HELP with random gates!! - nigelboreham - 07-04-2012

HI Any help appreciated, i have a pair fo gates fitted with NICE motors and a wireless intercom/release system, all has been working fine, untill recently we noticed that the gates seem to open and close again quite randomly.

I cant think of any real changes, we run a wireless network at home and recently made some changes to this.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Nigel

I would check the photocells first of all and unwire any accesories from the system so it is back to a standard system without intercoms or keypad etc then get it working from remote controls only then add each item 1 step at a time then at the end you should have an idea as to what is causing the problems.
Most electric gate problems are due to saftey beams(photocells) either dirty or misaaligned so check this first.
