It doesn’t happen when I’m opening the gates. So it’s not the motors. It only happens when the dogs are in a certain area. I’m guessing it’s either the photocells. Or the aerial. Can the bft aerial make a fuse trip if a dog were to climb on it. They have already ripped the aerial stub off it. I’m thinking water might have got it.
Has it got power going to it ?

The dogs can walk through the photocells hundreds of times a day and not go off. Only when they go in one particular corner. That’s were the aerial is and a photocell. Many thanks for your help

hi
it's not aerial
it something else ,check photocells .

THANKS. So if the photocells are faulty. As soon as I switch the 3am fused switch to make the rigel5 Panel live. that will make The fuse pop? We’ve had a lot of rain recently. Could be water ingress in the photocells.
hi
if you have water everywhere do not touch gate stay away from it !!!! switch off the power .
o

The power is off. The control box is dry. The motors are dry the 5amp fused switch is dry. The only thing I havnt checked is the photocells. What I wanted to know was- can water ingress in photocells. Cause the fused to blow as soon as I turn on the power with a new. Fuse. Thanks for your help. Greatly appreaciated.
