• Instructions for using and installing the automation

With all these elements you will be able to automate your gate safely and easily.

Installation

Regarding the installation, it is relatively easy and is done in three steps. The first consists of mechanically installing the motor, the photocells and the control box.

Then, you will need to electrically connect all the accessories up to the electronic control card, then power the motor with the general power supply of the house.

Finally, you will need to configure the automation as you want it to work. For this operation, simply follow the instructions step by step. This is done very easily.

The installation can be done by you or by a professional if you are not at all handy.

The characteristics

This FAAC motorization comes with all the elements to secure and automate your gate. It is suitable for gates up to 5 meters wide and up to 200 kg. 24 V motors are reliable and powerful while being very safe. For us, this is the best voltage to choose for domestic use.

This automation is given for 80 cycles per day. In other words, for an individual, it will easily last several decades if maintenance and installation are done correctly.

The electronic control allows you to adjust the opening and closing. The latter are thus adjustable in force and speed, but also acceleration and deceleration at the end of the stroke. You can also choose to open the gate to the outside depending on the configuration of your entrance and to partially open it to pass on foot.

If you need to open the gate manually, for example during a power outage, a personalized key will unlock the motor. Since it’s not a standard key, security is quite high. To prevent power outages, you can also opt for a solar panel and a backup battery so you can use your gate without electricity.

The interview

Every six months, it is recommended to check the installation, whether the connections or the general condition of the mechanics and fixings. We advise you to deal with each small defect as soon as it appears otherwise it risks getting worse.
