  • Quarterly: Check all mounting hardware for tightness. Inspect electrical cables for wear or damage. Test the safety features, such as obstacle detection (if applicable).
  • Annually: Have the system professionally inspected to ensure all components are functioning correctly and safely.
  • Remote Control Batteries: The AAM0049 remote control is powered by two CR2016 lithium batteries. Replace them when the remote's range decreases or it stops responding.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SCS Sentinel gate motorization system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Gate not responding to remote: Check remote control batteries. Ensure the remote is within range and properly programmed. Verify the main power supply to the motorization unit.
  • Gate stops unexpectedly: Check for physical obstructions in the gate's path. Inspect the rack and gear for debris or damage.
  • Unusual noises during operation: This may indicate wear on mechanical parts or a need for lubrication. Disengage the motor and manually check the gate's movement for friction points.
