Limit Cam Nut - Two limit cam nuts are located on the top of the operator; the limit nut locking plate is spring-

loaded and must be depressed before adjusting the limit cam nut. After limit cam nut has been

adjusted make certain that the limit nut locking plate fully engages the limit cam nut to keep it from

rotating.

Gate Chain -

This is the long chain connected to the gate and travels through the operator.

Drive Chain -

This is the short chain that connects the gear motor to the manual release shaft.

Slide gate operator will not operate:

STEP 1

Remove control box cover locate the “Open/Close Command” push button and press it to operate the gate.

STEP 2

Press the “Reset” push button located above the open close command, then push the “Open/Close Command” push
button to operate the gate.

STEP 3

When pressing the “Open/Close Command” push button, listen for a clicking sound, if click is heard then verify: The
15-amp fuse located on the control board is good if not replace it using the spare located on the control board. Also
check the dipswitches (3 and 4) for correct switch settings based on where the harness is connected to the control
board (Master or Slave). If switches and fuse are good and clicking sound is heard the battery needs to be load tested
to determine its condition. Charge or replace depending on results.

STEP 4

Press and hold the “LED Indicator” push button and observe all of the red LED’s (see page 23 for location):

a. If the two limit LED’s located below the actuator plug are both on the operator will not operate. Verify that only

one or no limit LED’s are on. If both limit LED’s are on adjust limit cam nuts to the correct location.

b. If any of the LED’s in the lower left corner of the control board are on then this must be corrected. Locate the

accessory, which is activated, and repair or replace. Disconnecting this device will allow the operator to work,
without the disconnected accessory function.

STEP 5

Disconnect the green J2 connector. Once disconnected, press the “Open/Close Command” button. If gate operates go
to step 4 b above.

STEP 6

Verify that DS1 switch 8 is off.

STEP 7

Call the factory for more information if the above steps have not worked.

Emergency release knob cannot be pulled:

STEP 1

If the emergency release knob cannot be pulled first verify that it is not already pulled, by trying to roll the gate. If gate
will not move try to pull the emergency release knob while agitating the gate (shake gate in direction of travel).

STEP 2

Emergency release knob that is difficult to pull represents something is in a bind. Check the gate wheels and guide
rollers. Verify the chain is on all the rollers and not twisted or over tight.

NOTE:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY ANY SCREWS ON THE DRIVE SHAFT.

I can hear gate operator running but my gate is not moving:

STEP 1

The most likely cause is the emergency manual release knob is pulled out. To correct open the emergency release
cover and push knob in, it may be necessary to roll gate while pushing the knob in. The knob must be pushed in all the
way and it may be necessary to remove the cover to verify. When fully pushed in the space between the plastic safety
disk and the shaft collar should be about ¼”.

STEP 2

Other causes could be the gate chain is disconnected, the drive chain on the gear motor is disconnected or one of the
sprockets is freewheeling. Identify any of these by removing the cover and inspecting and correct as necessary.

Gate operates slowly when opening or closing, may stop before cycle is complete:

NOTE:

When the gate is running slow the reason is low battery voltage, two things need to be considered. Battery condition
needs to be checked a load test is needed (replace or charge) and determine what caused the battery to become
discharged.

STEP 1

Determine which situation your operator falls into below:

Solar charged, ensure that you have a deep cycle battery installed and if accessories are connected (keypads, loop
detectors, any device powered by the battery) verify that the current draw needed to power them does not exceed the
