2. My dual gate will not
operate. (Patriot II)
1. Follow steps 1 through 6 above.
2. Disconnect the actuator connectors plugged into the control board
Gate 1 and Gate 2 (X1 and X2). Then locate the DS1 dipswitches on
the control board. Turn off switch 4 (down on left side) and turn on
switch 3 (down on the right side).
Reconnect the connector from the actuator that goes to the gate
closest to you. Connect it to the Gate 1 (X1) connector on the
control board. Press the “Open/Close Command” button and verify
that the gate operates.
3. If the gate operates correctly, disconnect the actuator plug and
connect the other actuator plug into the Gate 1 (X1) connector.
Press the “Open/Close Command” button and verify that the gate
operates correctly. At this point you have tested each actuator
individually. If both worked correctly in Gate 1 then go back to DS1
and turn switch 3 off and switch 4 on. Then repeat step 2 and 3
again using Gate 2 (X2) connector on control board in place of Gate
1 (X1).
4. If a problem is observed in steps 2 or 3 above most likely it was
when the Gate 2 actuator (located the greatest distance from control
box) was being tested. If this is correct check wiring splices for
moisture, correct wiring etc. If the wiring is not in watertight conduit,
this is most likely the problem. Tape is not watertight.
