Learning 816-1K actuator
1. Connect battery power to board.
2. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors, Loops and
other safety devices.
3. Remove the limit switch screw end caps from the Apollo 816-1K Series actuator. See section 1.8 Apollo 816-1K Se-
ries Limit Screw Adjustment.
4. Test the motor direction by pressing CLOSE. If the gate instead OPENS swap the RED and BLACK motor leads
shown in Figure 7 and retest to verify correct operation.
5. Adjust the Open limit by pressing the Open button on the gate controller until the gate is fully open. Turn the Retract
Limit Screw (figure 9 - 10 Apollo 816-1K Series Limit Screw Adjustment) clockwise or counter-clockwise as necessary
until the Motor 1 LED turns GREEN.

8. Press FUNCTION -> LEARN -> SWING, then press LIGHT, AVERAGE OR HEAVY according to the size of the
gate, then press ENTER. The gate will open partially then stop. This is being done, so that the control board can
sense the type and operational condition of the drive motor. The gate will then run to the closing limit, so that it can
properly sense where the close limit. The gate will then fully open to test the open limit, then fully close at high speed.
The gate should be fully learned by the gate operator at this point.
9. Replace the Apollo 816-1K Series actuator limit switch screw end caps.
10. The gate opener is now programmed for basic usage.
