🔧 Basic Checks

• Power – Make sure the system has power (breaker, outlet, battery backup).

• Remote/keypad – Check batteries and reprogram if needed.

• Manual release – Ensure the gate isn’t in manual mode.

⚙️ Gate Movement Issues

• Gate won’t open/close

  • Check for obstructions (rocks, debris, bent track).

  • Inspect limit switches (may be misadjusted).

• Gate stops halfway

  • Could be resistance → check hinges, rollers, or track.

  • Motor might be overheating.

🔌 Electrical / Control Issues

• No response at all

  • Check control board fuse.

  • Look for loose or damaged wiring.

• Intermittent operation

  • Possible bad connections or low battery.

🔦 Safety Sensors

• Clean photo eyes (dust, spider webs).

• Make sure they’re aligned—misalignment stops closing.

🔊 Strange Noises

• Grinding = worn gears or motor issue

• Clicking = relay working but motor not engaging
