STEP 2 Verify that DS1 switch 1 is on. If not, turn it on and recheck gate operation. If gate remains open,
continue with step 3.
STEP 3 If your installation is a single gate, then only DS1 switch 3 or 4 can be on. If both are on the gate will
not automatically close. Turn off the one that is not being used and recheck gate operation.
STEP 4 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button observe the
LED indicators located just below the X1, X2 (master, slave) actuator plugs. Note which LED’s are
on. Read note below.
NOTE: The two LED’s located below the X1, X2 actuator plug, when on, represent the closure of the limit
switch. If the left LED is on, then the gate should be in the open position. If the LED on the right is on,
then the gate should be in the closed position. If DS1 switch 9 (operating direction reverse) is on then
this is reversed. If the LED for the open position is not on when the gate is fully opened, then the auto
close will not work. The limit switches need to be adjusted.
STEP 5 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button inspect the
LED indicators located on the control board (lower left corner) and note which LED’s are on. If any
LED’s are on disconnect the green J2 connector from the control board. Press the “Open/Close
Command” push button to close the gate. Press the button again to open the gate fully and verify the
automatic close is working.
STEP 6 If gate automatically closes correctly, then the accessory connected to the J2 connector that is
activated (LED is on) needs to be repaired or replaced.
5. Gate begins to open or close but stops and reverses after a couple of seconds.
STEP 1 Remove control box cover and locate the Patriot control board. Locate the sensitivity adjustment
potentiometer (see page 12) located on the control board. The white center is adjustable and needs to be
turned in a clockwise direction.
STEP 2 Normally a setting of 5 will operate most gates. If your gate requires a setting above 8, there is a good
chance that your gate has a mechanical problem which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are
incorrect hinges, gate touching the ground, gate not level or the actuator arm connected to the gate is
bent. Identify and correct problem.
6. Single Gate opens or closes correctly, then immediately reverses direction:
STEP 1 This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment. The limit switch adjustments are
located on the bottom of the actuator motor housing, behind the removable rubber plug. Locate the
limit switch adjustment screws and determine which one needs to be adjusted (see page 15). Operate
the gate. Once it reaches the desired open or close position, stop the gate in that position using the
transmitter or “Open/Close Command” push button located on the Patriot control board.
STEP 2 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button located on the left side of the Patriot control board. Also
locate the open and close LED indicators below the actuator plug on the Patriot control board. The
left LED represents the open position and the right LED represents the close position. (See note
below)
STEP 3 With the gate in the desired open or close position, press and hold the “LED Indicator.” Observe
which of the LED lights come on. If your gate is in the desired open position, then the LED on the
left should be on. If not, adjust the retract limit switch (see page 15) until the LED comes on. If gate
was in the close position adjust the extend limit switch until the close LED comes on.
NOTE: If DS1 switch 9 is turned on, then the open and close LED’s are reversed. Open LED represents the
closed position and the close LED represents the open position.
