Why does my Automatic Systems speed gate report an obstruction with nothing in the lane?

A false obstruction message is usually caused by a dirty, misaligned or failing sensor, or by something reflective near the lane such as a polished panel or a stuck piece of tape. Dust on sensor windows is the most frequent cause. We clean and realign the sensors, check the cabling to them and test the lane with and without a person. If a sensor has failed it needs replacing.
