MHouse SL1-10 partial close

[NAT]

Hi Nat,

It sounds as though it could be something mechanical on the gate causing it to see an obstruction, when the fault occurs what does the ECSbus LED flash? When you manually release the gate and push it from open to closed does any friction occur?

Hi SamA,

Thank you for your response. Apologies for only just seeing it.

I did as you suggested and the gate manually opens and closes freely past the problem point.
I even gave it a firm push as it was closing automatically and it fought against me from the same point where it gradually slows down before coming to a stop. It's the same sequence it does once it approaches the fully closed position.

Regarding ECSbus flashing: when issuing open or close comand there's 4 long flashes. Once it reaches the fully closed or fully open point and stops there's 2 long flashes. When the gate stops at the problem location when closing there's no long flashes, the constant quick flashing just keeps going uninterupted.

Any ideas what this means?

Hi,

2 long flashes means the photocell is being triggered at a certain point and 4 flashes mean that the stop input is being triggered. Try taking out all of your accessories such as anything wired into stop, ecsbus, open, close, pp, sbs. Do an Ecsbus search by pressing and holding P2 button for 3 seconds the release. Wait until LED 2 goes off and then try the gate. If the problem clears, reintroduce the accessories one by one by plugging one accessory in and doing the ECSbus search as mentioned above until you find what is causing the issue.

Hi SamA,

Thanks for the tip. I followed your suggestions and even with all accesories removed and then re-learning the ecsbus it still comes to a gradual stop at about 1/3 closed. Same as before it doesn't do it when learning the gate limits.

Do you have any other ideas I could try?
