Why is my Automatic Technology ATS-2 Gate Opener not working with the transmitter?

  If your Automatic Technology Gate Opener isn't responding to the transmitter, there could be several reasons. First, make sure the gate is in good working order. A faulty gate (e.g., broken springs) can prevent the opener from working. You should check the gate's operation. Second, verify that the opener is receiving power by plugging another device of similar voltage into the same power point. Third, the transmitter battery might be dead, so try replacing it. Fourth, the opener may be in 'Vacation Mode,' so turn it off. Finally, the transmitter button may not be correctly programmed; in that case, code the transmitter.
