Electric Gates, Garage Door, Access Control, Smart Home & Security Forums

Just set up all parts for installing on my rack sliding gate on a "test bench" in the garage, before properly installing (lamp, IR, aerial)
Everything works as it should except .......
When I press button on my gate transmitter MITTO2, and the gate OPENS, the gate does not automatically close later, but when I press button to close gate, it closes, then on its own OPENS after about 10 seconds. So something is working the wrong way around.
Do I have to swop around wires, or programm, or, or, or ....?
I attach a diagram of the present wiring on to the board in the motor.
Thanks for your help.

May be motor wires wrong way around.

Can I just switch them around to try this, without any possible damage ensuing?

Yes, there is no + or - with motors.

Just tried it and swopped the cables 1 and 2 in the diagram........ it works, now it only automatically CLOSES the gate, as it should, but!!!!! Now the Limiting switch only works the wrong way around!

....../. perhaps I should try swopping the wires on the limiting switch?????

Thanks, you gave me the courage! I just swopped wires 1<->2 and 6<->7, and everything is 100%!! Still don't understand why swopping AC wires can make any difference, but it obviously does. Thanks again.
