230V Swing Gate Automation Kit, Twin Electromechanical Rams, Leaves up to 3m

A slim twin ram kit for residential swing gates. The kit has two slim electromechanical rams that fit above ground between the gate post and the leaf, with a 230V control board, a pair of photocells, two 2-channel rolling code remotes and a warning sign. It is rated for leaves up to 3m long and 400kg. Each ram has a key release so the gate can be opened by hand in a power cut. The price shown is for one kit.

Why choose it

Slim profile. The low black rams sit neatly along the gate rails.

Everything in the box. Control board, photocells, remotes and a warning sign come with the rams.

Rolling code remotes. 2-channel remotes with rolling code for secure operation.

Manual release. A key release on each ram for use in a power cut.

Where it is used

Driveway gates on houses, flats and small business premises, fitted above ground on brick, stone or steel posts.

Specifications

• 2 electromechanical rams
• 1 230V control board
• 1 pair of adjustable photocells
• 2 x 2-channel rolling code remote controls

Fixing positions matter

A ram needs set distances between the hinge and the post bracket to reach a full opening. The drawing gives the A, B, C, D and E dimensions for 90 and 110 degree openings. On an existing gate, check the hinge position and the post face can meet them before you order.

230V or 24V?

This is a 230V kit. For long leaves or gates used many times a day, a 24V system with a higher duty cycle is the safer choice: see the 24V ram kit or call us for advice.

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 brackets and gate brackets using the dimensions in the drawing for your opening angle, then hang the rams between them. Mount the control board, fit the photocells across the opening, run the cables and set the working times on the board. The mains connection must be made by a qualified electrician.

Care

Keep the ram pivots 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.
