- P2 (Force Adjustment): Adjusts the motor force during operation.
- P3 (Pedestrian Course Time): Configures the opening time for pedestrian access.
- P4 (Pause Time and Gates Delay): Sets the pause time before closing and the delay between gate leaves.
- P5 (Photocells 1 Programming): Configures the behavior of the first set of photocells.
- P6 (Photocells 2 Programming): Configures the behavior of the second set of photocells.
- P7 (Operating Logic): Defines the overall operating mode (Automatic, Step by step, Condominium).
- P8 (Flashing Light): Configures the flashing light's operation.

Maintenance Features
The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section for both final consumers and specialized installers. This section categorizes anomalies by behavior and provides corresponding procedures for diagnosis and resolution.
Troubleshooting for Final Consumers:
- Motor doesn't work: Check power supply, remote control, and gate movement.
- Motor doesn't move but makes noise: Check gate movement, mechanical problems, and capacitors.
- Motors open but doesn't close: Check remote control, photocells, and safety devices.
- Motor doesn't make complete course: Check gate movement, mechanical problems, and capacitors.
Troubleshooting for Technicians:
For each anomaly, the manual provides detailed procedures for technicians, including:
- Open control board and check if it has 230V power supply.
- Check input fuses.
- Disconnect motors from control board and test them by connecting directly to power supply.
- If motors don't work, the problem is on the control board. Pull it out and send it to our MOTORLINE technical services for diagnosis.
- Remove them from installation site and send to our MOTORLINE technical services for diagnosis.
- Check all motor axis and associated motion systems related with the gate and automatisms (rails, pulleys, bolts, hinges, etc.) to find what is the problem.
- Check capacitors, testing motor with new capacitors.
- If capacitors are not the problem, disconnect motors.
- Check if there is any obstacle in front of the photocells.
- Check if any of the control board LEDs (e.g., selector, pushbutton, video intercom, etc.) are stucked and sending an open signal to control board.
- Consult a qualified MOTORLINE technician.
- All control boards MOTORLINE have LEDs that easily show how to conclude which devices are with anomalies. For example, if a photocell(s) in normal situations remain ON, "START" circuit LEDs in normal situations remain OFF, "F-LETS" circuit LEDs in normal situations remain OFF, "SAFETY" circuit LEDs (photocells, safety edges), if "START" circuits LEDs are turn OFF but the gate or control device sending permanent signal.
- Close with a shunt all safety systems on the control board (check manual of the control board in question). If the automated system begins to work normally check for a 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 problems.
- Disconnect all wires connected to the START connector.
- If the LED turned OFF, try reconnecting one device at a time until you find the defective device.
- Appropriate force (consult control board manual).
- If this doesn't work, remove control board and send it to MOTORLINE technical services.
- Setting force of the control board should be sufficient to make the gate work without stopping, but should stop and invert with a little effort from a person in case of obstructions/failure, the gate shall never cause physical damage to obstacles (vehicles, people, etc.).
Components Test (Motor A 230V/110V):
The manual provides instructions for testing the motor and capacitor connections, ensuring proper functionality. It emphasizes that all tests must be performed by qualified personnel due to serious danger associated with the misuse of electrical systems.
