Mine sometimes doesn't want to open up until I play with motor belt, what are you think is wrong with it ?

Are you able to make this gate smart ?

i have the apollo 835 836 control board and it gone bad, can i replace it with the patriot swing gate board ?

Hi, thanks for the video, I have an intermittent problem where sometimes when the gate opens it doesn't stop and goes off the track, I already replaced both nuts and switches just to be safe, but it keeps happening, this is a community with 120 hones, sometimes it works for 3 or 4 days without any issues

Where is the learn button on the automatic?

Hello How to setup for the first time

The interesting part is missing- how to get the jack under the gate.

I just want to correct something you said in your video. The monitored safety actually came out in 2016 not 2018. The omron photo eyes work great, but man are they ugly!

What the MON- FAUL? Why will it not allow to close on overhead all o matic with the Omarion Fotoeye aligned

To unlock and lock the cover which way do you turn the key? Thanks.

So you only show how to jack the gate up .... Wow

My limit nuts on the retract and extend shaft of the actuator keep moving on their own to where it open to much and closes to soon any idea why this keeps happening?

Put a large metal- stop bracket on the backend of the track, photo-eyes should be installed on its own bracket, if people run Enforcers connected to the exterior of the operator it tends to shake and cause misalignment!!

Is this the best opener to get for a dual swing gate? Anyone used American Armor openers?

How did you run that operator with no safeties?

Can you make a video to take out the shaft so you can remove the nut limit? I can't seem to get mines out.

bro same gate at my work but it woundnt close or open

Hey was wondering how do you reprogram new gate openers and to just be that one gate opener because for some reason I order some on Amazon and when they arrived I opened the box and I press the button and it opened my gate so that’s a safety issue I don’t want anyone with that same controller coming to my house and just opening my gate

I just got shocked by the blue rubber circles, how was this possible

Viking monitor app is so cool

Is there a manual for troubleshooting this thing? Our gate just stopped working and its basically stuck open. When we power it on, some of the circuit board lights come on, but when I press the "close" button, I can hear it make a sound for a second and then it stops and doesn't do anything. Then, after about 20 seconds the alarm goes off and it is loud! I have to turn it off or press the "reset" button to stop it. also, the keypad is beeping and has the yellow light on instead of green, so I'm not sure if the issue is the motor, the circuit board or the keypad and I can't find any troubleshooting manual anywhere online. Any help would be appreciated.

This is the gate at my apartment and it's so infuriating to be stuck on my motorcycle and I cannot leave. I'm a small girl so to have anything leaned over is terrifying. Do these support remotes or anything? I'm just at wits end, my complex isn't doing anything to help. I've reported this.

How do you lubricate the screw in that the gate motor

The jack is a great idea. Is there another video where the wheels get replaced?

How do I reprogram the code to the gate

Is there any way to make the gate operate better in wet conditions?

Excellent video. I appreciate the information given.

Have same issue you resolved, on sl90dc... Photo eye goes to sleep mode and system gived mon-close light and gate refuse to move . How to solve it.. Any more detailed pic/wiring diagram.? Thanks in advance

My eagle 1 operator was working fine for 5 years. Suddenly I’m having adjust my limit nylon cams every 2 days. My gate keeps getting out of adjustment. What could the problem be?

Which specific serial number or model number Patriot Board are you installing to replace the NiceApollo 1050? Thanks in advance 😊

Hello there how is it possible to program a genie remote to this particular gate opener if there is no learn button on the machine or motor of the gate opener or motherboard

I sell that Patriot board all day long for $385 at Gate Openers Direct in Houston, but no one ever properly grounds the ground lug in the bottom left corner of the 1050 board. The lightning protection can't work if you don't put a GROUNDING ROD in the ground next to the opener and bond it to that ground lug. Its a good board that is rarely installed properly, 20 yrs newer tech than the patriot and has lots more features. If there is any downside to the 1050 board, it is too technical for most installers.

Working on wiring a omron e3k-r10k4-jr-1 to a swing robo r900 elite will it work

Thanks for sharing. My Nice 1050 has been replaced twice. Time to change.

Great video Marty! But does BLUE wore go to ATG (as in video) or to Re-open, per your voice instructions??

Thanks for sharing, useful info

So helpful sir! God bless!

I echo Del's question. Just saying what maintenance you did isn't nearly as helpful as saying HOW you did the maintenance. How did you "grease the motor" and with what? How did you "check the solar panel"? Etc.

Bravo ! C'est magnifique !

I have been fighting a new one of these for two days. They are saying it needs two eyes. I have two but it's still not working. Very frustrating.

Found one of these in my parents front yard, in the middle of releasing its spores. Cat was freaked by it and I thought something was on fire. We don't live in the counties that Wikipedia shows them in. We live at the border between Comanche and Hamilton counties. Wished I had filmed it.

Not helpful

Hi Marty: Regarding an ALL-O-MATIC SL100 (looks identical to the one on your video here): Operator and gate were professionally installed and working previously for months, if not years. I had to work on the gate (mechanical repairs only, weld broken pickets, replace guide rollers, etc.) While I was getting ready to do so, the open gate suddenly started on it's own to close, with no input from anyone, no one anywhere near the controller, driveway path, or gate path. I didn't want to risk injury while working, so I shut off the power switch on the main board, and unplugged the controller/programming module from the 120 volt socket. After disconnecting the chain adjusters from the fully opened position gate at both ends, I was able to freely slide the gate along the entire length of the V-track with ease. After completing my work, I remounted the chain adjusters as previously. At no time was the chain and sprocket/idler pulleys or limit switches disturbed from their original position. After re--attaching and adjusting to the original positions (marked with paint before removal) now the gate does not respond to any control/programming module input as before. I downloaded the factory installation manual, but it provides o info regarding troubleshooting, LED codes, identifying, clearing, resetting, etc., and a call to the factory reveals that this is intentional... they do not want anyone working on their openers except their trained service personnel. I can build computers and race engines... do you know of any way to obtain the necessary information to enable repairs? Thanks.

How did you lubricate the motor?

Yes, that is the one I have. Cost almost $5,000; worked only 8 mos. I was told it was " my fault" I needed security and it will cost me $100,000 to get the security I want!! Also, the chain on my Viking is rusty. Rusted after 1 year. It's a 2017; only worked 8 mos.

Waisted time watching this spit

They whistle the pretty woman song too.

Hey Marty, I bought the K2 will this wiring be the same? Do i really have to have 2 UL's installed for it to work? When I turn the K2 on and try to open and close the gate by pushing the open or close buttons it does not do anything. I'm also trying to wire liftmaster remotes to it.

I have one of the older SL 100 gate openers. It has been working fine for many years. In the last week for the first time, the gate stopped opening. If I manually pull the gate open, the CLOSING operation works perfectly, meaning the remote, the board, the motor, etc. Of course, I have taken off the cover and looked everything over, cleaned everything, etc. The remote operations, the open and close limit switches and the board all seem to be working just fine. But for the OPEN GATE function, the motor just doesn't seem to be getting any power any more. It doesn't even try to open. So the board just keeps flashing open until I manually open it to the point that the CLOSE limit switch thinks the gate motor opened the gate correctly. From there, I can use the remote again and presto, the gate CLOSES perfectly and the electronics all work as usual. So I know the motor is working to close the gate. I know basically that everything is functioning normally except that the motor does not engage to OPEN or even act like it is getting the power to open. Have you run across this before and is there a relay or something that might have burned out? I looked over a diagram and it looks like there is a solenoid involved for the "OPEN" function which I don't see for the "CLOSE" function. So is it possible that might be related somehow? Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Wow
