When I enter 1 2 5 1 on the keypad the 
gate will not open. 
1 2 5 1 is the Master Code or programming access code. It will 
not open the gate unless the unit is in sleep mode. 
Program a gate access code into the unit using Sub-Mode 
1(listed in the programming instructions). 
No response from keypad.  Verify power input across the two white wires on the main 
harness. Check blue night light LED’s to see if they are on. 
Check for burn marks on the circuit board from a lighting 
surge. Contact American Access Systems, Inc. 
After I enter the latch code to hold the 
gate open it closes or cycles open and 
shut. 
An open override circuit must be enabled in the gate 
operator to prevent the timer circuit from overriding the 
keypad when it is in a latch mode. Contact Gate Operator 
manufacturer. 
When I enter a valid Access Code the 
gate does not open. 
Locate the two wires attached to the Brown and Orange wires 
on the main wire harness, then, touch them together. If the 
gate does not open, check wiring or the connection terminals 
on gate operator. If the gate opens, contact American 
Access Systems. 
I connected the two white power wires 
together to one power source wire and 
the other power source wire to the 
green wire but the keypad doesn’t 
work. 
The green wire is for EARTH GROUND only. Connect one white 
wire to one power source wire and the other white wire to the 
second power source wire. 
When I press 1 2 5 1 on the keypad 
nothing happens and I hear an endless 
set of error tones. 
Contact American Access Systems Inc. 
I want to reset my keypad but when I 
push the reset button nothing happens. 
Consult instructions regarding MASTER and UNIT reset for 
proper reset sequence.
