Sliding gate operators for gates with a maximum weight of 600kg. The 746 range with its compact size is suitable for residential and low use commercial application.

COMPACT DESIGN.

The 746 operator is suitable for residential and light commercial use with a compact design. A new inductive limit switch with magnets on the rack aids ease of installation. The control board has been designed with extra safety and ease of use taken into account. The control board has specifi c terminals for designated stop, safety on closing, safety on opening, and safety edge.

SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATION

Our exclusive anti-crushing double clutch system creates a safe and sensitive automatic gate. There is also an electronic obstacle detection device which ensures immediate reversal or stopping of the gate if an obstacle is detected, adjustable on a scale of 1 to 50. The control board can allow partial opening of up to 3m for pedestrian access. It also offers the option of maximum torque at initial thrust, providing effi cient operation and long life for the system. Cycle programming allows the option of setting a countdown of cycles so that after a certain time, the operator will pause for 8 seconds before opening as a reminder that the unit needs a service. The 2 digit display provides the state of automation – aiding problem solving eg.00=closed.

SMOOTH RELIABILITY AND MAXIMUM DURABILITY

Designed incorporating constant lubrication of mechanical components, the 746 system ensures a very long trouble free service life. The motor and gear unit delivers smooth performance in a wide range of varying operating conditions.
