Gates tripped

[benbrooks]

Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Yes that is correct you should have constant voltage at both of the photocells as one will be the receiver and one be the transmitter if either of these are not powered, the system will not function.

Usually when the gates trip the RCD there is a short between live and earth, this could potentially be a motor issue. I have had the issue before where a motor is causing the same type of fault, I would recommend testing the motor individually in the board first and seeing if you can get the fault to reoccur with one of the motors.

Many thanks

Ben
