I think you are using the wrong countdown card.  
Instead of “zandloper is gestopt” you want to use “zandloper leeg”

In your xpcase the flow is triggered when the gate is closed (zandloper is stopped by “ingang 1 is geopend”)

There are some examples on the forum where you could use one trigger flowcards to check if a certain logic is true for a given time.
