Mindy A60 and closing issue - alarmeng - 28-02-2017
Hi Guys sorry for the first post being this ,I've got a Mindy A60 that has a timer opening at 6.30 am (Gates open) and should close at 21.30.
what's happening is the gates open as they should but when the timer drops out (I can see and have metered it the timer falls away and goes open circuit, the gates don't shut. But to make matters worse not all the time,confused .... yeah me too. If I momentarily short out pin 27 (close) it closes.
I was going to put another timer relay in say at 21.40 just to pulse it closed, but that defeats the object.
All safety features are clear so I'm a little confused.
I also have a ground loop hitting the same open input but that's clear and just to be sure I've put two diodes just in case of feed back.
Thanks again for reading and any help would be great.
Many thanks
Gary

bridge all nc contact with com temporarily and press handset to close the gate

Hi Gary,
Couple of questions for you.
Have you got automatic closure set on the panel?
What position are your dip switches in currently?
