Rewire desired accessory device to Single Button Input. Operator will resume normal operation once battery voltage reaches 24 V. See Bipart Delay section for adjustment instructions. See Programming Limits section for instructions. See Installation section for instructions. See Timer-to-Close section for instructions. Check DIAG code, clear obstruction. Use remote control/SBC to resume normal operation. Clear all Open/Safety devices from obstruction. Check for proper installation of accessory. Turn applicable switches on. Check proper installation of wires. Replace accessory device. 43

OPERATOR IS DEAD
No LED lights are on.
OPERATOR DOES NOT RUN
Operator does not respond
to any commands.
MOTOR DOES NOT RUN
Relays “click” when radio
or SBC signal is given, but
the operator does not
move.
GATE STOPS AND
REVERSES
(Force Reversal)
RPM REVERSAL
GATE STOPS
Gate starts to run, then
stops and does not reverse.
GATE OPENS BUT DOES
NOT CLOSE
Audible beeps (3 times)
when command is given.
GATE’S DO NOT OPEN/
CLOSE IN SYNC
GATE DOES NOT
AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE
Auto Close Timer not closing
gate.
ACCESSORY DEVICE NOT
WORKING PROPERLY
1) No voltage to board.
Battery must be >23 V, AC or needs to be connected.
2) Bad control board.
Replace control board.
1) Low/disconnected battery.
Voltage must be >23 V at battery connection.
2) Remote not programmed.
See Programming Remote instructions.
3) STOP connection loose/disconnected.
Check STOP connections.
