STEP 4 If the gate did not operate in step 3, verify 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 5 If the gate did not operate in step 3 and the fuse was good in step 4, 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 LED’s located in the lower left corner of the Patriot control board. If an
LED is on, identify the accessory connected to the corresponding J2 connector pin and correct the
problem.
STEP 6 Other possibilities are: both the open and close limit LED’s are on at the same time, adjust limit
switches. Control board is defective or battery could be too weak to operate the gate. Please call
the factory for help identifying the cause.

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 (+12 vdc) 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 (Normally Open) 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 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 light, check the wiring on the J2 connector and check J2 connector connection
to the Patriot control board. If wiring is good, then the accessory is not operating correctly. Repair.
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.
11.
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 LED 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.
12.
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.
