Patriot - My Gate Will Not Automatically Close

If DS1 switch 1 is on and switch 2 is off then the gate should automatically close from any position. If switch 2 is also on the gate will only automatically close if the “Retract Limit” LED (both “open limit” LED’s for dual gate) is on.
  1. Locate the “Open/Close Command “, push button. Press the button to verify that the gate will close. If gate closes correctly then proceed to the steps below.
  2. Verify that DS1 switch 1 is on. If not, turn it on and recheck gate operation. If gate remains open, continue with step 3.
  3. If your installation is a single gate, then only DS1 switch 3 or 4 can be on. If both are on the gate will not automatically close. Turn off the one that is not being used and recheck gate operation.
  4. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button observe the LED indicators located just below the Gate 1, Gate 2 (X1, X2) actuator plugs. Note which LED’s are on. Read note below.
The two LED’s located below the Gate 1, Gate 2 actuator plug, when on, represent the closure of the limit switch. If the left LED is on, then the gate should be in the retracted position. If the LED on the right is on, then the gate should be in the extended position. If the LED for the retract position is not on when the actuator is fully retracted, then the auto close will not work. The limit switches need to be adjusted.
  1. Locate the “LED Indicator” push button and depress and hold. While pushing the button inspect the LED indicators located on the control board (lower left corner) and note which LED’s are on. If any LED’s are on disconnect the green J2 connector from the control board. Press the “Open/Close Command “push button to close the gate. Press the button again to open the gate fully and verify the automatic close is working.
  2. If gate automatically closes correctly, then the accessory connected to the J2 connector that is activated (LED is on) needs to be repaired.
  3. Verify entrapment devices are connected and working properly.
