Installed gate less than a month ago with solar. Weather has been hot and sunny. Last two days in the morning the gate won't open like no power. We unhook gate and leave open then hook up in the afternoon. After hooking it back up it works fine?? None of battery lights are indicating trouble or low battery? Is it discharging overnight without sun?
@Ghostcontrols201514 күн бұрын
@lindacandreva9594 it appears you may have low batteries or you may need a larger battery with more storage to keep up with the gate usage. Please try the Battery load test below: 1. Disconnect your charging source (your solar or AC wires) from the circuit board. 2. Measure battery voltage. a. If you have two batteries, check them individually. b. If the voltage(s) is above 12 Vdc, proceed with the load test. c. If the voltage(s) is below 12 Vdc, charge the batteries externally before proceeding. 3. The load test will only be conducted on one battery at a time. Measure the voltage prior to operation. Activate the unit while continuing to monitor the voltage. The voltage should drop less than .5 volt during the cycle. 4. Repeat for 4 more half cycles (open or close) pausing for approximately 10 seconds in between activations. The voltage should drop less than .5 volt during these movements. 5. If the voltage drops are greater than .5 a volt the battery/batteries should be replaced. Charging Circuit Test: Please note, in order to properly test the circuit, we need to start with battery(s) that are not currently low. (below 12Vdc). You may need to charge them externally prior to moving forward with this test. 1. Measure battery voltage If you have two batteries, check them individually. If the voltage(s) is above 12 Vdc, proceed with testing. If the voltage(s) is below 12 Vdc, charge the battery(s) externally before proceeding. 2. Measure the voltage on the battery with the charge source (The solar or AC wires) removed with the system on but not moving. 3. Restore charging source, the battery voltage should raise above the previous reading. This might require activating the unit to run once. If the charging source is solar, you must be in direct sunlight (panel must not be shaded by trees or the sun obstructed by clouds). 4. If the battery voltage reading is climbing (even a few .10 of a volt when the charging source is restored) the charging circuit is functional. If there is no change, check the transformer output or solar panel output. IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDE THAT WILL ALSO AFFECT BATTERY: * Are you using a Smart System? * Type of battery are you using ..Are you using a deep cycle marine battery? * How many times a day do you open and close your gate? If you have any questions, please call our product support team at 850-558-5520 Mon-Fri 8 am - 6:45 pm EST or Saturday from 8 am -5 pm EST when you can be at the gate (with a transmitter, voltmeter and screwdriver) to troubleshoot with us. We want to help you resolve your current issue(s) so you are up and running. Best regards, Ghost Controls

What is the little round black piece that sits between where the wires come in to the box. My gate was not working at all, then I slightly twisted that and it started working again.
@Ghostcontrols20153 ай бұрын
@adriangcnaz that is a strain relief. The gate opener wires or accessory wires go through the strain reliefs on the bottom of the control box to prevent water and other elements from getting in. You could have had a loose wire or your wire was too tight in the strain relief. If this happens again, I suggest opening the control panel and making sure all your wires are tightly connected into the terminals. If you would like more information please email [email protected]

@Ghostcontrols20153 ай бұрын
There could be other possibilities causing the need to readjust your open and /or closed position but Temperature variations and other environmental factors that naturally occur may necessitate the need to readjust your limit. Wood expansion and contraction due to moisture level and the impact that it has on metal can cause it to expand and contract, this may necessitate an adjustment and/or hinge lubrication. Also, all hardware must be secure and not moving.

I have a Liftmaster LA 400 and I just replaced the batteries for the third time since I’ve had it. this time I continue to have a problem with this gate opener and I was hoping you might be able to put your finger on what the problem is. Today, when I went out to open the gate, I heard three beeps, and the gate would not move. I hit the reset button and still nothing. It was only when I pulled out the 20 amp fuse and put it back in that the gate would operate. But even then, when I pressed it a second time, I heard the three beeps and it wouldn’t operate until I pulled the fuse again. I replaced the fuse but it still does it. I put a multimeter on the transformer and it goes up to 24 and then bounces around but 24 seems to be the full trickle charge. Any tips would be really appreciated

@crownmoldingbyspectaculart941 while this is the Ghost Controls youtube site and ghost controls control board we would recommend reaching out to LiftMaster but in the meantime maybe try checking your battery and making sure it is fully charged and load test your battery to make sure it is a good battery.

Let me try this way instead of replying to the posts addressed to me. I re-wired all the connections with a crimping tool and ferrules for each wire in the main controller and the solar charge controller and properly sized eyelets for the connections to the battery. The original installation battery wiring was stripped about 2-3 inches and wrapped around the screw type lugs on the battery and tightened with a nut, no washers. I used the smallest ferrules that would fit the wires into the charge controller and main control unit after being stripped, twisted and trimmed to the correct length. The ferrule kit I used came from Amazon called 'VANOW Crimping Tool Set'. I purchased it for another project but it has since been used for other stuff.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Below I will be talking about how the software works in the circuit board. We recommend using a perimeter fence to ensure that your pet or pets are secured. Gate operators are for vehicular traffic only. The Ghost Controls circuit board does have an inherent soft start soft stop feature and built-in internal safeties. When the gate stop hits the adjacent post the gate operator would see it as an obstruction. An obstruction is when the unit's inherent safety (SafeForce) features are triggered. This occurs when the unit is slowed down too much or has to work too hard to reach its intended stopping point. This feature is built in and the gate would reverse and open back up partially if too much pressure is being exerted. Please click on the link for more info on obstructions and partially opening gates. ghostcontrols.com/pages/gate-reopens-partially-after-closing Please reach back if you have any other questions or would like a tech to give you a call.

We recoommed doing bi-yearly maintenance on your gate opener. Using a silicone spray, you can maintain/clean the silver aluminum push-pull tube (with the operator arm extended and the system turned off) , spray a clean cloth with the silicone and wipe the extended push-pull of the operator arm. Cleaning this part of the arm helps remove any dirt and debris that has accumulated over time and can help reduce premature wear and noise on the internal parts of the operator arm.

The installation and set up were very straight forward up until the point of setting close limits for my dual, pull to open system. Spent the past three hours attempting to get both actuators to stop at the actual SET location I programed them. This video is not helpful, I don't need to see the gate opening, I need to see what you're doing with the control panel and the transmitter.Two neighbors are ready to pull the trigger on a system but absolutely not recommending this until it works as advertised. Why on earth do you supply nuts and bolts that are not the same sizes for mounting brackets???? Bolt head is 17mm and the nut is 5/8?? C'MON MAN! You need to hire a third party consultant on your installation manuals and simplify your technology. All fuses are in tact, I have power, there are no obstructions, something is wrong with the actuator or the control panel.

My gate is doing this exact thing. All LED's are flashing and it will "Chirp" non-stop..... I've charged both batteries and they are in fact charged when tested with a meter. No fuses are blown. Neither remote or the keypad will operate the gate. It just chirps and everything flashes. I've taken the 20 amp fuse out and everything goes dead, put it back in hoping to re-set the system but it only starts chirping again. Prior to the start of the chirping it had begun not closing all the way. It is a new system we just installed around June 2023, It started not closing all the way a couple weeks ago. I re-set the close limit a few times. Now the chirping. I did mess up, after charging the batteries with an external charger, I went up after dark to to reinstall. The first one no problem but the 2nd - the wires accidentally came in contact with the wrong terminal and caused a couple sparks. The fuses do not appear to be blown and the control panel knows there is power because when I plug a charged battery in the chirping starts.
