Hi,

I've an electric gate problem, it's a bit weird!

The gate won't close after I open them.
So checked out the photocells, one set aren't clicking

Took off the cover of the photocell and it starts working, clicking when I pass infront of it and a led also comes on

When I put the cover back on it won't work again, so I swapped the cover from the working set and it still wont work!

Is there a threshold limit on the photocells? are they expecting a certain amount of light which they're not getting?

Maybe an alignment issue? Don't think it is as working when cover off

All help greatly appreciated
