Hello
we have 2 x FROG-A 230V underground motors and ZA3 control panel on a double leaf gate which have been working fine for about 6 years.
Gates are now stuck open and I noticed that when a button on the fob is pressed one gate moves about an inch to try to close and then opens and stays open.
I opened the control panel and the red led and green flashing led are both lit when powered.
When I press the fob I can hear a click (relay?) and then the green led goes out but comes back on after about 12 seconds.
(a) could it be due to the age of the capacitors > should I just replace them
(b) would a fault with the safety beam or a broken wire cause this I ask as I would usually hear a click when walking through the beam but it doesnt appear to be making the noise now > can i turn off the safety beam using the dip switches or override to test
I would guess that it is unlikely to be an issue with the beam transmitter / receiver but how could i check this ?
thanks in advance for any suggestions
