The transformer: Two things can cause failure. The first is shorting the leads during the installation, or letting the strands
touch at the terminal on the control board. The second is a static charge (generally associated with a lightning storm
or power outage); use of a surge protector will help protect the transformer against static charges.
Testing the battery: This is a 12 V, 7 Ah battery. The proper way to test the battery is to perform a load test. Place the
voltmeter on dc; put the red probe on the (+) positive terminal and place the black probe on (–) negative terminal.
Activate the unit and monitor the voltmeter. The voltage drop should not be more than 1.0 V.
Note: A loose battery terminal will cause the same symptoms that a bad battery will cause. Terminals should be
secure and corrosion free.
Remote control range: Varies with each installation. (see FCC disclaimer on page 25), the range of this device can vary
from 50 to 100 feet, depending upon weather, topography and outside interference.
Make sure that the receiver is located above metal fences.
Moving the receiver even a few inches can change the range of operation.
Move the receiver as far from the motor as possible to avoid the chance of electrical interference.
Check or change the battery in the transmitter.
