Why does my DKS Gate Opener open a short distance, then stop and reverse?

If your DKS Gate Opener opens a short distance, then stops and reverses, consider the following: * Ensure the clutch is properly adjusted and not slipping. * Disconnect the gate from the operator to check for free movement without binding. * Verify that SW-1, switch 7 is correctly set. * Check the PULSE LED on the circuit board; PULSE 1 should blink when the primary operator runs, and PULSE 2 should blink when the secondary operator runs. If a PULSE LED isn't blinking, ensure the magnetic sensor is within 1/32 inch of the magnetic counter ring. * Consider replacing the magnetic sensor or the circuit board.
