USAutomatic Patriot Swing Gate Opener Will Not Operate and Battery Status is Good
When the gate does not operate with a remote or other command but the battery status is good, the issue is likely with the entrapment protection devices or their configuration on the control board.
| Diagnostic Test | Result | Meaning | Solution/Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Press and hold S5 button | Gate operates | A monitored entrapment device is not working or improperly set up | Identify and verify all entrapment devices are operating correctly |
Dipswitch Configuration
If no entrapment devices are installed, ensure all related dipswitches are turned OFF:
| Device Type | Dipswitch Location | Required Setting |
|---|---|---|
| No contact edges installed | DS1 switch 6 and DS2 switch 4 | OFF |
| No photo eyes installed | DS1 switch 7 and switch 8 | OFF |
Important Requirement
You must have at least one of the two types of entrapment devices (contact edges or photo eyes) for the gate to operate normally. If devices are installed, you must have the correct dipswitches turned ON for the connected device.
