Testing Control Board inputs: To test an input, connect the input terminal to the
COMMON terminal on the Control Board and verify that its LED turns on momentarily.
Normally, the Close limit switch and Maglock LEDs are on if the gate is fully closed, and
the Open limit switch is on if the gate is fully open. The Manual Stop LED is always on.
Low input AC voltage: The voltage across connector J3 pins 1 (red wire) and 3 (white
wire) on the Control Board must measure 100 VAC to 130 VAC.
CAUTION HIGH VOLTAGE. Measure with care.
