Extra Heavy Duty Discreet Underground System

Discreet Underground System with Stainless Steel Top Plate, Wider Opening Angle, All Metal Gears, and Suits Most Gate to Ground Clearance Heights, Electric Gate Opener for Driveway Swing Gates

Reliability & Durability

The discreet, extra-heavy-duty 24V DC motor is a powerful unit built from all-metal components, including a foundation box and a stainless steel top plate. The motor is constructed of all-metal gears and features a thick, strong motor output drive.

Designed in Australia, the extra-heavy-duty motor is for underground installations where there is no space above ground for mounting a motor, or where the user does not want the motor above ground. Furthermore, it is highly flexible in its installation, allowing multiple orientations and positions.

Thanks to its all-metal gears, this Tough and Robust system can handle gates up to 4.5m wide or 300kg in weight.

Drainage and Conduit Holes

With drainage holes on either side of the foundation box, it can be easily plumbed to a pit or stormwater system to ensure the box is never filled with water. There is also a higher position hole for the cabling from the control box to the motor.

Swing Gate Opener Arms and the Manual Override System

The steel linking arm, which connects the motor output shaft to the drive channel, allows the gate to be operated by pivot motion.
This is achieved by the supplied bearing gliding through the powder-coated drive channel, ensuring compatibility regardless of the gate-to-ground clearance height. To accommodate different bearing heights, three bearing height adjusters are supplied.

The easy-to-use manual override can be used from either side, since the gate motor is a universal left/right-side fitting. Simply unlock with the manual release allen key, and the gate will be free and can be opened and closed manually in the case of an emergency

Powder Coated Channel

The powder-coated steel drive channel bolts to the gate (can also be welded) and allows the bearing from the linking arm to slide through, creating the gate's pivot motion during operation.

The supplied internal slide stops fit within the channel at either end and are tightened from below to provide a clamping effect that prevents over-travel of the gate system.

Motor Dimensions and Installation

Pulling to open (opening inwards) can be set to open each gate up to 120° (maximum recommended); however, 130° to 160° is achievable, as with underground systems, there is no concern regarding the motor clashing with the gate.

Adjustable in-drive channel stops are supplied with the kit if a completely discreet stop is preferred, but they can only be used for an open angle of up to 100 °. An external gate stop is also provided in this kit and is required for an open angle greater than 100°

Installation Method 1

Recommended option and the easiest for the operator will allow for 120°+ operation

Centre pivot of gate motor (output shaft) is inline with the centre of the gate pivot point (hinge), arm is at a 45° angle to the drive channel/gate

 

Installation Method 2

Maximum 100°, if option 1 cannot be used. Preferred over option 3

Centre pivot of gate motor (output shaft) offset from the centre of the gate pivot point (hinge) by up to 200mm, arm is at a 45° angle to the drive channel/gate

 

Installation Method 3

Maximum 90°, Hardest on the operator and should only be used in special circumstances as required.

Centre pivot of the gate motor (output shaft) offset from the centre of the gate pivot point (hinge) by up to 200mm; arm at a 20° angle to the drive channel/gate.

Technical Data Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will the APC-ABLE EVO2 work with my existing swing gate operator?

Yes. The APC-ABLE EVO2 is engineered as a universal 24V swing-gate motor control board. Provided your existing gate motors run on a 24V DC configuration, this board can be wired to control them, making it one of the most flexible options for gate repairs and upgrades across Australia. (Please call our specialist if you are buying for your existing system to ensure compatibility.)

What makes a 24V electric gate motor control system better than a 230V system?

A 24V system offers significant advantages in safety and refinement. It allows the control board to continuously monitor electrical current to detect blockages (obstacle detection) and enables "soft-start" and "soft-stop" handling, which prevents the gates from slamming violently. Additionally, low-voltage wiring is safer and more flexible for residential properties.

Does this control panel come ready for outdoor installation?

Absolutely. The APC-ABLE EVO2 comes complete with its own dedicated, heavy-duty weatherproof housing. It is fully rated for outdoor environments and designed to shield the delicate internal digital circuitry from rain, dust, pests, and UV exposure.

Can I connect accessories like solar power backups, safety sensors, or wireless keypads?

Yes, the board features an expansive, clearly labelled terminal strip. It natively supports standard safety photocells (infrared beams), external receivers, wireless or wired keypads, and automatic vehicle loop detectors to customise your automatic gate opener Australia-wide.

APC-RR-11 Retro Reflective Sensor

The retro-reflective 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.

The sensor ( which is the transmitter and receiver) is wired back to the control box of the gate system using the pre-connected cable. There is no requirement for wiring across the driveway using this type of sensor.
