03.A 03.B
It’s important that this order of installation is respected!
Otherwise we can’t assure the correct installation of the barrier and it may
not work properly.
1▷ Create a foundation in
cement on the soil. The dimen-
sions on the side image are the
minimum to maintain, so they
can be superiors but never
inferiors.
You must leave one or more
tubes for the cables of the
dierent components to pass
through the foundation to the
barrier (photocells, wall starts,
key selectors, etc).
In case of power failure, the barrier is equipped with a manual unlocking and locking
system. Follow the instructions bellow to unlock or lock the barrier.
1▷ Open the door using the key supplied
with the barrier. Rotate the key to unlock
the door and pull it towards outside.
On the interior, you will have access to the
unlocking system.
2▷ The unlocking is made by rotating the
disc at the bottom of the motor, highlight-
ed/shaded on the image on the side.
To open or close you must try to rotate the
disk clockwise or counter-clockwise, that
depending on the orientation of the barrier
(right or left) will open or close the boom.

04. INSTALLATION
05.A 05.B
To assemble the boom, you must place
the boom on the barrier fixing plate
and align the four holes on each piece.
Then, you just need to place the boom
fastening metal plate and use the
screws to fasten the three parts
together.
After assembling the boom, you must define the length of it so that you can fix the
boom support, as visible on the image above.
When the boom’s length is decided, fix it with the two small screws situated at the end
of the fix part of the boom.
When the position of the boom’s support
is defined, you can fix it to the ground.
Make two holes on the fixing ground, and
place the screws supplied.
Align the support holes with those same
screws and fasten the support using the
nuts.
1▷ Open the door using the key supplied
to unlock it and then pull it to the
outside.
2▷ Rotate the rod (image above) to
unlock the cover.

 SPRING ADJUSTMENT
04. INSTALLATION
06.A 06.B
1▷ Remove the screw A.
2▷ Put the boom like on phase 1 as shown
on the above image. Let it go and it must
maintain on that position, or rising very
slowly. If the boom starts to descend or rise
adjust the springs untill you can make the
boom become stabilized.
3▷ Put the boom like on phase 2, phase 3,
phase 4 and phase 5 and repeat the same
process of point 2 for each phase. With the
adjustment of the springs, you must achieve
a stage where you can let go the boom in
each position you desire and it must stay
stabilized. The springs must be calibrated to
sustain the total wheight of the boom
without the help of the motor.
4▷ Refit the screw A.
Before starting the tuning of
the springs is necessary to
remove the screw identified in
the illustration.
ADJUSTMENT▷ To adjust the springs,
you must use a wrench to fasten or
release the springs nuts. If you rotate
them clockwise you are giving tension to
the springs causing the boom to rise up,
and rotating counterclockwise you are
removing tension from the springs
causing the boom to descend.
3▷ The hooks that secure the top cover
are also rotated and release the cover.
4▷ Pull the cover up to remove it.

LIMIT-SWITCHES
04. INSTALLATION
 BOOM LEVELING
07.A 07.B
After installing the barrier, you must verify the position of the boom while closed. If it
isn’t aligned horizontally when closed, follow the instructions bellow to adjust it.
Barrier’s interior:
1▷ Loosen the nuts of the extensible arm
shown in the image of the barrier’s interior.
2▷ Insert a small rod on the hole located on
the extensible arm so you can rotate it
more easily.
3▷ To level the boom when closed, you just
need to rotate the extensible arm. If you
rotate to the direction shown by the arrow
of the image, you are reducing it’s size and
causing the boom to rise. If you rotate on
the other direction, you are increasing it’s
size causing the boom to descend.
4▷ When the boom is leveled, you must
fasten the nuts of the extensible arm to
lock it’s length. This will prevent the arm to
accidentally increase or decrease during the
normal usage of the barrier.
NOTE▷ The development of all mechanical
parts was made to assure an opening
degree of 90° in whatever leveling position
you adjust the boom. This means that if you
align it horizontally when closed, it will be
vertically aligned when openned.
(Horizontal level)
You should disconnect the barrier from the electric power. This way there
will be no risk of activating and an accident occurs.
04. INSTALLATION
The mechanical limit-switches of the barrier
are shown on the image on the left.
They consist of two rings fixed to the boom’s
rotation shaft, that when openning or
closing will activate the micro-switches also
installed. This will cause the control board to
stop the barrier when the micro-switches
are activated, one for each type of maneu-
vers.
Adjust limit-switches:
1▷ Slightly loosen the screw of the ring you
want to adjust, so it becomes easier to
move.
2▷ Rotate it to the desired position, so it can
activate the micro-switch and stop the
boom on the correct position.
3▷ Fasten the ring’s screw you’ve adjusted to
fix it on that position.
NOTE: When adjusting the limit-switches you must also need to adjust the mechanical
stoppers.
The mechanical stoppers shown in the image on the side, were developed to limit the
movement of the arms inside the barrier’s body.
After adjusting the limit-switches, you must need to adjust the stoppers so that the
arm shaded on the image touches them as soon as the micro-switches are activated.
This will cause the stoppers to hold the boom’s weight when it gets to end of course.
To make the adjustments, you just need to loosen the bolts that fix them, rotate them
and fasten the bolts to fix them on that position.

