11. Programming.
Before you begin programming, we recommend you save at least one remote control associated with input SEQ.
Manual tuning procedure to position the gate.
In order to perform the gate positioning manoeuvres before you begin any learning or checks, there is a function designed to move the motor, both opening and closing, in dead-man mode.
To enter this mode, press both push buttons P1 and P2 simultaneously, then LED DL.S lights up permanently to indicate dead-man tuning mode.
Release the buttons.
Push button P1 now controls opening while push button P2 controls closing, or vice-versa depending on the position of DSW1 Dip switch7.
Simply hold down one of the two push buttons to move the gate.
Exit dead-man mode by pressing both push buttons P1 and P2 simultaneously.
Selecting the direction of opening.
The control unit is equipped with dip switches to select the direction of gate opening.
If the gate opens towards the right, set DSW1 Dip switch 7 to OFF and switch off the power supply to the control unit and then back on again.

If the gate movement turns out to be reversed, check the DSW1 dip switch 7, do not change the wiring of either the limit switch or the electric motor.
12. Testing the automatic gate system.
It is necessary to test all the accessories connected to the control unit, especially the safety devices such as the sensitive edges and photocells. Remember that the photocells reverse the movement of the gate only during closing and the sensitive edges and/or internal photocells, if engaged during opening, reverse the movement of the gate for 1.5 seconds, while if engaged when closing they fully re-open the gate.
13. Trimmer for adjustments

| ON | Collective operating logic enabled | When opening the gate, it ignores any controls and reloads the pause time when on pause | ||
| DIP 5 | OFF Pre-flashing disabled - | |||
| ON | Pre-flashing enabled | The flashing lamp starts flashing 3 seconds before the start of each movement | ||
| DIP 6 | OFF | Flashing built into the flashing lamp. | It configures the output for flashing lamps with independent flashing. | |
| ON | Flashing controlled by the control unit. | It configures the output for flashing lamps without independent flashing. | ||
| DIP 7 | OFF | Gate opens towards the Right | Configures gate opening towards the right | |
| ON | Gate opens towards the Left | Configures gate opening towards the left | ||
| DIP 8 | OFF P.OUT 2 ^nd remote control channel | Input P.OUT works as 2^nd radio channel | ||
| ON | P.OUT Safety test (Photo-test) | Input P.OUT controls the operation of the safety devices | ||
| DSW2 | DIP 1 | OFF | Non-resistive edge SOP | SOP input configured to connect a non-resistive sensitive edge. |
| ON | 8K2 resistive edge SOP | SOP input configured to connect an 8K2 resistive sensitive edge. | ||
| DIP 2 | OFF Soft Start disabled | The gate begins moving at constant speed | ||
| ON Soft Start enabled | The gate begins moving at a progressive speed | |||
15. Troubleshooting.
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
| The automatic gate system does not work | No mains supply | Check the power line switch |
| Blown fuses | Replace the fuses with others of the same value | |
| Control and safety inputs not working | Check the diagnostics LEDs: DL1 P.IN, DL3 STOP, DL5 SCL, DL6 SOP must be on. | |
| Safety device test failed | Check the operation of the safety devices installed if 4 simultaneous flashes of the following occur: LED DL.S, indicator light and flashing lamp. | |
| Triac operating control test failed | Replace the control unit if 2 simultaneous flashes of the following occur: LED DL.S, indicator light and flashing lamp. | |
| (Only for motor models with Encoder) Motor not working properly | (Only for motor models with Encoder) Replace the motor if 3 simultaneous flashes of the following occur: DL.S LED, indicator light and flashing lamp. | |
| The limit switches remain activated. | Check the capacitor and/or wiring of the board/motor and/or the presence of any obstacles in deceleration zones if 6 simultaneous flashes of the following occur: DL.S LED, indicator light and flashing lamp. | |
| The limit switches are not activated. | Check the fixing of the limit switch cams and/or whether you have closed the release if 7 simultaneous flashes of the following occur: LED DL.S, indicator light and flashing lamp. | |
| You cannot save the remote controls | Batteries of the remote control discharged | Replace the batteries |
| Remote control not compatible with the first one saved | The first saved rolling-code remote control configures the control unit to save only rolling-code remote controls and not hard coded remote controls. | |
| Reached memory saturation | Delete at least one remote control or add an external receiver (maximum capacity 250 rolling-code remote control codes) | |
| The remote control does not work | Batteries of the remote control discharged | Replace the batteries |
| You cannot enter travel programming | Safety devices open | Check the diagnostics LEDs: DL1 P.IN, DL3 STOP, DL5 SCL, DL6 SOP must be on. |
| As soon as the gate starts it stops and reverses | Low acceleration on starting | Increase the TR2 TORQ trimmer |
| During slowdown, the gate stops and reverses | Slowdown speed too low | Increase the TR4 SL trimmer |
| The gate stops just before the limit switch trips | The limit switch does not work properly | Advance the limit switch cam |
