Gate Moves to End Stop, but Does not Complete Setup

Gate Moves to End Stop, but Does not Complete Setup

Possible causes: 

The origin magnet is missing or incorrectly mounted

Faulty origin sensor
Poor connection between battery and controller
The battery voltage is low or the battery is faulty or disconnected

 

Possible solutions: 

Check that the magnet is still mounted on the gate and that the gap between the magnet and the sensor is minimal. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2

Ensure that there is an audible ‘click’ whenever the magnet passes the origin sensor

Ensure that the arrow on the magnet is facing the operator – there should be a repelling action when the magnet is brought near the sensor

Ensure that the battery terminals are properly connected on both the controller and battery side

Measure the battery voltage – it should be no lower than 11V DC when placed under load. 

Check for corrosive build-up around the battery terminals; if there is corrosion replace both the battery and battery terminals.

Replace the battery

Measure the onboard charger’s output voltage. It should be about 14V DC with the battery disconnected
