Polaris Automatic Gate Operators come equipped
with a Power Save feature. The default mode is for all
LED's to be operational as described. If it is desired
to conserve power to maximize battery life
Recommended for the following steps can be taken.
Press and hold the PWR SAVE button for three
seconds. An audible beep will sound confirming the
change to the power save mode. This will disable
several LED's when not activated for five minutes. In
Power Save mode, the LED's will operate as
described upon an input. When the gate sits idle for
five minutes, the LED's will turn off to conserve
power.
When troubleshooting the installation it is
recommended to disable the Power Save feature. The
feature can be disabled by pressing and holding the
PWR SAVE button for three seconds. Two audible
beeps will sound confirming the change to normal
mode operation.
