My sl 3000 ul gate wont open unless I help it out after i press button on board I have to turn motor shaft and push on gate and then it will catch and opne/close. Is it my motor or my worm gear?

Hi Mary, do you have more than one remote for the gate? Your remote needs to be paired with the gate receiver. Normally you need to push a certain button on the control panel to enable learning mode then you press the remote button you want to use. You will have to follow this learning process for your device. Please keep in mind that just any remote will not work with your gate, it needs to be on the same frequency and use the same modulation mode.
Hope this helps.

not sure if the manual can help

hi,
You have to oppen the motor control pannel. There will be circuit board inside it. In the circuit board you can see a Push button switch. It is the learn switch.

After powering ON press and release immediatly this learn switch. With in 30 seconds press and hold the button you wish to use until two click heard from the control board.

If you can sent me your email id through FixYa then i will sent the picture which shows the learn switch.
OK.

Hi please find above your user manual, all you need to know should be in there?

That light flashing means a limit switch issue is present. Check the switch and all the wiring to that switch.

I have a brand new Ramset 300 electric gate opener. My problem is in the early morning when the loop opens the gate it will not close unless deactivated manually. It does not happen later in the day with my GMC truck but happens early in the am with my husbands Toyota Prius. Please help. What can be the problem?

the auto close has been set or the motor has been set up in reverse and it is auto reverseing,make sure the gate is opening up all the way, if it is not just help it along and see what happens.

if you take the covor off the unit and look at the motor their is a redbotton. press that back in and tru again

Most likely your chain is not going to be your problem. When you pull the cover off of your SL 3000 there will be a little rectangle box on top. There is either one or 2 screws holding the lid down...loosen the screws and take the lid off. Inside there will be a long screw drive with 2 plastic nuts with teeth.At either end of the screw drive you will find a switch that one of the nuts should be resting on. (these are your limit switches that tell the motor when to stop) Run the gate open and closed...when you run it closed see if it is hitting one of the limit switches when it stops. (turn off the power) If so, hold back the plate keeping the nut in place and move the nut further away from the limit switch.(don't move it too far so that you don't slam the gate too hard into the catch post and hurt the post/gate/motor) Turn the power back on and run it again. Repete this untill the gate is stopping where you would like it too. e-mail me with any further questions [email protected]

The photo eye sensor is defective of is out of its correct posistion!
Hope this was of help!
