I have a older stanley 470 swing gate opener that opens but will not close

SOURCE: when should I replace battery for Elite Robo-slide gate opener.

Sounds like its time to replace now!

SOURCE: Strike open light flashes and gate opens

The loose connection may be true, but i would first start out checking the track and rollers for any obstructions that could stop the gate from closing, if the gate can be closed smoothly by hand than check the ERD potentiometer on the circuit board. also peel of the blue circle sticker for the alarm potentiometer and adjust as necessary

first check you battery and make sure it is putting out 12v dc then if you have a solar power system check the red and black wire comming from the panel and make sure it is putting out 24volts. if you panel is not putting out the volts it caused your battery to die so replace your panel and battery and all should work fine. if your using a trickel charger do the same check power its putting out and make sure its correct and also check the 120v ac comming in to the charger. Follow the steps it deffinatly sounds like a power issue.

SOURCE: 1. I have an elite slide gate opener it will open

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.

Hi, Thanks for posting your Question.

When it comes to automatic usage of equipment or gadget that work with remotes sensors..It always malfunctions when water enters into it's electrical area..

Issues like this are have to be checked by an experienced Elite SL3000 sliding gate repairer..Water has enter either the coil area or the magnet that control the opening and closing function of the Gate..

It's not from the remote. That is if the battery of the remote still functions properly..

It needs to be serviced to clean the water inside and after cleaning it up, it will be ok..

Please make sure someone who has the experience should handle it. Thanks

Good luck ..
