Elite gate won't open

The latching delay is an important safety feature on an Elite gate opener, and it is not recommended to defeat it. The purpose of the delay is to ensure that the gate is fully closed and in the correct position before the magnet engages to latch the gate. Disabling the delay could cause the gate to not close properly, which could be a safety hazard and may also damage the gate and the gate opener.
If the magnet is not grabbing the gate on the first impact, there could be several reasons for this. One possible cause is that the magnet is not properly positioned, which could cause it to miss the gate on the first impact. In this case, adjusting the magnet's position may help.
Another possible cause is that the gate is not aligned properly, which could prevent the magnet from making contact with the gate on the first impact. In this case, adjusting the gate's alignment may help.
It is recommended to refer to the owner's manual for your Elite gate opener to learn more about the proper position and alignment of the magnet and the gate.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the opener mechanism on your Elite SL3000 fence gate. The fact that the gate opens but does not close, and that the amps rise when trying to close, suggest that there may be a problem with the motor or gear assembly. Additionally, the fact that the gate closes when you push on it a little suggests that there might be a problem with the alignment of the gate or with the gate's track.
Possible causes for this issue include a faulty opener motor, a problem with the gear assembly, or a problem with the alignment of the gate.
Here are some steps you can try to fix the problem:

1. Check the alignment of the gate: Make sure that the gate is properly aligned with the gate post and that the hinges are not bent.
2. Check the gate's track: Make sure that the gate's track is clear of any debris and that the rollers are not worn out.
3. Check the opener motor: Make sure that the opener motor is functioning properly and that the gear assembly is not stripped.
4. Check the battery: Make sure the battery that is powering the opener is charged and in good condition.
5. Check the settings: Make sure that the gate opener settings are correct and that the gate is set to close automatically.

If you are not comfortable with these steps or the problem persists, it's best to contact Elite customer service or a fence/gate professional for further assistance.

It is not normal for the exit and safety loop modules to power down when using the keypad on an Elite SL300UI. This may be a sign of a malfunction or issue with the system

Disconnect the power to it for 5 minutes to Reset it. Then press the Reset button. If that doesn't work call for professional service

Have you checked the fuses? They are small and can be difficult to see because of the thin wires. Check those first, especially the motor fuse on the lower left corner of the board.

Does you system use a wireless remote or keypad, or to open/close.

try checkin the ground wire .......

The memory could have been somehow corrupted. I would suggest that you call in an experienced person to reset and reprogram the open/close positions.
Hope this helps :)

Sounds like its time to replace now!

the elite does not have that function, your are going to need to look for a time clock that holds open your gate...... the outside phone system or a programmable time clock that has been added to your gate...... oh this is an old post sorry. :)
