Hi Tom,
Thanks for your advice regarding connecting non bluebus photocell to robus 600 gate opener. I connected power supply terminals as you said and connected switch contacts to STOP contacts on control panel. When the photocell is activated in OPEN or CLOSE the gate stops dead. When I connect photocell switch wires across OPEN terminals the gate works as I want it to as far as if gate is closing and photocell is operated gate opens and after time delay the gate closes. This is great but I have three dogs in the garden and if they walk up to the gate and operate the photocell the gate opens. Is there any way that I can make the photocell only operate if the gate is moving so if the gate is closed it does not respond to photocell commands.
Many thanks for any help you can offer.
I am a qualified electrician but not had much experience with automated gates. If only option is to install a bluebus photocell is this something that you could supply. I have single photocell and reflector at the moment so if I was to replace it I would like one of the battery units to save having to run wires to far side of sliding gate.
Thank You Les.
