What to do if pressing the 'RESET' button causes my USAutomatic Ranger HD to operate?
If pressing the 'RESET' button causes the gate to operate, first locate the 'LED Indicator' push button on the Ranger control board and the 'Push Button Input' LED below the J2 terminal plug. Press the 'LED Indicator' button and observe the 'Push Button Input' LED. If the LED lights up, the receiver relay is stuck closed and needs repair or replacement.
Why won't my USAutomatic Gate Opener battery stay charged?
A battery that won't stay charged could be due to several reasons. First, have the battery load tested at a battery store to ensure it's in good condition. If the battery is good, consider checking the system design, installation, or if there are charging problems with the battery controller. Ensure the solar panel faces South to Southwest and isn't shaded. Also, accessories connected to the system might be using more energy than the charging system provides. If using AC power, check the transformer output with a voltmeter; it should read about 20 VDC, and replace it with USAutomatic part # 520009 if incorrect. Finally, measure the DC voltage from the solar panel, which should typically be about 19 to 22 VDC in direct sunlight.
What to do if my USAutomatic Ranger HD Gate Opener opens with the transmitter but won't close?
If your gate opens with the transmitter but won't close, the LCR receiver's P2 relay may be programmed to latch mode. Resetting receiver P2 relay to momentary mode may solve the issue.
Why does the 20 amp fuse blow when connecting the wiring harness to the battery of my USAutomatic Ranger HD Gate Opener?
A possible short in the wiring harness may cause the 20 amp fuse to blow when the harness is connected to the battery.
