Renovation kit for existing 12 V automation systems
The renovation kit is used to upgrade old 12 V automation systems fitted with an IKOR electronic board that is no longer available. It is installed on the existing frame by replacing the control cabinet and the 12 V motors with 24 V motors.
It gives your automation system a new lease of life and also includes a pedestrian opening function and travel-end deceleration.
The kit includes:
- 1 STAR 24 electronic unit
- 1 or two 24 V motors with encoder depending on whether the gate has 1 or 2 leaves
- the cable connecting the motors to the electronic unit.
Kits for collective installations
Installations in collective areas must be carried out by a qualified professional and require the installation of safety devices such as photocells, flashing lights, area lighting, and ground markings, as well as a maintenance contract including two annual inspections.
Our ‘collective’ kits include two sets of photocells and one flashing light. We can also supply 10 or 20 watt LED spotlights.
Solar option for AKIA STAR kits
The solar option can be used to power gates where it is difficult to provide a 230 V supply to the posts.
It is supplied with the dedicated AKIA PU2M control board and a 12 V–25 W solar panel.
All our kits are scalable; please contact us if you have any specific requirement
Key benefits of our motor-drive kits
Safety
- Ultra-sensitive stop function upon detection of any obstacle (children, animals, etc.).
- No 230 V supply required at the gate: full low-voltage operation.
- Battery operation in the event of an emergency or power cut..
- Eliminates safety profiles on collective swing gates and the risks associated with pinion-and-rack systems on sliding gates.
Functional benefits
- Highly flexible operation: traction generated by rubber tyre.
- Speed: 5 to 8 seconds per 90° opening cycle for 3 to 4 metre gates.
- Completely silent operation.
- Permanently relieves pressure on the gate and its fastenings.
- Built-in electro-mechanical locking system.
- Remote control range: 30 to 50 m or more with external antenna, depending on environmental conditions.
- 4-function remote controls: gates, garages, lighting, etc.
- Suitable for heavy use in private, public, or industrial environments.
- Can operate on battery power alone for several days..
Reliability and durability
