Product Information
Extra Heavy Duty Discreet Underground System
Reliability & Durability
The discreet extra heavy duty 24V DC motor is a powerful unit built from all metal components including its powdercoated foundation box and stainless steel top plate, internally the motor is constructed of all metal gears with a thick and strong motor output drive.
Designed in Australia, the extra heavy duty motor is for underground installations to cater for installs where there is no space above ground for mounting a motor or for installs where the user does not want the motor above ground. Furthermore it is highly flexible in its installation methods allowing for multiple diffrent orientations and positions.
Thanks to its all metal gears this Tough and Robust system can handle large gates up to 3m width or 200kg in weight each gate.
Drainage and Conduit Holes
With a drainage hole on either side of the foundation box it can be easily plumbed to to a pit or storm water 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.
Powder Coated Arms and the Manual Override System
The powdercoated steel linking arm which connects the motor output shaft to the drive channel and allows operation of the gate by the pivot motion.
This is achieved with the supplied bearing gliding through the powdercoated drive channel, furthermore to ensure compatibility regardless of the gate to ground clearance height three different choices of bearing height adjuster 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 onto the gate (can also be welded), and allows for the bearing from the linking arm to slide through and create the pivot motion of the gate through its operation.
The internal slide stops that are supplied will fit within the channel at either end and are tightened from underneath for a clamping effect to prevent 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 can only be used up to a maximum of 100° open angle. External gate stop is also provided in this kit and are required for the open angle greater than 100°
Installation Method 1
Recommended option and the easiest on the operator will allow for 120°+ operation
Center pivot of gate motor (output shaft) inline with the center 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
Center pivot of gate motor (output shaft) offset from the center 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.
Center pivot of gate motor (output shaft) offset from the center of the gate pivot point (hinge) by up to 200mm, arm is at a 20° angle to the drive channel/gate.
24V Universal Control Box | APC SIMPLY24
The APC Proteous Series, Simply24 Control Board is a universal control unit for all 24-volt gate openers. This control board will radically simplify the instiller’s job and provide high-performance levels in safety, time and speed. A single programming method can activate the automatic device and learns the setup cycle. Set-up and operating mode adjustments can be done using dimmers, dip switches and diagnostic LEDs. The control board is protected with a cover to avoid the damage from insects (the biggest cause of control board failure in Australia).

Galvanized Gate Stop
Galvanized steel construction for long life outdoor use
115mm Height
40mm Rubber bumper
Solid 100x80mm base
Pre-punched 10mm fixing holes
65mm Rubber Gate Stop
The supplied 65mm rubber gate stop with a steel base is used for the gate alignment and tension whilst they are in the closed position; it also allows the gates to be mounted up to 50mm off the ground.
Being that the minimum vehicle height from the ground is 100mm, it will not interfere with the vehicle. In the case that the vehicle was lower than the typical minimum, the stopper would not cause any damage as it is constructed from solid rubber but retains its general strength from the steel plate used at the bottom side contacting the driveway.
