Hello, thanks for the input. the transformer is actually very close to the RE1, 15 feet or so. Everyones help is greatly appreciated. I think we are going to scrutinize the non-twisted wire installed by the gate contractor, the majority of you feel that is the culprit and I agree. I hope I can help you one day.
