Door Not Working on Battery Backup Power
For battery backup breaker issues:
- The issue may be related to the battery backup breaker being popped. To reset the breaker, press in on the white breaker button located in the bottom-middle of the power board.
For drained or dead batteries:
- Check the batteries' voltage first. If it's low (less than 10V DC per battery), allow them to charge for 24 hours with AC power ON.
- If the batteries do not charge after this period, they should be replaced.
For door balance issues:
- A door not functioning on battery power may result from the door being improperly balanced. Select 'BALANCE CHECK-UP' from the STARTUP MENU and adjust the door's balance as required.
For main power interference:
- The door might not operate on battery power because the main power is still active. Disconnect the unit from the main power supply by unplugging/disconnecting it. This ensures the system attempts to switch to its built-in battery backup power.
To verify battery backup functionality:
- Check the screen with a flashlight. If text is visible despite the screen being dim, then the operator is in battery backup mode.
- On the PULSE 300, battery backup mode will keep all peripherals powered and will automatically open/close via a momentary press of OPEN/CLOSE while the batteries are still sufficiently charged.
- Once the batteries get too low, to conserve power, the unit will turn off most devices and require constant pressure of OPEN/CLOSE to operate the door.
