Gates not closing (BFT Thalia btl2 and Bft Desme) - Joel23M - 15-11-2020
Hi,
I have an issue where my gates opened but will not close now.
I'm using a BFT Thalia btl2 board with Bft Desme photocells. The LCD on the board has power and is displaying PhcL. I have taken apart the photocells and cleaned them but still no luck. We had super heavy rain last night so I wonder if water got in and damaged them. I have ordered a pair to replace them. They're wired by Cat6 cable.
Is this the best thing to try? Replacing the photocells.
Thank you

Hi mate.
I bought the photocells on Amazon for like £40. Replaced them and it worked perfectly. I think the cills on them are a bit rubbish and water can get in them. I replaced them a few days after this post and they've worked perfectly since.
