BFT Rigel 5

[graham]

Hi
Can anyone help with the problem I have with my automatic gates?

I have had the gates many years but now when I press the remote it only clicks in the the Rigel box, neither gate opens or closes.

Could it be one of the capacitors if so which one?

Thanks
Upon opening the box the board is a Rigel 5 version 1.7, if this makes any difference?

I would check the safety circuits and link out the photocells as this is the most likely to cause both gates to fail. If a capacitor had failed then just one motor would have failed.

Many thanks for the reply Mark, believe it or not this morning they just started working properly again.

If it happens again I will of course check what you have said, in between time I will keep my fingers crossed it was just a hiccup.

Thanks again
