Troubleshooting
If your gate operator arm will not move.
Be sure that all safety devices are connected. Safety device terminals work on nor-
mally closed connections so if terminals 3, 4, and 5 are not connected to negative
terminals the gate opener will not function. Secondary safety devices
are always
recommended by Gate Crafters and FAAC,
if you choose to only use the in-
herent obstruction sensing featured in the Estate Swing control board you must
connect terminals 3, 4, 5 to a negative terminal (12, 13, 14, or 15).
Be sure your arm is mounted correctly,
IF the gate movement pin in the arm is not
3 turns back from the physical end position of the arm in the closed position,
the opener may stick and not move.
Be sure the power LED is on steady. See page 27 for power LED interpretations.
The battery supplied should be charged for 12 hours before beginning the learning
process.
Be sure that the polarity of the arm wiring is correct. For standard Pull

Open Operation.
Check the fuse to be sure the fuse is not blown. It can be tested visually or with a
volt meter by checking for continuity between the two prongs of the fuse.
Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and tries to move too
quickly, sometimes the jerk of the gate at the beginning may set off the obstruction
sensing. Move the speed setting down to 1.
Try removing the opener arm from the gate mounting bracket. Run the cycle with
the arm off the gate. If the opener moves, check your gate for levelness, greased
hinges, and weight/length ratios.
Note: moving your gate from the end by hand
may seem very easy. A true test would be moving the gate from the gate mounting
bracket just as the operator would.
If case won’t close or the programming lights will not turn on.
Be sure that the control board and the control board cover is fully lined up and
snapped into place. During shipping some shifting may occur resulting in a board
and cover that are not lined up., thus the activation buttons (P1, P2) will not line
up.
