| The time delay to close is set by the trim pot | |
| To turn this system off turn the trim pot all the way clockwise | |
| Make sure gate is fully open | |
| Check photobeam path for obstruction | |
| Check photobeam power | |
| Check loop detectors for proper function | |
| Gate opens in the opposite desired direction | Verily your motor cable is connected to the proper connector |
| Check that all motor cable connections, junctions and extensions are properly connected and color-coded | |
| On a Master/Slave installation, one gate runs in the opposite direction | Check the motor and limit switch wiring |
| Verify that one unit is connected as open-left and one unit is connected as open- right | |
| Verify the interconnecting wiring color codes match on both the master and slave boards | |
| Verify you are using shielded cables and that the shield is connected to the chassis ground at both ends, the master side and at the slave side | |
| Gate opens. Closes or stops on its own | Make sure that the ‘Charger’ LED is on and not flashing, indicating that there is AC power |
| Check that your wires from your accessories are: a) Not shorting together b) Not shorting a power line c) Not shorting to metal or earth ground | |
| ‘Charger’ LED off. Gate does not run - alarm sounds upon any input command | Check the 4 Amp fuse on the control board |
| Check the 3 Amp fuse on the EMI control board | |
| Make sure the incoming AC line is properly connected | |
| Check the incoming high voltage power supply | |
| Check the proper selection of power supply (120/220 VAC). | |
| Verify the EMI board by reading high voltage across the (4) blue and red wires at the terminal block connections. | |
| Battery voltage reads zero or very low | Ensure the batteries are connected as follows: a) Left battery - Black terminal connected to the black wire from the harness (jacketed wire) b) Left battery - Red terminal connected to the red wire from fuse holder c) Right battery - Black terminal connected to the red wire from fuse holder d) Right battery - Red terminal connected to the red wire from the harness (jacketed wire) |
