Possible Causes
Dirty or misaligned CAME DIR/DELTA photocells, Sunlight interference on receiver, Loose photocell bracket, Wiring fault causing intermittent beam loss
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not disable safety devices permanently. Work with power off when adjusting wiring.
Steps:
- Clean lenses: Gently clean the photocell lenses with a soft cloth to remove dust, cobwebs, or moisture.
- Check alignment: Observe the receiver LED; adjust the photocell position until the LED indicates a stable beam.
- Shield from sun: If direct sunlight hits the receiver, fit a small shade or reposition slightly to reduce glare.
- Inspect wiring: Tighten terminals and check for damaged cable between photocells and the control board.
After adjustment, test several open/close cycles to confirm consistent operation.
