How do I stop the alarm from sounding off. I inadvertently let the gate hit an Amazon box I was trying to bring in. The gate stopped and then an alarm started sounding off. I can't get in touch with my regular vendor, Gates Elegante.

WIRING CONNECTIONS 1. The DK unit is designed to operate between 11.5 volts minimum and 29 volts AC maximum. Using a multi-meter, measure the supply line voltage to make sure it falls within these tolerances. IMPORTANT: TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 2.
THE IDLE MODE When the desired connections are complete and power is supplied to the unit, the unit will be in the IDLE MODE. The IDLE MODE is the normal mode of operation, meaning the unit is ready to accept input from the keypad.
GOOD TONES and ERROR TONES The DK unit sounds an audible tone each time a key is pressed. The star ( ) key serves as the clear key and a double tone is sounded when the star ( ) key is pressed. The pound (#) key is the exit key and exits the programming mode any time it is pressed.
PROGRAMMING THE DK UNIT To access the program mode, enter the MASTER CODE. When the correct MASTER CODE is entered the yellow LED will light and a GOOD TONE will sound. You can now enter any of ten programming SUB MODES described below. SUB MODE NUMBER CODE DESCRIPTION Program an Access Code(s) (Relay A)
Program Relay “A” Access Codes - Sub-Mode 1 To program Relay “A” access codes, use the following steps: Enter 1 2 5 1 (or, if the factory MASTER CODE has been changed, enter the programmed MASTER CODE) Unit will sound a GOOD TONE Enter the numeral 1 Unit will sound a GOOD TONE Enter a four-digit code combination other than the MASTER CODE (for example enter 4 3 2 1)

You can then use Sub- Mode 3 to change the Master Code.
Set Latch Code -- Sub-Mode 5 DETAILS: The Latch Code toggles the state of the main relay (A) of the circuit board. The red LED will remain lit while the relay is in the latched position. The latch code is useful in applications where the gate is desired to hold open.
