Unsuitable limit switch 
setting

Check and adjust the position of the end stop sliding plates 
and that they activate the control spring.

CHAPTER 9: TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM

CAUSE

SOLUTION

The gearmotor 
is not working 

Fuse fault

Replace the fuse.

No power

The gate does 
not move or 
the motor slips

Obstacle impact control 
cutting in

Motor force setting 
not optimal

Repeat the work times and impact force setting 
programming.

The gate does 
not complete 
its travel 

Unsuitable gearmotor 
position

Check that the distance between the end stop sliding plate and 
the front, outgoing trim of the spring is between 25 and 35 mm.

Unsuitable limit switch 
sliding plate 
setting

The gate is 
jammed against 
the mechanical 
end stop

Remove the lower casing from the motor.
Unscrew the nuts fastening the base plate bolts.
Remove the motor from its position by releasing the pinion 
from the tooth rack.
By hand, move the gate right away from the mechanical 
end stop.
Release the motor manually.
Reposition the motor on the base plate.
Set the end stop sliding plates properly.
Replace the lower casing and secure the motor.
If necessary, repeat the work times and impact force setting 
programming.

Check the motor power supply input terminals to see if they are 
live.

Check that the power supply cable is not cut or broken (cable 
replacement must be carried out by an authorised technician).

Check F4 mains fuse efficiency
Check the 24V presence at the motor power supply clamps 5 and 6

Release the gate manually and check that there are no 
obstacles. If obstacles are found, remove them.
Repeat the “work times and impact force setting 
programming” procedure, setting a greater force.

N.B. The impact control can be switched off by 

positioning the SW1 microswitch 1 to ON;

 in this 

case, other safety systems compliant with regulations 
in force (e.g. sensitive edges) must be adopted. This 
is extremely important as 

THE INSTALLER IS 

LIABLE FOR THE SYSTEM AND FOR ENSURING 
ITS OPERATION COMPLIES WITH LEGAL 
PROVISIONS.

The remote 
control range 
is reduced

Unsuitable antenna 
connection

Check that the antenna is connected correctly to 
terminals 24 and 25.

External antenna 
required

To permit maximum reception distance, replace the 
internal antenna on the flashing light with an external 
one (SERAI OG/50 -SR 25.50).

SOG/4A receiver 
in use

Replace the built-in receiver with the SOG/4A card.

The first opening manoeuvre takes place during deceleration (if 
the gate is in an intermediate position) and can take up to 300 s; 
if it does not occur within this time, the gate must be moved to 
the fully open or fully closed position by hand (see chapter 8).
