Electric gate problem.

[mickys86]

Hi guys. Dopey builder today managed to rip the box of the wall for the electric gate today.
There's two cables pulled out which I'm not sure where they go and wondered if someone could help? A four core goes to the sensor, red and black are connected and the blue and yellow look like they've been pulled out. (there was a few cores of cables in terminal 35)
I've included some pics in this post ad would appreciate if someone can help, if not they'll have to call someone out.
Cheers

Tricky one without some form of data sheet. You could check the web .

I suspect that it is the older type of wireless/auto gate controller, circa 1990 - 2000

Do you have a make and model number ?

 

[mickys86]

I got an installation manual but tbh I can't make head nor tail of it. I bought it home to get a better look.

The model is a Rigel 5
There is a fault code in the panel which says "phot" in the manual it says the phot input activation needs looking at.

Couple of pics from the manual

Just a quick look, it appears that you may have lost a sensor connection between 35 and 36. I can't be sure though. Need to have a closer look a bit later..

Thank you very much.

Looking at the manual on the BFT website terminals 35 & 36 are photocell control to stop operation of the gates if someone or something is in close proximity. Normally used to stop the gate closing if someone or something is stuck between the gates. If terminals 35 & 36 are shorted the gates should operate but doing this is removing a safety device and should only be used for checking operation and eliminating and identifying the fault

It definitely Makes sense. I have two cables pulled out From the sensor. Akbar has said that it looks like 35-36 and now you have discovered this.
Thanks for your help guys
