Fixes for LU:
If the battery is reading low and the battery is new, the battery may just need to be charged.
New batteries as they sit on the shelf lose their charge and typically are sold discharged.
If the new battery will not charge it could have a dead cell, have a battery store or auto parts
store test for this.
If the new battery tests good at the store and the temperature is cold the battery may need to
be insulated. Cold batteries have a constricted output. There are multiple products for warm-
ing a battery. There is a battery wrap that is powered and has a thermostat that turns it on
when needed. Also standard insulation can be used to wrap the battery. As the battery charg-
es heat will be produced and this heat can be trapped by the insulation to warm the battery.
This method is a possible solution for solar, however, one big downside is at night when the solar
panel is not charging the battery, heat will not be created and the battery may get too cold
to put out power.
The motor will not move and the display reads PH
PH stands for Photo Cell. On an Estate Swing gate opener the safety terminal (Photo) is a Nor-
mally Closed connection. What this means is the gate opener needs the Photo terminal to be
connected to the ground terminal in order to operate.
Fixes for PH:
 If you are not using a safety device such as a photo eye or loop detector the Photo ter-
minal must be connected to the GND terminal using a short piece of wire.
 If you are using a safety device please check to make sure the NC terminal or wire is be-
ing used and not the NO wire or terminal.
Single gate, E-S 1000H: The motor will not move and the display reads OP or CL and then nu-
merically counts up
The display is showing the correct information as if the board was activated and the motor was
moving. There are only 3 possible causes in this case:
 Highest likelihood is the motor fuse is blown
 Second most likely is a motor wire not attached to the correct terminals (L1-1 and L1-2)
or the wire leading to the motor is damaged
 Third is the motor relay is burnt from a power surge.
Fixes for counting with no movement:
Open the third fuse box from the left (the fuse boxes are in the lower left corner, they are
hinged on the top and if a flat head screw driver is inserted in the slot on the bottom it will flip
open). If blown replace this fuse - it is a 8A 240V standard fuse. You can also take the center
fuse (this is for the secondary arm and move it to the third slot since this is a single gate opener
and you are not using the center fuse.
