7M TELESCOPIC Sliding Gate Opener with Typhoon 1600 Heavy Duty Sliding Gate Automation System with 7m Telescopic Sliding Gate Hardware Complete Kit

Typhoon 1600 High Torque AC Sliding Gate Automation System

Strong & Durable

The Typhoon 1600 650W Internal motor allows for an 1600kg capacity making it the ideal candidate for the larger gate installations including incline/decline situations.

Ready to go the on board receiver will accept the entire range of current APC High Security wireless control systems and accessories such as wireless keypads, push buttons and an extensive range of  remotes. Perfect for a simpler of no wiring needed installation.

All In One Motor Design

Ultra-compact, sleek design and with some clever re-arrangement the APC Typhoon 1600 is one of the smallest physical footprint systems on the market with zero compromise in the motor or gearbox size. The bottom cast alloy section is powder coated in an ultra-durable hammer tone grey finish whilst the top cover sports a lighter gloss grey making it perfectly neutral and suited for any garden or driveway

With separate open and close inputs as well as a shared open/close input the APC Typhon 1600 will support just about any wired accessory and  can be connected for a specific direction or to operate both. Perfect for Keypads, Push buttons, Induction Loops or Smart Devices such as Wi-Fi switches or GSM controllers.

Pre wired with the AC power cable and fitted with an on board low voltage transformer means the accessories connections are low voltage (18V DC) and safe to connect.

Manual Override System

Rest easy knowing that even if the power is out the gate can still be operated by using the secure key override, once overridden the gate can be easily opened and closed by hand, once re-engaged the gate is locked in and 100% secure.

Metal Pinion & Cast Casing

Only the best parts are used to ensure an incredibly strong build quality from the robust cast alloy casing all the way to the one-piece solid steel pinion gear no corners have been cut.

APC-PE2000 Photoelectric Safety Sensor Set

The Safety sensor set is used to prevent the closing cycle occurring during the case of the sensor path being interrupted by vehicles, trailers or any other obstacles.

If the gate begins to close and the sensor path is interrupted then the gate will stop and return to the open position.

Both sensors (transmitter and receiver) are wired back to the control box of the gate system using the supplied cable roll, alternatively a reflective sensor upgrade is available which will only require wiring from the sensor mounted at the control box.
 

• Up to 15 Metres Infared beam operating distance


• Only powers on when the command is given to close the gates


• Alignment led to assist in the installation process


• Weather sealed with the supplied cover seals


• Easy screw down wiring termination


 

Clydsdale 500 Telescopic Gate System

Consisting of Galvanized steel pulley carriers with sealed bearings this kit allows the final tensioning of the system to be performed from either (or both) ends of the gate rather than between the gates like conventional kits.

The Anchor bracket can be assembled in a raised setup (for bolt-on wheels) and a lowered setup (for recess mount wheels) to eliminate awkward and incorrect cable directions, this will improve the short term and long reliability of the cable and the system and help prevent cable fray.

The Trailing bracket is adjustable in depth to cater for varying distances between the two installed gates and has elongated fixing holes to allow for fine adjustment during the installation process prior to final fixing.

What is a Telescopic Gate:

A telescopic gate is a gate designed in two halves with a leading and a trailing gate. The leading gate will be the gate closest to the inside of the property whereas the trailing gate is the gate that is closest to the street. 

Typically a sliding gate would require the width of the driveway + the tail of the gate (350mm) as the minimum clear area required however the telescopic gate system  only requires half the driveway width + the tail of gate (350mm). This makes a telescopic gate superior in clearance space required and beneficial for townhouses, blocks of units and any other installation with limited space.

Key Features of Telescopic Gate:

• Face Mounted System (when using flat mount or recess mount wheels) but can be under mounted below gate (using flat-mount wheels)
• Sealed bearings not bushings
• Three cable tensioning points to allow an easier installation (other designs only have one tension point between the gates)
• Adjustable brackets provided for the use of recess mount or flat mounted wheels
• Low profile system (does not protrude above bottom section of the gate using 80x40 or greater)
• All hard parts are galvanized.
• All assembly screws are galvanized
• Telescopic cable is stainless steel and is provided in a 10m length

Heavy Duty Telescopic Gates Hardware Kit

This is a complete telescopic sliding gate hardware installation kit with all the parts required for a 7m telescopic sliding gate with Cladding.

Example of Telescopic Sliding Gate Leaf Size Calculation: If the driveway opening is 7000mm, then 2 x 3850mm gates leaf for telescopic gate systems, (2x3500mm + add 350mm on each leaf) The formula for telescopic sliding gate calculation is: Driveway opening size divided into 2 then add 350mm for each leaf.

This kit is suitable for 7m telescopic sliding gates with uneven surfaces for example gates with pickets or colourbond on the face of the gate and regular gates.

High quality galvanised compact yet very strong conversion kits with heavy-duty stainless steel 4mm cable, and this kit is complete and ready to install for 7m telescopic sliding gates. See kit contents above.

What is a Telescopic Gate:

Traditionally a 7m sliding gate requires another 7m of space away from the driveway opening for the gate to slide into.
The telescopic systems will almost halve this space required for the gate to slide into, this is because the telescopic systems enable the second gate to be pulled by the first gate once the first gate starts to move.

Telescopic Sliding Gate Leaf Size Calculation: The formula is: Driveway opening size divided into 2 then add 350mm for each leaf.

Example: if the driveway opening is 7000mm, then 2 x 3.85m gates (2x3500mm + add 350mm on each leaf)

"Z" Channel 7 x 1m Aluminium "Z" Section for Sliding Gates. Please Note: 2m and 3m Aluminium "Z" Section sizes are available for pickup. This Aluminium "Z" Section is the ideal choice for gates: - With an incline or decline (not on level ground) - With pickets or cladding on the face of the gate making an uneven surface on the gate - With spears at the top of the gate - With an arched top design
Wheels 4 x 78mm Recess mounted heavy-duty wheels with dual bearings. The wheels are fitted into the underside of the bottom gate frame, the wheel will raise the gate by approx 27mm from the sliding gate track.
U Guide 1 x 70mm U Guide Gate Keeper. This "U" Guide-stop is suitable for gates up to 70mm thick. The "U" Guide is installed at the closing end of the sliding gate.
Gate Stop 2 x 115mm Gate Stop. Heavy-duty anodised metal with rubber end for the open position.
Sliding Gate Block with "C" Channel 2 x Nylon Block 2 x "C" Channel This Nylon gate block and "C" channel is suitable for gates with uneven surfaces, for example, gates with pickets. The "C" channel is attached to the post, and the nylon block fits into the "C" channel and to the "Z" channel which is mounted to the top of the sliding gate.
