If your Topens Gate Opener gate reverses while opening or closing, first ensure that the gates swing freely without any obstructions. Also, the stall force might be too low; try turning the Potentiometer E to increase it. Finally, check that the photo beam isn't blocked if you're using a photocell.
What to do if both gates of my Topens A3132 Gate Opener do not move?
If your Topens Gate Opener gates don't move, it could be due to several reasons. Try re-powering the gate opener. If the issue persists, the control board might be faulty and need replacement.
How to fix Topens Gate Opener when both gates do not move?
If your Topens Gate Opener gates aren't moving, start by making sure the remote is correctly programmed to the control board. If that's not the issue, the remote's battery may be dead; try replacing it.
Why my Topens Gate Opener both gates do not move and I'm using photocell?
If your Topens Gate Opener gates aren't moving, a potential issue could be a blocked photo beam if you're using a photocell. Ensure the photo beam is clear.
What to do if Topens A3132 gate stops while opening or closing?
If your Topens Gate Opener gate stops while opening or closing, it might be due to two sequential contact entrapments being detected. Make sure there are no obstacles blocking the gate's path. You may also need to increase the stall force.
Why does my Topens A3132 gate stop when opening or closing?
If your Topens Gate Opener gate stops while opening or closing, it's possible that two sequential photo beam blockages have been detected. Ensure that the photo beam is not blocked.
What to do if one gate runs normally but the other one does not move in Topens A3132?
If one gate of your Topens Gate Opener runs normally while the other doesn't, try exchanging the wire connections of the two arms. If the same arm remains faulty, the arm itself is likely the problem. If the issue switches to the other arm, the control board is likely faulty.
Why does my Topens A3132 Gate Opener automatically opens, but does not automatically close?
If your Topens Gate Opener gate opens automatically but doesn't automatically close, the setting of DIP switch #1 could be incorrect. Ensure the DIP switch is set correctly according to your gate opener installation (push/pull).
