    What to do if RAMSET RAM 1000 Gate Opener moves a couple of feet and then reverses?
    • R
      Ronald StewartAug 27, 2025
      If your RAMSET Gate Opener moves a couple of feet and then reverses, it might be because the E.R.D. is too sensitive. For 1/2 hp motors, turn dip switch “A” 4 ‘On’. For 3/4 hp motors, turn dip switch “B” 8 ‘On’.

    Why RAMSET RAM 1000 doesn't close automatically?
    • R
      Robert SmithAug 28, 2025
      If your RAMSET Gate Opener doesn't close automatically, it could be due to these reasons: * Dip switches “A” 1-3 are all ‘Off’. Set dip switches “A” 1-3 for auto close. * A dip switch is not fully engaged. Turn off dip switches “A” 1-3, then turn the appropriate switches back ‘On’.
