6. Single Gate opens
or closes correctly,
then immediately
reverses direction.
1. This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment.
The limit switch adjustments are located on the bottom of the
actuator motor housing, behind the removable rubber plug. Locate
the limit switch adjustment screws and determine which one needs
to be adjusted (see page 39). Operate the gate. Once it reaches the
desired retract or extend position, stop the gate in that position using
the transmitter or “Open/Close Command” push button located on
the Patriot control board.
2. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button located on the left side of
the Patriot control board. Also locate the retract and extend LED
indicators below the actuator plug on the Patriot control board. The
left LED represents the retract position and the right LED represents
the extend position.
3. With the gate in the desired open or close position, press and hold
the “LED Indicator.” Observe which of the LED lights come on. If
your actuator is in the desired retracted position, then the LED on
the left should be on. If not adjust the retract limit switch (see page
39) until the LED comes on. If actuator was in the extend position
adjust the extend limit switch until the close LED comes on.
4. Once adjusted correctly the retract limit LED should be on when the
actuator is retracted and the extend limit LED should be on when the
actuator is extended.
5. If the LED’s will not come on contact the factory.
7. Dual Gate opens
or closes correctly
then immediately
reverses direction.
1. This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment.
First determine which gate is in need of adjustment.
2. Locate the DS1 switches on the Patriot control board. Switch 3 and
4 should be turned on for a dual gate, turn off switch 4. This will
disable one gate.
3. Operate the gate and verify that it stops in the correct position. If so
then turn switch 4 back on and turn switch 3 off. Operate the other
gate now and verify that it stops in the correct position. One or both
may not stop in the correct position.
4. Once the gate that needs adjustment is identied (possibly both)
refer to problem 6 above steps 1 through 5 for instructions.
