Description
Compact rams for a pair of swing gates, 230V. This kit has two irreversible electromechanical rams that fit above ground between the post and the leaf, each rated for a leaf up to 3m and 600kg. The rams lock the gate shut without an electric lock, and the kit includes the control unit, a pair of photocells, two remote controls and a receiver card. The price shown is for one kit.
Why choose it
Opening stop built in. A mechanical opening limit stop is built in; a closing stop is available as an accessory.
Easy to fit. One ram fits left or right leaves, with adjustable brackets for quicker fitting.
Locks itself shut. The irreversible ram holds the gate closed when stopped.
30% duty cycle. Suits normal domestic and light commercial use; choose 24V for heavy traffic.
Where it is used
Driveway gates on houses, flats and small business premises.

This is the 230V version, rated for a 30% duty cycle. For gates used many times a day, the 24V ram kit is rated for 80%.
Installation and safety
Powered gates must be installed by a competent installer, with the mains supply wired by a qualified electrician, and the finished gate should be risk assessed and force tested to BS EN 12453. The photocells in the kit are part of that safety system: fit them across the opening so the gate stops if anything is in its path.

Fitting
Fix the post bracket and gate bracket so the ram can travel through the full opening, using the fixing geometry in the instructions. Hang the ram, mount the control unit, fit the photocells across the opening and set the limits and force on the control unit. The mains connection must be made by a qualified electrician.
Care
Keep the ram and brackets clean and check the fixings every 6 months. Test the photocells regularly, and have the system serviced by a competent installer at least once a year.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for the whole kit?
Yes, the complete kit as listed, with two rams.
Do I need an electric lock?
Not normally. The ram is irreversible, so it holds the gate closed when stopped.

Yes. Unlock the ram with its release key and swing the gate by hand.
How big a gate will it move?
Each leaf can be up to 3m long and 600kg.
Is it suitable for a busy gate?
This 230V version is rated for 30%. For heavy use choose the 24V ram kit.
