The characteristics of the Virgo Smart engine
The operator is powered by 24 volts, therefore it is durable and reliable even with a large number of daily openings.
The opening takes 14 seconds to go up to 90°, then 4 seconds more to reach the maximum opening, i.e. 120°.
The motor power is 110w. It is powerful enough to drive any type of gate as long as it meets the conditions given in the technical sheet. Each leaf must not exceed 2.5 m² and 200 kg.
The electromechanical limit switches ensure precise stopping when opening and closing. The torque limiter allows you to be safe if the gate were to force. At the end of the travel, the automation automatically slows down so as not to constrain the leaf.
In the event of a power outage, it is possible to unlock the gate with a personalized key.
The U-LINK system, present in the cabinet, allows you to connect using a Wi-Fi module (B EBA WIFI) and thus be able to control your gate from your smartphone or any other connected object.
The motors’ articulated arms are relatively long, which allows easy outward opening.
