How do I troubleshoot the Reno Model B detector if the gate remains stuck open?
This article discusses the troubleshooting steps for if your gate remains open after a car has passed through the detector when using an Reno Model B.
The video explains how to troubleshoot a gate that remains open using the Reno B4 loop detector.
- Access the DIP switches: Remove the four cover screws to access the internal settings.
- Adjust sensitivity: DIP switches 1–3 control sensitivity levels from 0 to 7, with 3 as the factory setting.
- Enable sensitivity boost: Switch 5 can be turned on to help detect high-profile vehicles and reduce detection dropouts.
- Troubleshooting approach: If the gate remains open, check whether the detector is continuously registering a vehicle and verify the sensitivity and loop operation.
Correct sensitivity settings and sensitivity boost can help resolve vehicle-detection issues that keep a gate open. Use the lowest sensitivity that reliably detects the required vehicles
