TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATOR & ACCESSORIES
SYMPTOM
Some troubleshooting will require a hand held multimeter. An inexpensive digital multimeter may be
purchased at Radio Shack or a local electric supply company. Refer to the owners manual for
instructions.
Gate opens OK but after closing, opens back up.
1. Excessive closing pressure on gate. Re-adjust the close limit switch on the operator.
2. Automatic reverse sensitivity is set too sensitive. Re-adjust - CAUTION: Automatic reverse sensitivity
should be set sensitive enough to avoid injury.
3. Gate is mechanically binding. Disconnect operator from gate and eliminate binding.
4. Battery voltage is too low. Battery voltage should be 12 to 14 volts under load. Check solar panel output or
battery charger output or re-evaluate usage.
5. Replace circuit board.