BARRIER’S COURSE CONFIGURATION  CHECKING LIMIT-SWITCHES CONNECTIONS
All the programming process must be made with the control board
connected to a 230V power supply.
After you check the connections, you must check if the
limit-switches are working properly.
▶ Check limit-switches:
1▷ Unlock the barrier (see page 03.A) and move it manually
to middle course (45º).
2▷ Verify if the LEDs FCH e FAP are ON. If not, check the
connections. When both LEDs are ON, go to next step.
3▷ Manually close the barrier and LED FCH must switch
OFF.
4▷ Manually open the barrier and LED FAP must switch
OFF.
If the LEDs don’t switch OFF as explained it means that
their cables are badly connected. Switch the cables of
the terminals 7 and 9 of CN3 connector.
05. MC15 CONTROL BOARD CONFIG

The first step to program the control board is to verify all connections of the various
components. Please verify the scheme of the connections on the page 12.A
Openned:
- the LED FAP must
switch OFF and
the LED FCH
must keep
ON.
Closed:
- the LED FCH must switch OFF
and the LED FAP must keep ON.
Middle course:
- the LEDs FAP e FCH
must keep ON.

▶ Programming the pause time in automatic mode:
1▷ Press the SEL key once and the LED CODE will start blinking. Press again the SET key
as many times as you need until the LED T.PAUSA starts blinking.
2▷ Press SET once and wait as much time as you want for pause time.
3▷ Press SET once and the pause time is defined.
CONDOMINIUM FUNCTION AND POTENTIOMETERS 
The condominium function of this control board causes the barrier to only accept
opening orders. When the barrier is closed, if you press the transmitter’s key to open, it
will start openning, but during the openning maneuver or when it is already openned, if
you try to close it, the control board won’t accept it.
This causes the barrier to only close automatically.
▶ Activate and deactivate condominium function:
1▷ Press the SEL key and the LED CODE will start blinking. Press again the SET key as
many times as you need until the LED CMD AP starts blinking.
2▷ Press SET to confirm.
3▷If the LED CMD AP stays ON it means that the function is activated, and if it stays
OFF it means that the function is deactivated.
▶ Adjust sensibility and force potentiometers:
The force potentiometer controls the force of the motor when opening and closing.
The sensibility potentiometer controls the sensibility of the control board when
detecting obstacles. The more sensitive it is the quicker it will detect any obstacle
during it’s course and invert the orientation of working of the motor.
1▷ To adjust potentiometers, run them with a small screwdriver. Turning to the right
side, will increase and turning to the left will decrease.
NOTE: Everytime you make an adjustment to the force potentiometer, you must
perform a new barrier’s course configuration (see page 08.B).

from a person.
In case of safety systems failure,
the barrier 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:
1 ▷ 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.
2 ▷ Remove one shunt at a time until you
find the malfunction device .
3 ▷ 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:
1 ▷ Disconnect all wires from START terminal
input (terminal 3 of CN3 connector).
2 ▷ 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 our technical services for
diagnosis.
1 ▷ Check capacitors, testing
operator with new capacitor;
2 ▷ If capacitors are not the
problem, disconnect motor from
control board and it them by
connecting directly to power
supply in order to find out if it has
problems (see page 11.A).
3 ▷ If the motor works, the
problem is from control board.
Pull it out and send it to our
MOTORLINE technical services
for diagnosis;
4 ▷ If the motor doesn’t work,
remove them from installation
site and send to our MOTORLINE
technical services for diagnosis.

IMPORTANT: All tests must be made by qualified technicians due to the serious
danger related to the incorrect use of electronic systems!!
These maintenance procedures must be realized every year to assure the well
functioning of the automatism.

08. MAINTENANCE
11.A 11.B
 CONNECTIONS SCHEME
Check tightness of the screws that fix the
boom to the barrier’s body.
Check if the fastening metal plates didn’t
suer any modification with the consistent
utilization to assure the proper functioning
of the barrier.
To detect which are the components with problems in barrier’s installation, sometimes
it will be needed to run some tests with direct connection to a 230Vpower supply. For
that, it’s necessary to interpolate a 16µF capacitor in between the connection for the
barrier to operate.
At the bellow scheme, it’s shown how the connection must be done interpolating the
dierent device’s cables.
NOTES:
▷ To run the test you don’t need to remove the barrier from the installation site where it
is installed. This way you can more easily find out if the barrier, connected directly to the
power supply, works properly.
▷ The order to connect the capacitor’s cables on the barrier’s cables is not important.
You just have to connect one on the Brown cable and the other on the Black cable.
▷ The common cable of the barrier must always be connected to the power supply.
▷ To invert the operating direction, you just need to change the Black cable with the
Brown cable of the barrier, on the connection to the power supply.
