11. Transmitter will not operate the gate
STEP 1 Verify the battery in the transmitter is good. Also verify that the dipswitches inside the transmitter and receiver are set
to match each other. Remove the receiver cover by squeezing the sides and the switches are located inside. Remove
the transmitter cover and locate the switches.
STEP 2 Remove the gate operator cover and locate the Patriot control board. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and the
“Push Button Input” LED. Push the “LED indicator” push button and hold, then press the transmitter button and
observe the “Push Button LED”. The led should come on while the transmitter button is depressed.
STEP 3 If the “Push Button LED” did not come on then make sure that the green J2 connector on the control board is securely
connected. Remove the receiver cover by squeezing the sides and the switches are located inside.
STEP 4 If the “Push Button Input” LED in step 1 did come on and the gate did not operate then locate the “Open/Close
Command” button located at the bottom center of the Patriot control board. Press the “Open/Close Command” button
and note gate operation.
STEP 5 If the gate did not operate in step 3 verify that the 15-amp fuse on the Patriot control board adjacent to the actuator
plug being used is not blown, (a fuse can be blown and look good) replacing is the best way to verify fuse is good.
STEP 6 If the gate did not operate in step 3 and the fuse was good in step 4 then most likely a safety accessory connected to the
green J2 connector is active. Verify this by depressing the “LED Indicator” push button and observe the leds located in
the lower left corner of the Patriot control board. If a LED is on identify the accessory connected to the corresponding
J2 connector pin and correct the problem.
STEP 7 Other causes are possible, both the open and close limit LED’s are on at the same time, if so adjust limit switches.
Control board could be defective; battery could be too weak to operate the gate. Please call the factory for help
identifying the cause.
12. Photo-eye, safety loop or other safety accessory will not reverse the gate when closing or hold the gate open
STEP 1 The first thing to check is the accessory wiring. The accessory needs power (+12vdc) wired to battery positive terminal
or to J2 pin 1 on the Patriot control board. It also needs ground, which can be wired to the battery or to J2 pin 2 or 7 on
the Patriot control board. The other two connections are the “N/O and Common ground”. The common ground can be
connected to the battery or to J2 pin 2 or 7 on the Patriot control board. The N/O connection must be connected
to J2 pin 11 “Safety Loop / Reversing Edge Input”. If the accessory is connected as described above it should reverse a
closing gate or hold a gate open if the accessory is activated.
STEP 2 Now to determine if the accessory is working correctly and that the Patriot control board is receiving the signal locate
the “Led Indicator” push button and the “Safety Loop / Reversing Edge Input” LED (located in the lower left corner of
the Patriot control board).
STEP 3 Press and hold the “LED Indicator” push button and observe the “Safety Loop / Reversing Edge Input” LED. Activate
the accessory in question (if photo-eye break the beam) if the accessory is working properly the LED light should
come on when the device is activated. If the device does not turn on the LED then check wiring, J2 connector
connection at the Patriot control board. If wiring is good then the accessory is not operating correctly. Repair
accessory and retest.
STEP 4 If the “Safety Loop / Reversing Edge Input” led comes on and the gate does not reverse direction when closing, call
the factory for other possible causes and return information.
13. Pressing the “RESET” button only, causes the gate to operate
STEP 1 This problem is probably due to a bad receiver. First locate the “LED Indicator” push button on the Patriot control
board. Then locate the “Push Button Input” LED located in the lower left corner of the Patriot control board.
STEP 2 Press the “Led Indicator” button and observe the “Push Button Input” LED. If the light comes on then the receiver
relay is stuck closed and needs to be repaired or replaced.
STEP 3 If the “Push Button Input” LED does not come on, call the factory for further troubleshooting and return information.
14 Gate opens using transmitter, but will not close using transmitter (low current receiver only)
STEP 1 The problem is most likely the programming of the low current receiver (P2 relay is programmed to latch mode)
STEP 2 On the Patriot control board locate press and hold the “LED Indicator” pushbutton.
STEP 3 Look in the lower left corner of the Patriot control board and note any LED’s that are on.
STEP 4 If the “OPEN INPUT” is on then the receiver (P2) is programmed to latch mode.
