Why is my Topens CK2500 Gate Opener remote control not working?

  Ellen MorrisonAug 6, 2025
  If your Topens Gate Opener's remote control isn't working, first check the remote's battery and replace it if needed. If the indicator light is off, that's likely the problem. Also, make sure you're not too far from the opener when using the remote. If the remote still doesn't work, erase the remote controls and then re-program the codes in the device, ensuring the codes are correct and that the remote is suitable for the receiver. If none of these steps work, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.

Why does my Topens CK2500 Gate Opener open, but fail to close?

  If your Topens Gate Opener can open but fails to close, first check if the photocell is obstructed and remove any obstructions. If that's not the issue, check the limit switch by removing the wire connection of the limit switch which is connected to the 9#, 10#, and 11# terminals of the control board and then try it again. Replace the limit switch if the motor could run in both directions. If the problem persists, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.

  If your Topens Gate Opener does not run and the power LED is OFF, check the input voltage of the control board to ensure it's receiving local AC electricity. Make sure the power switch is turned ON. Inspect the fuse in the control board, replacing it if it's burnt out. If problems persist, the control board may need replacing.

What to do if Topens CK2500 Gate Opener does not run but the power LED is ON?
- N
  Nicholas ReynoldsAug 20, 2025
  If your Topens Gate Opener isn't running but the power LED is on, there could be several reasons: * Ensure the remote control has been programmed to the control board. * The thermal protector may be active due to high temperature after prolonged use. Wait 20 minutes for the motor to cool down. * Check the magnet installation. The opener won't run if both limit switches are activated by one magnet. * Inspect the limit switch by removing the wire connection connected to terminals 9#, 10#, and 11# on the control board and try again. If the motor then runs in both directions, replace the limit switch. * As a last resort, check the control board and replace if necessary.

  Cory CarpenterAug 26, 2025
  If your Topens Gate Opener opens but then stops and won't return, check the installation position of the magnets, as the opener will not run if both limit switches are activated by one magnet. Also, check the limit switch. Remove the wire connection of the limit switch which is connected to the 9#, 10#, and 11# terminals of the control board and then try it again. Replace the limit switch if the motor could run in both directions. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the control board may need to be checked or replaced.
