Why is the USAutomatic Gate Opener stop position changing?

  If the gate's open and close stop position is changing, the limit switch lever may be bent and not contacting the limit cam nut at the correct location. The limit cam nut's leading edge should depress the limit switch lever well before reaching the peak of the limit switch lever. Gently adjust the limit switch lever so that the limit cam nut depresses it before reaching the lever's peak.

Why is my USAutomatic PATRIOT RSL Gate Opener photo-eye not reversing the gate or holding it open?

  If the photo-eye isn't reversing the gate or holding it open, begin by checking the accessory wiring. The accessory needs power (+12 Vdc) wired to the battery's positive terminal or to J2 pin 1 on the Patriot control board. It also needs a ground, which can be wired to the battery or to J2 pin 2 or 7 on the Patriot control board. The other two connections are the 'N/O (Normally Open) and Common ground'. The common ground can be connected to the battery or to J2 pin 2 or 7 on the Patriot control board. The N/O connection must be connected to J2 pin 11 'Safety Loop / Reversing Edge Input'.

  If your single gate won't operate, start by removing the control box cover and pressing the 'Open/Close Command' button. Also, press the 'Reset' button above it, then try the 'Open/Close Command' button again. Listen for a clicking sound. If you hear it, verify the following: * The wire harness is connected to the gear motor cable in the battery compartment. * The 15-amp fuse on the control board is good (replace if needed using the spare on the board). * Dipswitches 3 and 4 have the correct settings based on the actuator's connection (Gate 1 or Gate 2). If these are correct, the fuse is good, the harness is connected, and you hear a click, have the battery load tested and charge or replace it as needed. Press and hold the 'LED Indicator' button and check the red LEDs. If both limi...
