Please refer to the “How to Program the Remote to the Opener” section of the user manual of the gate opener.
Please exchange the wiring of the two arms on the control board. If the faulty arm works well and the other good arm starts to have problems, the control board is defective.
On the contrary, if the faulty arm still has a problem, the problem is from the motor or the limit switch.
In this case, please connect the black & red wire of the arm directly to the 24V fully-charged batteries or your AC/DC power supply. Then switch the polarity of the wires. If the arm could extend and retract, the motor is good and the limit switch is defective. Please contact our tech support team (support@topens.com) for warranty service.
Because your gate is solid, the strong wind will increase a lot resistance during gate moving, and the gate may think it hits an obstruction. It may stop or reverse. Kindly note that it does not mean that the gate opener is defective. The gate opener can still function properly when it is less windy.
You could increase the stall force and decrease the soft stop period, then try again. A heavy duty gate opener may perform better in your case.
- Please check the Push-to-Open and Pull-to-Open logic of the gate.
- Please remove all accessories (such as the ET24 electric lock and TC102 photocell) and try again.
- Please erase all remotes and re-program them to the circuit board.
- Otherwise the circuit board is defective.
- A8 has an adapter, and you need to purchase additional batteries to power the system.
- Coming with UPS01 uninterrupted power supply, the A8131 gate opener can be powered by AC 100-240V electricity directly. It is also allowed to use extra 24V 12Ah Automotive / Marine type battery (Battery is NOT included) and 24V 20W solar panels (NOT included) as back-up or main power source.
- For A8, if you want to use AC power to avoid using batteries, you could purchase a DPS180-U or UPS01 AC/DC power supply. In case you would like to try our solar kit in the future, or want to use the batteries as a backup, UPS01 the second generation AC/DC power supply can fulfill your needs.
Release the clutch with the release key and put the actuator in the middle position. And then turn back the clutch and try again.
If in this case, the opener could move, and then slide the outer limit switch inward slightly and fix it.
If the opener still does not work, the problem might be from the clutch or the motor. You need to contact tech support (support@topens.com).
There are several conditions if you want to connect a magnetic lock to your system:
- You need to use DPS180-U or UPS01 power supply to power the system, don't use solar and batteries.
- Make sure you use a 24V magnetic lock.
- You also need to purchase a 24V relay, with NO, NC contacts and contact capacity greater than 3A.
A 24V battery (or 2*12V batteries can be connected in series for 24V) can be used. Marine or Automotive type battery is compatible. And the battery should be waterproof type, or be placed in waterproof circumstance.
Please take the black front mount (ear shaped) off from the gate bracket. Use the release key to engage the clutch and manually rotate clockwise and push the Front Mount inwards. When the arm is pushed to the middle position (half retracted), press the remote to see if the arm moves properly.
If the arm moves properly in this case, then use a screwdriver to loosen the screw of outer limit switch, slide the limit switch a little inward, and then tighten the screw.
You could unplug the terminal from the board and use a screwdriver to loosen the screw. Then plug the wire into the terminal and then tighten the screw. Put back the terminal into the control board. You could refer to the installation video on our website for this information.
