Why won't my USAutomatic PATRIOT II battery stay charged?
The most common reason a USAutomatic Gate Opener battery (AC or Solar Charged) won't stay charged is because the battery is bad. It is highly recommended that the battery be load tested at a battery store to verify that it is good.
How to fix USAutomatic PATRIOT II 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.
What to do if my USAutomatic Gate Opener 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.
Why does the USAutomatic PATRIOT II 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 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 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 USAutomatic PATRIOT II Gate Opener stops and reverses during opening/closing?
If your USAutomatic gate begins to open or close but stops and reverses after a couple of seconds, remove the control box cover and find the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer on the Patriot control board. Adjust the white center in a clockwise direction to increase the force. A setting of 5 usually works for most gates. If your gate needs a setting above 8, it likely has a problem that needs fixing, such as incorrect hinges, the gate touching the ground, the gate not being level, or a bent actuator arm connected to the gate. Identify and correct the underlying issue.
Why does my USAutomatic dual gate open/close immediately after operation?
If your dual USAutomatic gate opens correctly then closes immediately, or closes correctly then opens immediately, determine which gate needs adjustment. Locate the DS1 switches on the Patriot control board. Turn off switch 4 to disable one gate. Operate the gate and verify that it stops in the correct position. If so, turn switch 4 back on and turn switch 3 off. Operate the other gate and verify that it stops correctly. If one or both gates don't stop correctly, identify the gate needing adjustment and refer to problem 6, steps 1 through 5 for instructions.
Why USAutomatic gate opens but won't close using transmitter?
If your USAutomatic gate opens using the transmitter but won't close (Low Current Receiver only), the P2 relay may be programmed to latch mode. Refer to page 21 to reset the receiver P2 relay to momentary mode. Also, return to troubleshooting section 4 and perform steps 1-6.
How to fix Oracle Remote/Transmitter not operating USAutomatic gate?
If your Oracle Remote/Transmitter will not operate the gate, verify the wiring from the DFGCU receiver to J5 is not damaged. Replace the batteries in the remote/transmitter if necessary. If problems persist, call the factory for help.
