Possible Causes

Loose beam wiring at terminals, Damaged cable from impact or rodents, Poor beam alignment due to loose brackets, Sunlight interference on receiver

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not bypass beams; fix the underlying issue.

Steps to stabilise safety beams:

  • 1. Tighten terminals: Re‑terminate the beam wires at both the beams and the Gliderol control board.
  • 2. Secure brackets: Tighten beam mounting screws so they cannot move when bumped.
  • 3. Shield from sun: If direct sunlight hits the receiver, fit a small shade or reposition slightly.
