How to fix a DTS Gate Opener that won't respond to the remote?
- J
  James BatesSep 6, 2025
  If your DTS Gate Opener isn't responding to the remote or manual push button, here's what you can check: * **Flat transmitter battery:** Replace the battery. * **Damaged transmitter or button:** Contact your supplier. * **Programming issues:** Follow the receiver setup instructions. * **Wiring problems:** Check the wiring between the PCB and the push button. * **Low battery:** Press and hold the pedestrian remote or manual push button connected to PD on PCB for approximately 13 seconds until PCB gives 5 long beeps. * **Faulty fuse or motor brushes:** Replace the fuse or repair/replace the motor brushes if they are shorter than 7mm. * **Overloaded auxiliary output:** Remove some of the auxiliaries, or connect them directly to the battery.

Why does my DTS Garage Door open partially, then close?

  Walter CalderonSep 4, 2025
  If your DTS unit gives two beeps, opens partially then stops, gives two beeps then closes, or if the gate opens fast but closes slowly, check these: * The pedestrian (PT) mode on the PCB might be triggered; check the equipment/cabling attached to the pedestrian (PT) input on the PCB. * A transmitter code may have been programmed incorrectly into the pedestrian (PD LRN) function of the receiver; delete the transmitter and reprogram it into the receivers (BT LRN) as per instructions. * There might be a lost contact between the override read switch and PCB; check the contact between the read switch and PCB (Green wire). * There could be a lost open limit connection after the gate stopped on the limit; move the actuator and/or motor closer to each other.

What to do if my DTS Garage Door unit does not stop running at the limit actuator?
- A

  If your DTS unit doesn't stop running when it reaches a limit actuator: * The limit input may be wired incorrectly (out of sync with the motor direction); re-wire it. * The limit switch might be faulty; change the limit switch or check with your supplier.

What to do if my DTS Garage Door stops and closes during opening cycles?

  If your DTS gate stops and closes during opening cycles, or auto-opens, or doesn't run in slow speed during programming, it could be due to: * Activated P.I.R.A.C. mode; de-activate P.I.R.A.C. mode. * Incorrectly selected motor direction; select Dipswitch 2 correctly. * Blown or faulty MOS-FET on the PCB; replace the PCB.

What causes my DTS Garage Door gate motor to jump teeth on the rack?
- T
  thomas46Aug 29, 2025
  If your DTS garage door motor is jumping teeth on the rack, consider these causes: * Incorrect pinion-to-rack spacing; re-align. * Rack insufficiently fastened to the gate leaf; re-align and correct fastening. * Debris on the track; clean the track.

Why does my DTS Garage Door give two beeps when opening?

  If your DTS unit beeps twice while opening, it likely means the primary power supply has failed, and it's running on battery reserve. Check the household main supply, the AC transformer or DC Power Supply Unit, and all related cabling.

What to do if my DTS Garage Door gate stops and reverses when closing?
- M
  Michelle MatthewsAug 27, 2025
  If your DTS Garage Door gate stops and reverses while closing, or stops while opening, consider these possible causes: * The unit might be sensing an obstruction; clear any obstructions or adjust the load sensing. * The infra-red beam may have been triggered; clear any obstructions. * Another trigger might have been received by the control card; check with other operators on the system. * The encoder could be faulty; turn the ring magnet on the motor by hand and check the encoder LED. Contact your supplier if there's no activity. Also, verify that the PCB is fitted correctly.

What to do if my DTS Garage Door gate opens but will not close?
- A
  alexander77Aug 23, 2025
  If your DTS garage door opens but won't close, it could be due to the following reasons: * If the primary supply has failed and the unit is running on battery reserve with the condominium/loop option selected and it has reached its low battery limit (9.5 Volt), check the household main supply, the transformer or PSU and all related cabling. * Obstructed or faulty safety infra-red beams or cabling; clear any obstructions, repair or replace the beams/cable, and fix any incorrect wiring.
