Questions and answers
Gate motor installed and remotes and app works. The gate closes fine, but then will only open about 6 inches. We moved the limit switch to try and adjust it and whatever we do it only opens about 6 inches. P.S. We did the "learning" part with the gate partially opened and it closes all the way but then will only open a tiny bit.
The TMT Automation Clifford 400 gate motor may only be opening 6 inches after installation due to one of the following reasons:
1. Limit Switch Settings – The Clifford 400 has two adjustable limit switches that control the stroke of the gate opener. If these are set incorrectly, they may be limiting the opening distance.
2. Obstruction or Resistance – Check if there is any physical obstruction or resistance preventing the gate from moving past 6 inches.
3. Power Supply Issues – Ensure the motor is receiving the correct 24V DC power supply and that there are no wiring issues.
4. Improper Installation of Rear Bracket – The adjustable rear bracket must be installed correctly to allow full movement of the gate.
5. Motor Load Capacity – Verify that the gate does not exceed the motor’s maximum specifications (20 ft length, 1000 lbs weight).
6. Manual Release Engaged – Ensure the manual release is not engaged, as this could limit the motor’s function.
Checking these factors should help identify and resolve the issue.
