IMPORTANT Never weld parts to the gate or posts when the operator circuit board is powered. Doing so may damage the board beyond repair. STEP 5 GATE BRACKET INSTALLATION Activate push button on the side of the control box and extend the actuator until it stops (PULL TO OPEN only, leave actuator retracted for PUSH TO OPEN). -
Page 10: 1550Etl/1650Etl Actuator Option
1550ETL / 1650ETL Actuator Option The Apollo 1550ETL and 1650ETL systems – which use the 835/836 boards – come standard with the 816E / 816EX actuators. These actuators have a gray cable restraint and are considered our “smart” or “intelligent” actuator. These actuators utilize all of the features of the 835/836 board. -

Page 12: Programming Instructions
The 835/836 circuit boards incorporate a safety feature that will put the operator into a hard shut- down mode if the circuit board detects a current sense two consecutive times during a cycle. This hard shutdown condition can only be reset by shorting the FIREBOX or UL connectors on the left side of the circuit board to ground. -

Page 19: Radio Receiver Options
APOLLO Do not confuse the receiver code switches with the red program switches on the gate control board. Never set all code switches to the same position. Transmitters must match code switches for proper operation. If power is taken directly from battery or connected as shown below, receiver should be configured for 12VDC... -
Page 20: Troubleshooting Guide
TROUBLESHOOTING OPERATOR & ACCESSORIES Some troubleshooting will require a hand held multimeter. An inexpensive digital multimeter may be purchased at Radio Shack or a local electric supply company. Refer to the owners manual for instructions. SYMPTOM Gate opens OK but after closing, opens back up. 1. - Page 21 SYMPTOM Gate will open using push button on side of box, but not with transmitter. 1. Code switches do not match. Check that the code switches in the transmitter and the receiver match. 2. Low or dead battery in transmitter. Replace battery. 3.
- Page 22 SYMPTOM Gate will not open or close. Control board in HARD SHUT DOWN mode. Short the GND and UL connections on the lower left set of connectors and test. Disconnect the solar panel or charger and measure the battery voltage. Battery should read 12 or more volts and never drop below 11 volts when gate is operating.
