E-S 500 / 502 Classic Series Instruction Manual
5.2
The gate opener is not stopping on the limit switches:
• Remove all pre-installed jumpers from the limit switch terminals that have
limits going to them. The slave gate terminals come pre-jumped for single
operation, if you are using a dual system pay particular attention to this
detail and remove the jumpers when you put your limit switches in.
• The limits are wired incorrectly—be sure that you are following the correct
wiring diagram for pull to open or push to open.
• Check setback— if setback is incorrect it will limit how far the gate will
move per inch of stroke length.
One or both arms are not moving:
• Check to be sure wiring color pattern matches the installation (Example:
push to open wiring for a push to open installation) - If the limits or motor are
wiring opposite the installation the board will believe it is closed or open
when it is actually the opposite and the arms will never move.
• Check the limit wires are correctly in the terminal blocks. The terminal
blocks come with the terminal clamps closed - however when the terminal
clamps are closed there is a small space below them one could mistake as
place to insert a wire. If this is done then conductivity of the connection will
never be reached.
• Push or pull on the gate - if it moves the gears are disengaged and the
gate is in manual release mode.
General fix for user to understand operation.
Unlock the gate opener arm and move it to the half way position. Change
the run time to a low number (example: 2). Run the operator repeatedly.
The operator should run one direction for a 2 count and then the other for a
2 count. After you feel you have it following the run time correctly and
swinging level and easily, then start incrementally lengthening the run time.
Eventually the run time will allow the operator arm to reach both limit
switches and your setup is complete.
Single gate - Arm retracts and extends in a jerky manner:
The jumpers are not in place on LIMIT 2—all three need to be jumped
together.
Dual gate - Only one arm moves:
• If one arm reaches a limit before the other arm moves, that other arm will
never move. In other words, second arm must move before first hits limit.
• If the device you are using to activate the gate is wired into PUSH 2 that
only opens leaf 1.
• Check your dual settings - if the dip switch is changed to dual with the
power on the setting will not take effect, turn the power off and then back
on to have the dual dip switch take effect.
