TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter describes the most frequently encountered problems with the solutions for resolving them. In certain cases, it is explicitly envisa-
ged that operations be performed by a professional fi tter: these indications must be followed in order to avoid exposing oneself to serious risks.
4.1
Malfunctions indicated on the control unit
The malfunctions detected by the control unit are indicated through the lighting of the LEDs on the display
according to precise combinations.
The control unit also indicates the presence of a fault on the exterior through the fl ashing lamp: three fl ashes and a pause, if the motor is in motion.

ACTION
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Closure stop plate
The control intervenes blocking the operator and
switching it to dead man mode (persistent commands)
and at reduced speed.
Try to perform a complete two-way travel (at
reduced speed and with persistent commands).
If the problem persists or arises frequently
it is necessary to call the assistance service.
Check the phototest setting and try to give
another command to repeat the phototest.
If the problem persists or arises frequently
it is necessary to call the assistance service.
In this situation release the automation and call
technical assistance.
The check intervenes keeping the system in stop
conditions.
The control intervenes by passing the system to
the operation condition with dead man command
and reduced speeds.

AUTOMATION USE
5.1 Flashing light functions
The fl ashing light is a safety device used to indicate at a distance that the gate is moving. The light signals emitted by the fl ashing light are not always
the same and depend on the movement (opening or closure) that the gate is performing.
The fl ashing light is also used by the automation’s control unit to indicate a malfunction. In this case, the light signals emitted by the fl ashing light are
different from those emitted during normal function.
The fl ashing light has three fl ashing modes:
1. slow for the gate opening phase;
2. fast (fl ashing times halved) during closure;
3. special fl ashing characterised by three fl ashes and a pause to signal a malfunction state.
5.2 Automation malfunction
The automation indicates the presence of a malfunction on the exterior by means of a fl ashing light (three fl ashes and a pause); if the problem is not a
serious one, the user may resolve it as follows:
a) keep the movement command pressed down (radio control or selector key);
b) if the gate moves at reduced speed, perform an opening travel and take the gate to closure by continuing to hold the command key down;
c) Switch the power supply off and back on again.
d) Upon remote control command the automation is in normal function.
ATTENTION: if the problem persists or arises frequently it is necessary to call the assistance service.
In this case switch off the electricity supply to the automation. Do not attempt “amateur” repairs. Use the gate manually after releasing the actuator.
