STEP 11 Control Board Dipswitch Setting Verification
NOTE: This check must be performed before operating the gate for the first time. Failure to do so
may damage the gate operator.
Before operating the gate lets make sure the Patriot control board dipswitches are set correctly for your installation.
Locate the dipswitches on the Patriot Control board (see page 17).
Factory default dipswitch settings are 2 and 3 on.
Identify you installation below and verify dipswitch settings:
Patriot I (Pull to Open)
Dipswitches 2, 3 should be in the on position.
Patriot II (Pull to Open)
Dipswitches 2, 3, 4 should be in the on position.
Patriot I (Push to Open)
Dipswitches 2, 3, 9 should be in the on position.
Patriot II (Push to Open)
Dipswitches 2, 3, 4, 9 should be in the on position.
NOTE: Push to Open Installations Only:
Push to Open installations do not require rewiring of the actuator harnesses. The Patriot control
board dipswitch 9 eliminates the need to do this. Failure to turn dipswitch 9 on will cause
improper gate operation. Verify your installation type and verify dipswitch settings.
NOTE: The only thing to remember is that when dipswitch 9 is on, the Limit lights below the actuator plug on the
control board will show open when closed and closed when open.
STEP 12 Operating the Gate
NOTE: If soft stop is going to be used disconnect extension tube from gate at this point and turn the
extension screw 6 turns counter clockwise. This will screw the extension screw outward and once
reconnected to gate it will not be fully open. Once the gate has cycled, then make necessary limit
switch adjustment.
You should be able to stop the motor with the “Open/Close Command” button or the “Reset” button on the control
board (see figure 15 on page 12) without having to disconnect the actuator plug from the control board, but in
cases of incorrect wiring, the plug can be used as an emergency power shut-off.
If you have an understanding of the sensitivity feature, how to disconnect the actuator plug in an emergency, and
have verified the dipswitch settings in step 11 it is time to operate the gate.
NOTE: In most installations the current sense beeper on the control board will beep when the gate begins
to operate. This is not a problem. If the beep is constant the gate will stop and reverse direction.
Locate the “Open / Close Command” pushbutton on the Patriot control board, this will be used to operate the gate.
Press the “Open / Close Command” pushbutton to operate the gate. If the gate operates and then reverses direction
then a current sense adjustment must be made (see page 12, step 10).
Once current sense adjustment is made press the “Open / Close Command” button again.
The gate should operate without current sensing if adjustment was made correctly. If operator still current senses
then readjust the sensitivity. Most installations will operate correctly with a setting of 5. Remember to set slave
sensitivity also.
The gate should stop about 24” before the desired stop position. Final adjustment will be made later.
Press the “Open / Close Command” pushbutton again.
The gate should return to the original retracted position (the install position).
