Hi Have you checked the voltage you have at the cells? This will effect the range if low. If that is not the case, I would swap them out for the pair that are working between the gate posts. If they work ok in that position, then you will know that it is a problem with the wiring. If they still don't work then you have a faulty set of photocells.

Just fitted a BFT system, Rigel 5 controller and cellula 130 photo sensors. The photo sensors between the gate posts work fine and reverse the gates on closing if interupted. the sensors inside the gate just will not communicate over 3 metres (supposed to work to 25). To prove it I connected the TX to a lead and walked it back from the RX and the red LED stays lit to about 3 metres (1 metre short of the mount) then cuts out - anyone got any ideas? the cable length to TX is only 2 metres from the Rigel 5 and the RX no more than 8.
