4. My gate will not
automatically close
NOTE: If DS1 switch 1 is on and switch 2 is off then the gate should
automatically close from any position. If switch 2 is also on
the gate will only automatically close if the “Retract Limit” LED
(both “open limit” LED’s for dual gate) is on.
1. Locate the “Open/Close Command “ push button. Press the button
to verify that the gate will close. If gate closes correctly then proceed
to the steps below.
2. Verify that DS1 switch 1 is on. If not, turn it on and recheck gate
operation. If gate remains open, continue with step 3.
3. If your installation is a single gate, then only DS1 switch 3 or 4 can
be on. If both are on the gate will not automatically close. Turn off
the one that is not being used and recheck gate operation.
4. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While
pushing the button observe the LED indicators located just below the
Gate 1, Gate 2 (X1, X2) actuator plugs. Note which LED’s are on.
Read note below.
NOTE: The two LED’s located below the Gate 1, Gate 2 actuator plug,
when on, represent the closure of the limit switch. If the left
LED is on, then the gate should be in the retracted position.
If the LED on the right is on, then the gate should be in the
extended position. If the LED for the retract position is not on
when the actuator is fully retracted, then the auto close will not
work. The limit switches need to be adjusted.
5. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While
pushing the button inspect the LED indicators located on the control
board (lower left corner) and note which LED’s are on. If any LED’s
are on disconnect the green J2 connector from the control board.
Press the “Open/Close Command “ push button to close the gate.
Press the button again to open the gate fully and verify the automatic
close is working.
6. If gate automatically closes correctly, then the accessory connected
to the J2 connector that is activated (LED is on) needs to be
repaired.
5. Gate begins to open
or close but stops
and reverses after a
couple of seconds
1. Remove control box cover and locate the Patriot control board.
Locate the sensitivity adjustment (see page 12) potentiometer
located on the control board. The white center is adjustable and
needs to be turned in a clockwise direction to increase force.
2. Normally a setting of 5 will operate most gates; if your gate requires
a setting above 8 there is a good chance that your gate has a
problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are incorrect
hinges, gate touching the ground; gate not level or the actuator arm
connected to the gate is bent. Identify and correct problem.
