Observe the external equipments such as intercom or touch keypad and make sure there is a proper power supply to the devices then check for the sound or beep correspondent to the touch on keypad buttons. This gives you an indication whether it is a power issue or there is a problem with the peripheral equipment.
To access your gate activation, check the transmitter. The light on the transmitter illustrate that it is working. If not then check the battery it might be flat.
