Rebooting the system: This function is done if all voltage and ohms test good but the operator will not respond to anything.
Reboot the system by holding down buttons labeled S3, S4 and S5 at the same time, while turning the operator off
then back on, and then releasing the three buttons. The unit has then returned to all factory settings. Then the unit
must be reprogrammed to the functions desired.
The transformer: Two things can cause failure. The first is shorting the leads during the installation, or letting the strands
touch at the terminal on the control board. The second is a static charge (generally associated with a lightning storm
or power outage); use of a surge protector will help.
Testing the battery: This is a 12 volt 7 amp hour battery. The proper way to test this is to perform a load test. Place the volt
meter on D.C.; put the red probe on the (+) positive terminal and place the black probe on (–) negative terminal.
Then activate the unit and watch the volt meter. The drop should not be more than 1 volt.
Note: A loose battery terminal will cause the same symptoms that a bad battery will cause. Terminals should be
secure and corrosion free.
Remote control range: This will vary at each installation. (see F.C.C. disclaimer on page 25), the range of this device can
vary from 50 to 100 feet, depending upon weather, topography and outside interference.
Make sure that the receiver is located above metal fences.
Moving the receiver even a few inches can change the range of operation.
Move the receiver as far from the motor as possible to avoid the chance of electrical interference.
Check or change the battery in the transmitter.
