Gates not closing (BFT Thalia btl2 and Bft Desme)

[Joel23M]

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

Hiya,

Having the same issue as you experienced, did you find a solution in the end?

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.
