Really need a better picture of the ram.
Reverse movement is classed as reverse stroke to release electric locks or sprung drop bolts before opening gates, totally normal but not always needed.
General service agreement/contract should already be active if youe school is using the gates. BFT brackets tend to bend on the leaf reducing their final travel to the maglock, these will require replacing. Sounds like the stroke geometry has not been correctly adhered too.
BFT Lux's are a standard model and haven't really changed, the 230v motor relies on a 6.3uf capacitor to offset the phase and drive the motor clockwise or anticlockwise depending on which winding is energised. They do not have a slowdown phase but a hydraulic restictor valve setup. You can use the slowdown parameter on different boards i.e. FAAC 455, SEA Gate2/swing etc... BFT Rigel 4/5 or 6 specifically state not to use the slowdown parameter for hydraulic motors due to the stall effect.
Hope this helps
