 • Place spacers in all the gear rack holes (G) to fix
it to the gate. You should place them in the center
of the ovalized rack holes, as shown in the image, so
you can fine-tune them at the end of the installation
if necessary.
 • Position a piece of gear rack over the pinion and
level it horizontally with one level.
 • Solder the spacer over the pinion (H).
 • Close the gate a bit until the other end of the
rack are supported on the pinion and weld the other
spacer to the gate.
 • Close the gate slightly, letting the gear rack
supported on the pinion and apply another piece of
rack. To synchronize the teeth with the piece
already installed, use an additional piece of
rack and place it under the unión of the other
two, holding them with clamps (I).
 • Open the gate until the tip of the new gear
rack it is supported on the pinion and weld the
spacer.
 • Remove the auxiliary gear rack piece and
open the gate until the pinion is over the other
gear rack end. Weld the spacer.
 • Repeat the steps 5 through 7 for each meter of gear rack until you reach the end.
 • Test the gate movement manually already with all the gear racks installed and weld the
remaining spacers. If there is any friction between the pinion and rack, adjust the rack on
the oval bolts.
Put the gate in the open position and unlock the motor (page 5B).
During the course of the gate, all elements of the gear rack must engage correctly
with the pinion. Spacers can not be welded to the gear rack. Do not use grease or
other type of lubricant between gear rack and pinion.

Put the gate in the open position and unlock the motor (page 5B).
 • Position the limit switch magnet on the gear
rack so that it is able to engage the limit switch
on the motor, before the gate reaches the opening
stopper. The magnetic limit switch is activate when
the magnet is aligned with the motor reader.
 • Insert the screws (in the accessories bag) until
the limit switch plate is fully tightened to the gear
rack.
 • Move the gate to the closed position and repeat
the steps 1 and 2 to fix the magnet on the closing
limit switch.
So that the magnetic limit switch can be engaged,
the magnet must be aligned with the motor reader.
Be careful to check if they are aligned when you
are installing. This is the only way to ensure the
successful operation fo the limit switch.

• Check all automation fixings.
• Make sure that the distance between the gear rack and the motor remains unchanged and if
it engages on the teeth of the motor pinion correctly (over time, some distortion may occur).
• Lubricate all gate systems/axis. Lightly lubricate the pinion and the gear rack.
The limit switches must be adjusted for the gate to stop before touching the
closing or opening stoppers. Manually test the limit switch with the door unlocked
before turn the motor power on to avoid problems due to wrong configuration.

SCHEMES FOR TESTS
07. COMPONENTS TEST
To detect if the failure is in the control board or in the motor, it is necessary to perform tests
with a direct connection to a V or V power supply. In the diagrams below, it is shown
how this connection should be made and how to interleave the different components wires.
NOTES:
• To perform the tests, there is no need to remove the automatism from the place it is installed,
because in this way, it is possible to understand if the automatism can function properly connected
directly to the power.
• You should use a new capacitor during this test to ensure that the problem does not lie on it.
All tests must be performed by skilled technicians due to serious danger
associated with the misuse of electrical systems!!

If the motor runs, the problem

the gate are stuck and sending
permanent signal to control

 • Open control board and check
if it has /V power supply;
 • Check input fuses of the
control board;
 • Turn off the control board's
motor and test it directly
connected to a battery to find out
if it is faulty (see page );
 • If the motor works, problem is
on the control board.
Pull it out and send it to our
MOTORLINE technical services for
diagnosis;
 • If the motor doesn’t work,
remove them from installation
site and send to our MOTORLINE
technical services for diagnosis.
 • Test the motor directly to a

technical services for diagnosis.
 • Test directly with a battery.
2 • If the motor doesn’t work,
remove them from installation
site and send to our MOTORLINE
technical services for diagnosis;
3 • If the motor works and moves
the gate well in its full course with
maximum force, the problem is
in the control board. Adjust the
power at the control board. Make
new programming of the motor
working time in the control board,
assigning the times required for
opening and closing with the
appropriate force - P2-FO, FC, ES;
5 • If this doesn’t work, remove
control board and send it to
MOTORLINE technical services.
NOTE: Setting force of the control
board should be enough to make
the gate open and close without
stopping, but should stop and
invert with a little effort from a
person. In case of safety systems
failure, the gate shall never cause
physical damaged to obstacles
(vehicles, people, etc).
All MOTORLINE control boards have LEDs that
easily allow to conclude which devices are with
anomalies.
All safety devices LEDs (DS) in normal situations
remain On.
All "START" circuits LEDs in normal situations
remain Off.
If LEDs devices are not all On, there is some
security systems malfunction (photocells, safety
edges), etc.
If "START" circuits LEDs are turn On, there is a
control device sending permanent signal
A) SECURITY SYSTEMS:
 • Close with a shunt all safety systems on the
control board (check manual of the control
board in question).
If the automated system starts working
normally check for the problematic device.
 • Remove one shunt at a time until you find
the malfunction device
 • Replace it for a functional device and check
if the motor works correctly with all the other
devices. If you find another one defective,
follow the same steps until you find all the
problems.
B) START SYSTEMS:
 • Disconnect all wires from START terminal
input.
 • If the LED turned Off, try reconnecting one
device at a time until you find the defective
device.
NOTE:
In case procedures described in sections A)
and B) don’t result, remove control board and
send to the MOTORLINE technical services for
diagnosis.
