Possible Causes
The error indication signifies that the sensor is not receiving a valid pulse from the gate-mounted origin magnet, or the controller is not receiving a signal from the sensor:
• The distance is too great between the origin sensor and the magnet
• The magnet and sensor are mounted at different levels
• Incorrect orientation of magnet
• The gate is getting stuck at a certain point before the magnet has passed the sensor
• Faulty origin sensor
Solutions
• Check the information screen on your controller ( Press Up or Down Arrow to Access) – Scroll to magnet position; it should display the position of the magnet (left/right) when the magnet is passing the sensor
• Ensure that the magnet and sensor are mounted at the same level:
• 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
• Move the magnet closer to the origin sensor
• Replace the origin sensor
