NOTE: When the gate is running slow the reason is most likely low battery voltage.
If D11 does not turn OFF when beam is broken then photo eye is bad.
If D11 is ON verify that the D11 Led goes OFF when photo eye beam is broken.
If not then check wire connection from photo eye for proper connection.
If not verify alignment between photo eye transmitter and receiver.
Verify that D11 LED (Photo eye N/C 2nd entrapment) located bottom left corner of the control board is ON.
Press and hold the LED indicator button located on the control board.
Verify that dip switch DS1 switch 8 (photo eye monitor) is ON press down on the right hand side.
Verify that DS1 dip switch 10 is ON press down on the right hand side.
Using an ohm meter verify the resistance measured between the 2 contact edge wires, should be 10K.
If wire connections are correct then disconnect the contact edge wires from the J2 connector.
If reading is 5 Vdc then check wire connections from contact edge for proper connection.
Activate the contact edge by depressing it and verify the D5 LED is ON bright now or the voltage drops to 0 Vdc.
If not using a DC voltmeter measure the voltage on J2 pin 6 to ground reading should be approx.
Verify the D5 LED (Contact edge 2nd entrapment) located bottom left corner of the control board is ON dimly.
Press and hold the LED indicator on the control board.
Verify that dip switch DS2 switch 4 (contact edge monitor) is ON pressed down on the right hand side.
Tape is not watertight.Ĭontact Edge With 10K Resistor Monitoring If the wiring is not in watertight conduit, this is most likely the problem. If this is correct check wiring splices for moisture, correct wiring etc.
If a problem is observed in steps 2 or 3 above most likely it was when the Gate 2 actuator (located the greatest distance from control box) was being tested.
Then repeat step 2 and 3 again using Gate 2 (X2) connector on control board in place of Gate 1 (X1). If both worked correctly in Gate 1 then go back to DS1 and turn switch 3 off and switch 4 on. At this point you have tested each actuator individually. Press the “Open/Close Command” button and verify that the gate operates correctly.
If the gate operates correctly, disconnect the actuator plug and connect the other actuator plug into the Gate 1 (X1) connector.
Press the “Open/Close Command” button and verify that the gate operates. Connect it to the Gate 1 (X1) connector on the control board. Reconnect the connector from the actuator that goes to the gate closest to you. Turn off switch 4 (down on left side) and turn on switch 3 (down on the right side). Then locate the DS1 dipswitches on the control board.
Disconnect the actuator connectors plugged into the control board Gate 1 and Gate 2 (X1 and X2).
Both LED’s should never be on simultaneously. Adjust the retract limit until the LED goes off and continue to adjust until the gate is at the desired stopping position. You must adjust the limit switch.Įxample- if both limit LED’s are on when the gate is in the closed position (and actuator is connected to the gate) the problem is with the retract limit switch.
Press and hold the “LED Indicator” push button and observe all of the red LED’s If the two limit LED’s located below the actuator plug connector are both on the operator will not operate.
Charge or replace the battery depending on results. If switches are correct and the fuses are good and clicking sound is heard, then the battery needs to be load tested to determine its condition. Also check the dipswitches (3 and 4) for correct switch settings based on where the actuator is connected to the control board (Gate 1 or Gate 2).
When pressing the “Open/Close Command” push button, listen for a clicking sound, if click is heard then verify: The 15-amp fuse located on the control board is good if not replace it using the spare located on the control board.
When pressing the “Open/Close Command” push button, listen for a clicking sound, if no click is heard then verify the 20 amp fuse located in the wiring harness is good.
Press the “Reset” push button located above the “Open/Close Command” button, then push the “Open/Close command” push button to operate the gate.
Remove control box cover locate the “Open/Close Command” push button and press it to operate the gate.
