THE GATE OPERATOR OFTEN STOPS CLOSING DURING RAIN, IT’S USUALLY BECAUSE THE RAIN IS INTERFERING WITH THE PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR (PHOTOCELL SENSOR), WHICH IS DESIGNED TO DETECT OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE GATE’S PATH, CAUSING THE GATE TO STOP CLOSING IF THE SENSOR LASER BEAM IS DISRUPTED BY WATER DROPLETS OR HEAVY RAIN.

A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS TO CLEAN THE SENSOR LENSES WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH USING A GLASS ANTI-FOGGING SOLUTION TO REMOVE DIRT AND DEBRIS. THIS WILL APPLY A LAYER OF ANTI-FOGGING ON THE SENSOR GLASS AND PROTECT IT FROM FOGGING UP FOR SOME TIME. ALSO, ENSURE THE SENSORS ARE ALIGNED PROPERLY AND FACING EACH OTHER IF THE SENSORS ARE OLD OR DAMAGED, CONSIDER REPLACING THEM.
