Troubleshooting Errors
If the gate is misbehaving check these indicator lights, they will fire if there is a mechanical fault.
Power Cycle the gate
- Unlock the gate and remove the side panel.
- Flip the breaker to turn the gate off.
- Flip the breaker again to turn the gate back on.
Program the Gate
These instructions are here to help but we recommend using a licensed electrician and consulting with the gate manufacturer before attempting any changes.
- Press and hold the joystick until the screen shows “P100”.
- Move the joystick up until the screen shows “P200”.
- Press the joystick.
- Move the joystick up until the screen shows “P210”.
- Press the joystick again.
- Move the joystick up or down, depending on the number on the screen, until it shows “172”.
- Press the joystick again to save the change.
- The screen will now show “211”. Press the joystick to modify that field.
- Move the joystick up or down until it shows “162”.
- Again press the joystick to save the change.
- Repeat the same steps for “212” until “184” shows on the screen and save the change.
- Repeat the same steps for “213”, but the number you will save here will vary depending on the gate you are programming. Gate one will have “4”, gate two “5”, gate three “6”, and so on. Save the change once you set the correct number.
Gate’s arm stuck in open position after power outage
These gates come with a “Automatic Opening” module that might get activated after a power outage or power surge. This module will open the gate and it will remain in the open position. You will know if the module has been activated because the LED screen will display “P.OFF”.
To get the gate’s arm down and working again normally, the power source will have to be changed on the settings.
-
Press and hold the little joystick circled in the image above for a couple of seconds until the LED screen shows “P100”.
-
Press the joystick again.
-
Move the joystick up until the screen shows “P103”. Then press the joystick.
-
Move the joystick down or up until the number “0” appears. Then press the joystick one last time to save the change.
If this happens to your gate, the Automatic Opening module needs to be replaced in order for it to open again in another power surge or power outage. Please contact Customer Support if you need a replacement.
