My gates just stopped working this morning and now just occasionally come to life but never fully open or close.
I've checked the lights on the control unit, and the only problem is the STOP light, it isn't constantly on which it should be, it comes on every few seconds just for a few seconds then goes off for about 20/30 seconds and then on for 5 to 10 seconds if you are lucky. So the gates don't open because they think there is a obstacle.
I've checked the photocells - the RX flashing normally and stays on when I place my hand in front of it, the TX, flashes normally but does not stay on when I put my hand in front of it - but I think this is normal. Neither Photocell does not have a light on which would indicated a fault.
Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this problem?
Many thanks
Chris
