⚠️ WARNING: Important safety instructions. Follow all instructions carefully as improper installation may result in serious injury.
This product is only designed for the automation of a sliding gate for «residential» use.
The power supply installation must comply with current standards in the country where the product is installed (NF C 15-100 for France) and be carried out by qualified staff.
The mains supply must be protected against overload by a suitable trip switch and an earth leakage circuit breaker.
⚠️ CAUTION: The motorised system must be disconnected from its power source during cleaning, maintenance and parts replacement.
Installation requires qualified staff with mechanical and electrical skills.
Make sure that the temperature range indicated on the motorised device is suitable for the installation's location.
Only original parts should be used to replace or repair the motorised system.
- This appliance may be used by children at least 8 years old and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience or knowledge, if they are properly supervised or instructed in the safe use of the appliance, and if the risks involved have been understood. Children should not play with the appliance. The user's cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by unsupervised children.
- Do not allow children to play with the unit or its controls, including remote controls.
- Activation of the manual disconnection device may cause uncontrolled movement of the driven part due to mechanical failure or loss of balance.
- Before installing the motorised device, check that the driven part is in good mechanical condition, properly balanced and opens and closes correctly.
- The motorised device cannot be used with a driven part incorporating a side gate.
- Ensure that crushing caused by the opening movement of the driven part is avoided between the driven part and the surrounding fixed parts.
- After installation, ensure that the mechanism is properly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual disconnection devices function properly.
- Permanently attach the label for the manual disconnection device to the operating element of this device. [Label icon]
- Only use the remote control when you have a complete view of the gate.
- If in any doubt, do not operate the system, as it could be damaged.

Diagrams showing motor fixing steps:
- Step 1: Remove the upper cover and mechanical stoppers from the bottom of the motor.
- Step 2: Place the gate in the full closed position and fix the U-shaped fixing plate on the wall.
- Step 3: Install the motor on the U-shaped fixing plate with corresponding screws and nuts.
- Step 4: After positioning the front of the curved arm below the motor, position the minor arm on the end of the curved arm and the mounting bracket with corresponding screws and nuts.
- Step 5: Closed position adjustment. Once the full closed position is decided, fix the corresponding mechanical stopper.
- Step 6: Opened position adjustment. Adjust the gate to the full opened position and once the position is decided, fix with the corresponding mechanical stopper.

- OFF = single gate operation (connection on MOT 1)
Diagram of the electronic card showing DIP SWITCH 1 and LED indicators (LED1 RF, LED2 SYS, LED3 PHOTO, LED4 KEY).
D2 - Power Setting (Dip Switch 2 & 3)
Adjusts motor power (intensity).
DIP SWITCH OVER C1 | DIP SWITCH OVER C2 | CURRENT (AMP) |
---|---|---|
DIP switch 2 OFF | Dip switch 3 OFF | 6 A |
DIP switch 2 OFF | Dip switch 3 ON | 5 A |
DIP switch 2 ON | Dip switch 3 OFF | 4 A |
DIP switch 2 ON | Dip switch 3 ON | 3 A |
D3 - Gate Auto-Close Adjustment (Dip Switch 4)
DIP SWITCH 4:
- « ON »: Automatic closing after 30 seconds. Simultaneously pressing the two top remote keys (opened or closed gate) will turn OFF the automatic mode (blinker flashes 3 times). Repeat to turn ON (blinker flashes 3 times). Note: Photocells are required for automatic closing.
- « OFF »: Automatic closing OFF (can still be activated with the remote).
D4 - Photocell Adjustment (Dip Switch 5)
DIP SWITCH 5:
- ON: Photocells ON. When the photocells detect an obstacle while the gate is closing, the gate stops and opens during 2 seconds. If the gate auto-close is adjusted, and the photocells detect an obstacle when the gate is totally opened, then the closing time will be reset.
- OFF: Photocells OFF. No detection by the photocells.
D5 - Dephasing of the Leaves (Dip Switch 6)
DIP SWITCH 6:
- ON: Dephasing in closing / opening of 8 seconds.
- OFF: Dephasing in closing / opening of 3 seconds.
D6 - Deceleration Speed
The speed is 70% output of the full speed.
D7 - LED Indication
Diagram showing LED indicators on the electronic card.
- LED1 System Learning: LED1 will be on when remote controls are activated.
- LED2 System learning: LED2 blinks twice per second during normal operation and once per second during learning. Static LED2 means incorrect programming.
- LED3 Photocells: LED3 will be on when photocells are not aligned or when there's an obstacle in between.
- LED4 Start: LED4 will be on if the switch of the transmitter, key selector, or the push button is activated.
D8 - Remote Controls Learning Process
Press the "RF-Learn" button for 2 seconds, and LED1 will be on. Then, press the transmitter's top-left button. LED1 will blink twice and stay on for 10 seconds, then turn off. The remote is memorized.
D9 - System Learning Process for Double Leaf Gate
⚠️ IMPORTANT: The remote control memory storing operation must be completed before starting the final system learning process.
The LED2 light will remain ON until the system learning process is over. Let your gate be totally opened. Press «SYS-learn» (until LED2 begins to flash once every second, instead of twice per second as it normally would), then press the upper-left key for a double gate.
The system learning process will be as follows, step by step:
- [Step 1 diagram]
- [Step 2 diagram]
- [Step 3 diagram]
- [Step 4 diagram]

- [Step 6 diagram]
After step 6, the system learning process is complete. You can use it with the remote control:
- Double gate full opening
- Pedestrian opening (single gate)
D10 - System Learning Process for Single Leaf Gate
Switch 1 OFF.
Open the leaf totally.
Press «SYS-learn» (until LED2 begins to flash once every second, instead of twice per second as it normally would), then press the upper-right key for a single gate.
The system learning process will be as follows, step by step:

Problem | Solutions |
---|---|
Overheated back-up batteries | Check the wiring connection of the batteries. |
The gate doesn't move when pressing the button of the transmitter | 1. Check if LED1 is "ON" once pressing the transmitter. 2. Check if the voltage of the batteries is above 12V. 3. Check if LED2 is "ON" and blinks accordingly. 4. Make sure all the wiring connections are firmly connected to the terminals on the PCB. 5. Make sure the fuse is workable on the panel and power socket. |
The transmitting distance is too short | Make sure the connecting terminals of the antenna is firm. Check the battery on the transmitter. |
The flashing light does not work | Check if the wiring connection of the flashing light is correct. |
The leaves suddenly stop during moving | 1. Check if the gate can be moved freely and no obstacles in between. 2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm. 3. Make sure the fuse is workable. 4. Make sure there is no obstacle in the photocells beam. 5. Cut off the power of the engine. Release the motor and make sure the gate can move freely. |
The leaves does not move or only move toward one direction | 1. Check if the gate can be moved freely and no obstacles in between. 2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm. 3. Make sure the fuse is workable. 4. Make sure the safety beam are operating properly if installed. 5. Cut off the power of the engine. Release the motor and make sure the gate can move freely. 6. Increase the power with the switch 2 & 3. |
The master gate closes to the end first and the slave gate stops, which the opening or closing sequence is not being operated properly | Check the condition fuse. |
The gear motors does not run and the relay is noisy when operating the gate opening and closing | Check the condition fuse. |
