BFT sliding gate intermittent operation - vozm100 - 22-09-2023
Hi all,
I wonder if someone can offer some advice, I have BFT motorised sliding gate and occasionally it will not slide across all the way to open and gets stuck. I have to press the remote again to slide it back etc
We do have a gravel drive and I have made sure the track is clear of debris, my gut feeling is that the sensors are causing the gate to stop and not debris on the track but i am not 100% sure.
I have wiped the black sensors on the gate posts but that didnt seem to have any effect.
I've only had the setup around a year and i am pretty sure its out of warranty.
thanks in advance
steve

Hi Steve,
Have you tried increasing the force of the motor?

Its a BFT Ultra by the way.

Turn out I got a "Safe Edge" sensor, and likley the batteries are low and causing issues with gate.
I've changed the batteries so will see if that reduces the intermittency of the issue!
