Hi folks,
I'm really baffled. I have replaced the motors at my gates like for like. Problem is they are opening when they should be closing, and closing when they should be opening there's an automatic closing setting applied but it's opening them not closing as well . I really can't get my head around it. Any help would be very grateful. The motors are beninca due.it14n

Hi,

Thanks for the message.

this should be a simple fix in my experience. the motor's polarity is likely to be incorrect thus operating with the opposing logic as supplied by the control board. reversing the two connections which are fixed with the capacitor should resolve your issue.
