BUTTON
a) No power supply
Verify primary line voltage from power source.
b) Operator control station is wired wrong
Use the OPEN, CLOSE and STOP LEDs to help check correct wiring.
Verify that the board is accepting commands by using the onboard
station. Green light next to stop button must be on.
c) Interlock switch is activated
Check Interlock(s). If more than one external interlock is present they
must be wired in series.
d) Dial still in programming or diagnostic
Set dial to desired wiring type.

e) Motor is malfunctioning
Verify proper voltage getting to the motor (Check motor name plate).
f)
Motor thermal overload tripped
Check for obstructions and verify the door moves freely. Cycle operator

to see if motor is hot. Allow motor to cool before attempting to move
door.
