “Push Button Input” LED in step 1 did come on and the gate 

did not operate then locate the “Open/Close Command” button 

located at the bottom center of the Ranger control board. Press the 

“Open/Close Command” button and note gate operation. 

4.  If the gate did not operate in step 3, most likely a safety accessory 

connected to the green J2 connector is active. Verify this by 

depressing the “LED Indicator” push button and observe the LED’s 

located below the J2 terminal plug of the Ranger control board. If an 

LED is on, identify the accessory connected to the corresponding J2 

connector terminal and correct the problem.

9.  Gate opens using 

transmitter, but will 

not close using 

transmitter.  

(LCR receiver only)

1.  The problem is most likely the programming of the LCR receiver (P2 

relay is programmed to latch mode)

2.  On the Ranger control board locate press and hold the “LED 

Indicator” pushbutton.

3.  Look below the J2 terminal plug of the Ranger control board and 

note any LED’s that are on.

4.  If the “Free Exit/Open Input” LD2 is on then the receiver (P2) is 

programmed to latch mode.

5.  Go to “Resetting receiver P2 relay to momentary mode” section.

6.  If this does not correct the problem return to troubleshooting section 

4 and perform steps 1-5.

7.  If problem is not corrected, call the factory for further 

troubleshooting.
