Gate Runs a Short Distance and Stops

Gate Runs a Short Distance and Stops

Possible causes: 

Battery low condition

Multiple collision condition

Collision sensing too sensitive

Faulty motor assembly

Faulty controller

Faulty or disconnected DOSS


Possible solutions: 

Measure battery voltage under static and load conditions as per the procedure described later. Replace if necessary

Ensure that duty cycle is not exceeded (10 operations per day)

Clean any corrosive build-up around the battery terminals

Check for something physically obstructing the movement of the gate or set the sensitivity from High to Medium or Low

nsure that the DOSS is plugged in on the controller and encoder side.

Bring in the motor for testing at your closest CENTURION branch as the motor assembly, controller or DOSS might be faulty
