If the indicator light on the remote isn't lighting up, the battery may be dead and needs replacing. Ensure you are within range of the opener. If the remote still isn't working, it may not be properly paired with the receiver. Try erasing the remote control codes and re-programming them. If the issue persists, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.
What to do if Topens gate opener starts but immediately stops or reverses?
This issue could be due to the opening or closing force being set too low. Try increasing the force by adjusting Potentiometer A&B. Also, disconnect the gate from the gate opener to verify that the gate can slide freely without sticking. If the problem continues, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.
What to do if Topens gate can open, but fails to close?
An obstruction in the photocell might be the reason. Remove any obstructions. Another potential cause is the limit switch; try disconnecting the wire from terminals 9, 10, and 11 on the control board and testing again. Replace the limit switch if the motor can then run in both directions. If the issue persists, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.
What to do if Topens gate opener does not run but power LED is ON?
First, make sure that the remote control has been programmed to the control board. If the motor has been working for a long time, the thermal protector may be activated due to high temperature. Wait about 20 minutes for the motor to cool down. Check the installation of the magnets; the opener will not function if both limit switches are activated by one magnet. Inspect the limit switch by removing the wire connections from terminals 9, 10, and 11 on the control board and test again. If the motor then runs in both directions, replace the limit switch. If problems persist, the control board may need inspection or replacement.
How to fix Topens gate opener that does not run and power LED is OFF?
Check that the input voltage of the control board matches your local AC electricity. Ensure the power switch is turned ON. Inspect the fuse in the control board and replace it if it's burnt out. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the control board may need to be checked and possibly replaced.
Why Topens gate opener opens, but stops and will not return?
The problem might be related to the position of the magnets. The opener will not function correctly if both limit switches are activated by a single magnet. Check the limit switch by disconnecting the wire from terminals 9, 10, and 11 on the control board and testing again. If the motor then runs in both directions, replace the limit switch. If problems persist, the control board may need to be inspected or replaced.
