Setting Up Your Control Board

After installing the actuator arm/s and completing the wiring, have the gate/s in the open position.
If your unit is an ELECTRIC kit with a TRANSFORMER, turn your transformer on now. The control board will make a “BEEP” sound and then run through a start- up sequence which you will see on the digital display labelled MENU.
Wait 10 seconds for the control board to finalise this step.

With the control board now knowing your gates are in the open position, you will need to press the DEC and INC buttons at the same time for 5 seconds or until one gate starts to close, now release INC and DEC buttons (you must press and hold in both buttons at the same time for this to work, pressing the buttons individually first will not allow the control board to run its ‘AUTO TRAVEL’ function).
The gate connected to Motor 1 will close first, the “MENU” will display CL (Close), after Motor 1 has closed the gate, the “MENU” willdisplay SP (Stop). Motor 2 will now close with the “MENU” displaying CL (Close), after Motor 2 has closed the gate, the “MENU” will display SP (Stop).  1 second after Motor 2 has closed the gate it will activate again with the “MENU displaying OP (Open), after Motor 2 has opened the gate, the “MENU” will display SP (Stop). Motor 1 will now open the gate with the “MENU” displaying OP (Open), once the gate is open the “MENU” will display SP (Stop). Wait 10 seconds before operating the gate opener.
Travel function completed. Press the remote trigger button on your remote for 2 seconds or until the LED light starts to flicker and then release the button.
