How to Troubleshoot a CP80 D5 or D3 Gate Motor When the Gate Does Not Run and the Relay does NOT Energise

When you activate the gate motor using a remote or any trigger device,  but the gate does not move, consider the following possible causes and solutions:

Possible Causes:

1. Still in programming mode
2. Safety LED's are active
3. Latching input
4. Battery condition
   

Possible Solutions (On-Site Checks):

1. Ensure you are out of programming mode. The SET light must be OFF.
2. Verify that the LCK (lockout) input is not activated. The green LCK light should be ON.
3. Ensure the IRB (IR beams) input is activated (the gate will not close if this input is off). The green IRB light should be ON. 
4. Make sure the latching input on TRG or FRX is not active. Both TRG and FRX lights must be OFF for the gate to operate.
5. Inspect the battery condition using Procedure A: Low battery voltage condition by clicking on the following link: https://support.centsys.co.za/portal/en/kb/articles/how-to-troubleshoot-a-low-battery-voltage-condition-status-light-flashes-3-times-on-the-cp80-d3-or-d5
