TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND TO
AN ACTIVATING SIGNAL.
SOLUTION:
You should have at least one operator wired to
terminals APM1 and CHM1.
Verify that all the correct leds are illuminated. If they are
not illuminated, be sure that you have closed circuits in
the stop and reversing inputs.
Verify that your activating device works properly. OP
should illuminate on the display when you signal the
gate to open. If OP does not illuminate when you signal
the gate, then the problem may be in your activating
device. Short across terminals OPEN A and COM. If the
short causes the gate to open, then the problem is in
the activating device. Repair or replace the device
.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOESN'T OPEN (OR CLOSE)
THOUGH THE MOTORS ARE RUNNING.
SOLUTION:
Make sure that the motor is running in the right
direction, and make sure the Manual Release
mechanism has fully engaged the system.
PROBLEM: THE GATE OPENS BUT DOES NOT
CLOSE.
SOLUTION:
Make sure you have selected the desired operating
mode.
Verify that the reversing devices are working properly.
FSWOP and FSWCL should be illuminated except when a
reversing device is triggered. If either does not
illuminate, then one of your reversing devices is
preventing the gate from responding to your signal.
Check your reversing devices.
If no reversing devices are installed, make sure a circuit
is installed between appropriate terminals.
PROBLEM: THE GATE DOES NOT FULLY OPEN
(OR CLOSE).
SOLUTION:
The control panel might need to be reprogrammed. If the gate
has warn or damaged hinges or hardware the panel might
need to be reprogrammed for this type of problem.
Check to see that there are no obstructions in the path
of the gate or that the hinges are not binding.
PROBLEM: THE OPERATOR DOESN'T WORK
SMOOTHLY AND THE GATE JERKS AS IT OPENS
AND CLOSES.
SOLUTION:
Make sure the Manual Release Mechanism has fully
engaged the worm screw operation of the operator.
Make sure that a flexible gate leaf is not the problem. If
the gate leaf flexes, then stiffen the gate or use a slower
operator.
WARNING! Before you do any work on the control panel,
be sure to turn off the main power. And disconnect the batteries
