DIY Kits - Technical Information
 

 

Gatesys DIY automatic gate systems use only high grade automation equipment from recognised leading supplier BFT Automation.

Above Ground Automation  

Included in the kit

     

The Phobos BTL operator is constructed to high standard and finished in a smart brushed aluminium housing.

It has an opening speed of 16 seconds with a standard maximum opening angle of 90 degrees, perfect for most entrances.

In addition there is a onboard manual release mechanism for use in the event of a power failure and an option for a battery back-up facility for added peace of mind.

The Phobos BTL operator is robust and reliable 24v dc operator with integral limit switches for a simplified and accurate installation.

 

   
     
Below Ground Automation   Included in the kit
     

The Eli 250v electro-mechanical system is designed to be installed below ground in order to provide the most discreet and aesthetically pleasing automated system for your gates.

It has an opening speed of 12 seconds (through 90 degrees).

The standard maximum opening angle is 110 degrees, although 180 degrees can be achieved in most cases if required.

In the unfortunate event of a power failure, the gates can be manually released and opened.

 

 

     
     
Control Panel  

Included in the kit

     

Both above and below ground automation systems are connected to control panels which add a number of key features;

Operator slow down allows controlled opening/closing. Force Adjustment is a key safety feature which enables the gate to recognize that it has touched an obstruction and respond by immediately re-opening the gates.

In addition, a pair of photo-electric cells ,which emits an infra red beam, will stop and re-open the gates when the beam is broken.

Other features include the ability to adjust the auto-close run time to between 0-100 seconds, in built radio receiver, LCD display and push button programming.

 

   
     
Access Control  

Optional Extra's

     
Once the gates have been automated they will be permanently closed.

Think about who needs access to your property; visitors, deliveries, the postman?

You may need to add an audio / video intercom system or digital entry pad, or both to allow access to your property.

These items are available from stock and we will be pleased to give advice on suitable equipment.
