Why does my USAutomatic dual gate reverse direction immediately?
If your USAutomatic dual gate opens or closes correctly, then immediately reverses direction, the cause may be incorrect limit switch adjustment. Refer to problem 6, steps 1 through 5 for instructions.
Why does my USAutomatic single gate reverse direction immediately?
If your USAutomatic single gate opens or closes correctly and then immediately reverses direction, it could be due to incorrect limit switch adjustment. Locate the limit switch adjustment screws to determine which one needs adjustment. Press and hold the “LED Indicator” and observe which LED lights come on, then adjust the limit switch accordingly.
Why isn't my USAutomatic Gate Opener safety accessory working?
If the photo-eye, safety loop, or other safety accessory on your USAutomatic Gate Opener isn't reversing the gate when closing or holding it open, check the accessory wiring. Ensure the accessory is operating correctly by repairing it if necessary. For further assistance, contact the factory.
Why does my USAutomatic gate stop and reverse direction?
If your USAutomatic gate begins to open or close but stops and reverses after a few seconds, the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer may not be set correctly. Locate it and turn it clockwise. If your gate requires a setting above 8, it likely has a mechanical problem that needs correction.
What to do if my USAutomatic Patriot II dual gate won't operate?
If your USAutomatic Patriot II dual gate won't operate, follow steps 1 through 6 from the single gate troubleshooting. Disconnect both actuator connectors (X1 and X2), then turn off switch 4 and turn on switch 3 on the DS1 dipswitches. Press the “Open/Close Command” button to verify gate operation. Disconnect the actuator plug and connect the other actuator plug into the X1 connector, then press the “Open/Close Command” button to verify proper operation. Revert DS1 switch 3 off and switch 4 on, then repeat steps 2 and 3 using the X2 connector. Check wiring splices for moisture and ensure correct wiring of the slave actuator.
Why does the USAutomatic Gate Opener fuse blow when opening or closing?
If the 15 amp fuse on your USAutomatic Gate Opener control board blows when giving an Open/Close command, it could be due to something preventing the gate from moving, incorrect limit switch settings, or a wiring problem. Open the control box to access the Patriot control board. Adjust the limit switches if the open limit LED is on when the gate is closed, or if the close limit LED is on when the gate is open. Check all splices and ensure the actuator connector is properly connected at the control board. If problems persist, contact the factory for troubleshooting.
What to do if my USAutomatic PATRIOT I won't close automatically?
If your USAutomatic Gate Opener isn't closing automatically, check that DS1 switch 1 is turned on. Ensure that only one of DS1 switches 3 or 4 is on, turning off the one not in use. Adjust the limit switches if needed. Also, try disconnecting the green J2 connector from the control board and pressing the “Open/Close Command” push button to close the gate. Verify that any accessory connected to the J2 connector that is activated (LED is on) is working correctly.
How to fix USAutomatic PATRIOT I remote not working?
If your USAutomatic Gate Opener remote isn't working, ensure the green J2 connector on the control board is securely connected. Replace the battery in the transmitter. Also, check that the dipswitches in the transmitter are set identically to those in the receiver. If the “Push Button Input” LED comes on but the gate doesn't operate, verify the 15-amp fuse on the Patriot control board is not blown. Finally, check if a safety accessory connected to the green J2 connector is active and correct the problem.
