ProblemCause/Solution
1. Opener does not run. Digital Display indicator is not on.• Check if all motor are properly connected and color coded. Make sure the AC input is connected.
• Check if the fuse in control board is bad.
2. Opener powers up but does not run.• Arm cable loose or disconnected. Verify that all of the wires going to the arm are secure and that the connector is properly mated to the header.
• Arm is incorrectly installed. Disconnect the motor housing from the arm and verify that the arm moves freely.
• Gate is excessively heavy or hinges are bad. Verify that the gate is within the ratings for this product. Disconnect the arms and verify that both gates swing easily. Lubricate or replace hinges as necessary.
• Bad control board. Call technical support for help with replacement parts.
3. Gate stops immediately after it starts moving.• Obstruction sensed. Check safety devices and gate for obstructions.
• Force set too low. Adjust FORCE setting until gate completes a full open/dose cycle without stop. The force setting may need to be adjusted in cold weather, as the gate will not move freely.
• Check if the MRT period is too short.
• Incorrect power.
4. Gate opens but does not close.•Photocell (PBS) is set in Control Board but is not equipped (optional). Please cancel the PBS set.
• Obstruction blocking close photo eyes, Check eyes for alignment and verify all connections and operation for safety devices.
5. Gate ignores the limit switches• Check that the limit switch is not faulty
• Check that wires to the limit switch are not shorted.
• Ensure that the motor cable is away from sources of electrical interference, such as electric fences, power lines etc.
6. Gate opens, closes or stops on its own•Ensure that the key for manual release is in the lock position.

The opener does not run. Power LED flash slowly(flash once per second).1. Battery is over-dsiacharge. Check the voltage of the battery. The voltage of the battery should above 22V to make the gate opener work normally.
The opener does not run. Power LED does not ON.1. Make sure the connection between the battery and control board is correct and fastening.
2. Check the fuse in the control board. Replace the fuse if it was burnt out.
3. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
Gate moves a little and then reverse or stop1. The selected force is too small to move the gate. Turn the Potentiometer clock-wise to increase the force.
2. Disconnect the gate from the gate operator and check that the gate slides freely without any binding.
Gate opener does not run when you press the remote control1. Make sure the remote has been programmed to the control board before using.
2. The battery of the remote may be exhausted. Replace the battery and try it again.
3. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
Gate can open but does not close1. Make sure the connection of the photocell beam is not blocked if the photocell is used.
2. Check if the close limit switch is broken.
3. Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.
