Fixes for AU and not closing:
 If the first is true, power has been applied to the board with the gate(s) open the board is in
a safety mode. In order to exit this, manually disconnect the piston from the gate bracket
and twist the piston so the gate is approximately half way open, then reconnect the piston
to the gate bracket. Disconnect power and reconnect, it will show AU still however a signal
from a device should activate the gate.
 If the above does not fix the issue remove the button block (second to last terminal block
on right side of bottom of the board). This will prevent the need to unwire the accessories.
Move the gate to the half way open position. Disconnect and reconnect the power. Acti-
vate the gate using the PUSH1 button (center button on the board). The gate should now
be operational and it is confirmed the accessory in PUSH2 is malfunctioning. Troubleshoot
the accessory in PUSH2.
 The second dip switch is for single or dual. If the dip switch is up, it is set for dual. If you have
a single gate opener and the dip switch is set for dual it will never start to close because the
second leaf starts first. Since it cannot start nothing will happen. Move the dip switch to
down.
Gate stops before reaching the full open or full closed position (NOTE: This is if the gate stops,
not if the gate stops and reverses for 3 feet)
The gate is designed to stop for one of two reasons: it has reached the limit switch and the mo-
tor is triggered to stop receiving power or the P1 parameter, run time is reached and the board
will stop putting out power to the motor.
Possibilities for cause of stopping short:
 Run time is too short. The P1 parameter is the amount of time that the board will put power
to the motor for. The purpose of having a run time is to allow the board to have a slow
down point so it can move at two different speeds. On a new installation sometimes this
was just set low. On an existing installation that was working fine, as temperatures change,
the battery voltage changes or the motor ages the gate may move slower and cause a
previously sufficient run time to no longer be enough.
 Limit switch is not in the correct location. For a gate installation in which the piston is extend-
ed in the closed position (pull to open) the limit switch for the closed position is at the end of
the arm and the limit switch for the open position is in by the motor. For a gate installation in
which the piston is retracted in the closed position (push to open) the limit switch for the
closed position is in by the motor and the limit switch for the open position is at the end of
the arm.
 Gate or post bracket has shifted.
