WARNING - DISCONNECT BATTERIES AND AC POWER BEFORE
SERVICING ANY MECHANICAL OR MOVING COMPONENTS.
BATTERY CHECKOUT
When the batteries become weak the gate will begin to run
noticeably slower. NOTE: Batteries should only be checked when
you are sure they have had adequate time to fully charge. Turn off
the AC power and run gate for 5 to 10 cycles while observing low
battery indicator LED D12. If LED 12 comes ON, batteries are too
weak to function properly. If LED 12 does not light, then voltage
should be checked as they still maybe near failure. Correct
voltage is approximately 24.5Vdc. NOTE: If LED D12 does light,
gate will open to conserve batteries in this test or in a real power
loss, even if mode switch 8 on S2 is off. Return of AC power will
clear low battery indicator. Correct charge voltage is 27.5 Vdc
with batteries not connected (set with R63, shown on the Control
Board Layout page).

The max timer (MRT) has expired. Remove AC and battery power
then reapply to reset. Inspect the belt for slippage and verify the
fast run timer settings are correct.
