NOTE:
The two LED’s located below the X1, X2 actuator plug, when on, represent the closure of the limit
switch. If the left LED is on, then the gate should be in the open position. If the LED on the right is
on, then the gate should be in the closed position. If DS1 switch 9 (operating direction reverse) is on
then this is reversed. If the LED for the open position is not on when the gate is fully opened, then
the auto close will not work. The limit switches need to be adjusted.
STEP 5 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button inspect
the LED indicators located on the control board (lower left corner) and note which LED’s are on.
If any LED’s are on disconnect the green J2 connector from the control board. Press the
“Open/Close Command “ push button to close the gate. Press the button again to open the gate
fully and verify the automatic close is working.
STEP 6 If gate automatically closes correctly, then the accessory connected to the J2 connector that is
activated (LED is on) needs to be repaired.
5.
Gate begins to open or close but stops and reverses after a couple of seconds.
STEP 1 Remove control box cover and locate the Patriot control board. Locate the sensitivity adjustment
(see page 12) potentiometer located on the control board. The white center is adjustable and needs to
be turned in a clockwise direction.
STEP 2 Normally a setting of 5 will operate most gates; if your gate requires a setting above 8 there is a good
chance that your gate has a problem, which needs to be corrected. Possible causes are incorrect
hinges, gate touching the ground; gate not level or the actuator arm connected to the gate is bent.
Identify and correct problem.
6.
Single Gate opens or closes correctly, then immediately reverses direction:
STEP 1 This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment. The limit switch adjustments
are located on the bottom of the actuator motor housing, behind the removable rubber plug. Locate
the limit switch adjustment screws and determine which one needs to be adjusted (see page 18).
Operate the gate. Once it reaches the desired open or close position, stop the gate in that position
using the transmitter or “Open/Close Command” push button located on the Patriot control board.
STEP 2 Locate the “LED Indicator” push button located on the left side of the Patriot control board. Also
locate the open and close LED indicators below the actuator plug on the Patriot control board. The
left LED represents the open position and the right LED represents the close position. (See note
below)
STEP 3 With the gate in the desired open or close position, press and hold the “LED Indicator.” Observe
which of the LED lights come on. If your gate is in the desired open position, then the LED on the
left should be on. If not adjust the retract limit switch (see page 18) until the LED comes on. If
gate was in the close position adjust the extend limit switch until the close LED comes on.
NOTE:
If DS1 switch 9 is turned on, then the open and close LED’s are reversed. Open LED represents
the closed position and the close LED represents the open position.
STEP 4 Once adjusted correctly the open LED should be on when the gate is opened and the close LED
should be on when the gate is closed.
STEP 5 If the LED’s will not come on contact the factory.
7.
Dual Gate opens or closes correctly then immediately reverses direction:
STEP 1 This is most likely caused by an incorrect limit switch adjustment. First determine which gate is in
need of adjustment.
STEP 2 Locate the DS1 switches on the Patriot control board. Switch 3 and 4 should be turned on for a
dual gate, turn off switch 4. This will disable one gate.
