FTX Swing Gate Motor
Solution for applying in private homes and apartment buildings, on small and medium-sized gate posts
The CAME FTX swing gate motor is a popular choice for automating medium-sized swing gates in residential settings. Here’s a breakdown of its key features and benefits using British spellings:
Applications:
- Designed for automating single or double swing gates in residential environments.
- Well-suited for gates with a maximum weight of up to 200 kg (for versions up to 2.0 metres) or 225 kg (for versions up to 1.5 metres) per leaf, depending on the specific model.
- Handles gates with a maximum width of 2.2 metres (for 200 kg leaf weight) or 1.7 metres (for 225 kg leaf weight).
Power and Performance:
- Powered by a reliable 24V DC motor for efficient operation.
- Features an encoder-based movement control system (optional in some models): This provides precise obstacle detection and refined slowdown management for enhanced safety.
- Offers smooth and silent movement with an opening time of 20-30 seconds at 90°.
Safety Features:
- Safety stop function: Reverses gate movement if an obstacle is detected during closing (This likely works in conjunction with photocells or safety edges, which are not necessarily included).
- Compatible with safety devices: The system can be integrated with additional safety features like photocells and safety edges for a comprehensive safety setup (purchased separately).
- Built-in radio decoder: Allows for wireless control using compatible CAME transmitters (purchased separately).
Additional Features:
-
- Compact design: The FTX boasts a discreet design that blends well with residential environments.
- Simplified connections: Easy installation with a single three-conductor cable for faster setup (consult the user manual and consider your comfort level with electrical wiring before attempting DIY installation).
- Emergency operation: The motor can be operated manually during power cuts.
- Control board with display and separate terminals (on some models): Facilitates easier start-up, configuration, and diagnostics (refer to the specific model’s manual for confirmation).
- Potential for CAME Connect (on some models): This allows for remote management of the gate using the CAME Connect app and gateway (both purchased separately).
