Came gates stuck open.
#3
(07-05-2018, 07:37 AM)Ring8180 Wrote: Hi I wondered if anyone can help?
I have a set of came swing gates which have been working perfectly until today.
They open fine on the fob or internal switch, but will not close automatically. When you press the fob to close them they seem to move 6 inches to close but then 're open. I have disabled the photo cell and have even changed the wiring around on the arm motors to see if they will close (which they do), but then obviously won't 're open, the pcb is a za3. 
I appreciate any help 
Thanks in advance Martin.

Hi Martin,

I seem to have the same problem, any chance you can share what was the issue?

Just to add to the detail, in my case i eliminated all sensors and even took the link to the leaf out. I also reversed the brown and black wires and i could see that the motor turns with every press of the key but when it supposed to turn the other direction it doesn't, in fact it rotates in the same direction as before, however this could be the residual charge of the capacitor, not sure if the last bit is valid, can't say i know enough about the electrical arrangement. 
Tested the capacitors and perfectly fine: 15.8uF on a 16uF rated capacitor. 


Regards.
