TURNING BOTH POWER SWITCHES ON
Turning Both Power Switches On
AC and DC power switches are located on the outside edge of the control box. See Figure 22. Aer
Programming the Inial Setup Menu, Establishing the OPEN and CLOSE Limits, Installing the Target Magnet,
and connecng to main power (Power), take the following steps:
1. Turn both power switches ON. The gate moves and searches for the target magnet to re-establish
the limits. An audible beep occurs and a red light pulsates next to the OPEN buon on the SmartDC
Controller which indicates the system is funconing. If AC power is lost, the rate of ashing slows
down. Other indicator lights are described below.
NOTE: If the target magnet is not detected by the operator, “ALERT 15 - NO TARGET” or “LEARN
OPEN” appears on the display. For more informaon, refer to “Installing the Target Magnet” on
page 66�
2. When the target magnet is detected, the soware version briey appears on the display, and then one
of the following modes appears:
• Gate status - indicates the operator is in Run Mode. Refer to “RUN MODE” on page 86.
• Alert, fault, and error messages - indicates a problem exists with the operator which needs to be
resolved before the operator can funcon properly. Refer to “SmartDC Controller Troubleshoong”
on page 151.
The SmartDC Controller can be
powered when either switch is turned
on. If the DC power switch is OFF the
motor and baeries are disconnected.
The operator will not funcon (even
though the AC power switch remains
on). When the operator is connected to
AC power and both switches are turned
ON, the charge level of the baery is
being monitored and maintained. On
a solar-powered operator, the lower
power switch connects and disconnects
the DC power from the solar panels.
