Product Details
The US Automatic 500016 is a replacement logic control board for select Patriot gate operator systems. It is most often used when the original Patriot board is no longer responding correctly, has damaged input terminals, will not accept commands, has relay failure, or has been damaged by moisture, surge, insects, or age.
This board is commonly associated with the older Patriot control board family, including former part numbers 500001, 500002, and 500017 when the operator and wiring layout match. It is used on compatible Patriot swing and Patriot RSL slide systems, but the exact operator generation is important because US Automatic has released different Patriot boards over time.
The 500016 board is UL325 2016 compliant and includes monitored entrapment photo-eye input support. That is a major fitment point: older operators may have different wiring habits, and newer monitored safety requirements should not be bypassed. Always match the existing board number, operator model, motor wiring, and manual before treating this board as the correct replacement.

Technician Note
On Patriot operators, the board part number and operator generation matter. Do not replace a Ranger, Ranger HD, Sentry, or newer Patriot RSL board by board color alone. Check the label near the top of the board, the motor cable type, and the operator manual.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the original board part number is 500001, 500002, 500017, or a supported 500016 application
- Confirm the operator is a US Automatic Patriot swing or compatible Patriot RSL slide operator
- Check whether the system is pre-2016 and requires the included retrofit jumper
- Verify monitored photo eyes or other required safety devices are installed and functional
- Inspect for surge, water, insect, or wiring damage before installing the new board
Professional Advisory
Control board replacement involves low-voltage control wiring, battery power, charger wiring, and safety-device inputs. If the gate moves unpredictably, lacks monitored entrapment devices, or has damaged wiring, have the system checked by a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions and Answers
What does the US Automatic 500016 board replace?
The 500016 board is commonly used as a replacement for former Patriot board references 500001, 500002, and 500017 when the operator model, wiring layout, and manual confirm compatibility.
Can this board be used on a Patriot RSL slide gate opener?
It may be used on select Patriot RSL applications, but Patriot RSL boards vary by motor cable and production generation. Verify the original board number and operator manual before ordering.
Is the 500016 board the same as a Ranger HD board?
No. Ranger HD systems use the 500027 control board family. The 500016 is for supported Patriot applications and should not be treated as a Ranger HD replacement.
Does this board require monitored safety devices?
The board supports UL325 monitored entrapment protection. Required photo eyes, edges, or monitored devices must be installed according to the operator instructions and should not be bypassed.
Why should I check the old board number before ordering?
US Automatic used different boards across Patriot generations. Matching the board number helps avoid wrong relay layout, wrong safety input behavior, or an incorrect board for the motor wiring.
