m GATE BEGINS TO OPEN OR CLOSE, THEN STOPS OR REVERSES
Adjust the gate sensitivity (See page 17). If the gate sensitivity adjustment is too sensitive, the gate may stop in
mid-travel or reverse.
It may be necessary to lubricate any mechanical parts on the gate including wheels and rollers
and clean the track of any debris.
Watch the input LED’s on terminals 4, 5, 7 and 10 while the gate operator is running to
see if any of the LED’s flicker or illuminate.
If there is an input LED that flickers or illuminates while the gate is running,
disconnect the wires one at a time from that input terminal until the LED does not flicker or illuminate to determine which
input device may be activating.
If it is the radio receiver that appears to be stuck in the on condition, check all
transmitters to see if any of them may be stuck on. A stuck transmitter may cause the gate operator to reverse.

m GATE WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE
Test the operator to find out whether the open input devices are functioning by following these steps.
If a remote
control is being used to open the gate, try another remote control or try using a push button if there is one installed.
If a
push button is being used try using another push button or a remote control.
If there is no push button installed the gate
may be operated by connecting a jumper wire to terminal 8 and momentarily touching it to terminal 5 or 7.
If the remote
controls are not working, see TRANSMITTER DOES NOT WORK on the previous page.
Check the manual release
switch to make sure it is in the operate (up) position.
Check to see which LED’s are illuminated on the circuit board. For
normal operating conditions the only LED’s that should be illuminated are the stop input at terminal 9 and Limit Switch 1
input if the gate is in the fully open position or Limit Switch 2 input if the gate is in the fully closed position.
If any of the
input LED’s are illuminated on terminals 4, 5, 7 or 10, disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the
LED is extinguished to determine which input device may be stuck.
If the stop input LED on terminal 9 is not illuminated,
check the stop input device if any are installed and all connections to the device. If no stop input device is installed make
sure that there is a jumper between terminals 8 and 9 and that it is securely fastened. Check the circuit breaker button.
If the circuit breaker is tripped, press it back in. Make sure there is power to the circuit board on terminals 13 and 14.

m THE GATE WILL NOT STOP OR REVERSE WHEN IT MEETS AN OBSTRUCTION
Adjust the gate sensitivity. The operator needs to be adjusted for more sensitivity. This is done by turning the
open and close gate sensitivity adjustments clockwise for more sensitivity. (See page 17).

m GATE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED
Make sure that the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the correct position (See page 17). If the Right/Left
Side operation switch is in the incorrect position, the auto close timer feature may be working in reverse and telling the gate
operator to open after the auto close time has elapsed.
Check to see if any input LED’s on terminals 4, 5 or 7 flicker or
illuminate when the gate gets to the closed position.
If any of the input LED’s flicker or illuminate on terminals 4, 5, or 7,
disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the LED is extinguished to determine which input device
may be activating.

m TIMER WILL NOT CLOSE THE GATE
Make sure that the Right/Left Side operation switch is in the correct position (See page 17). If the Right/Left
Side operation switch is in the incorrect position, the auto close timer feature may be working in reverse and telling the gate
operator to open instead of close after the auto close time has elapsed.
Make sure the auto close timer switch is in the
ON position (See page 17). The auto close timer switch is located on the right edge of the circuit board.
Make sure that
the radio receiver, push button or other open input device is connected to open input terminals 5 and 6. The timer will not
work if any of these devices are connected to pulse open input terminals 6 and 7.
Adjust the amount of auto close time
(See page 17). The auto close time may be set too high and is simply taking a long time to close. Do not continue pressing
the remote control or other open or safety input devices because each time an open or a safety input is given the timer will
reset and begin counting over.

m OPERATOR RUNS IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION
Check to see which LED’s are illuminated on the circuit board. For normal operating conditions the only LED’s
that should be illuminated are the stop input at terminal 9 and Limit Switch 1 input if the gate is in the fully open position or
Limit Switch 2 input if the gate is in the fully closed position.
If any of the input LED’s are illuminated on terminals 4, 5, 7
or 10, disconnect wires from that input terminal that is illuminated until the LED is extinguished to determine which input
device may be stuck.
