Most operators are available in 115v however some are only available in 220v we have an optional step-up transformer that will increase the voltage from 115v to 220v thus allowing all operators to be fitter anywhere

The type of operator will depend on the size of the gate, its weight, design, and of course your budget If you are unsure what operator you require telephone 772-545-2120 any we will advise you on the correct operator

Range will depend on the installation but normally you would expect a range of at lease 100 ft and with and optional aerial you increase it up to 300ft.

We always recommend that photobeams are installed on both sides of the gate swing this will help prevent the gates from closing upon a vehicle or a person. Often the rear photobeams will require mounting posts we can supply these if required

Almost any control option that you can think of can be used ranging from radio transmitters, computer controlled card readers, CCTV (camera) systems, Telephone entry systems Audio and Video etc We can help you decide what system is suitable for your application

A: No but the system will last longer if there are some drains through the foundations we recommend that 2x 2in pipes and installed from the foundation box through the concrete foundation this will allow the water to drain

A; A lot will depend on the location, and the use that the gate is expected to get We would recommend that the limits that are set for each operator are not exceeded Please telephone for further advice

Again this will depend on the gate and operator normally we recommend to fit a lock on gates that are over 12 to 16 ft long (per-leaf)

Yes, but you must not exceed the overall dimensions of the piston. Remember that changing the dimensions will change the thrust and power of the operator so it may “stall” in high winds

Yes it is very simple to lock open the gates when required, you will need the “brake” the safety circuits you can do this either by a manual switch or a time clock. There are many more devices that will allow the gates to be locked open.

Yes most gates can have automation installed, gates must be able to open easily by hand.

No the “exit wand” is only designed to work to exit or entry the gates it would not work as safety.

Yes with our many years in the security industry we can certainly help with the design of all types of security systems. Please telephone our design team at our Stuart office for more information

We recommend that only genuine Faac Oil be used as this is specially formulated for our operators.

The service intervals will depend on the number of uses expected e.g. a standard domestic installation will need one service a year where a sub-division may need four services a year.

We recommend that a fishing scale in used on the end of the gate to measure the force of the gate when moving it should be between 15 and 20lbs and remember to check the gate opening and closing

Very easy, each section of the drive rack is installed when the gate is installed this will allow for any movement in the ground. Remember the drive rack option is a lot quieter than chain and will not require adjustment

This comes down to budget and choice. Audio intercoms will allow commutations from the gate to special intercom handsets in the house, an alternative system uses your standard telephone system these systems normally have advance features such as call forwarding, in-built keypads etc. both systems can be fitted with internal cameras if required

Yes Cameras can be either interfaced with your intercom/telephone system or can be a separate system which is linked to the gate allowing recording or viewing when the gates are opening. System can also be link with a movement dectors if required.

It is very simple to install a barcode reader to the system as the system only requires a “dry” contact to allow the gates to work.

It is possible to link the gate control box with the driveway lights via a standard relay interfaced with a photocell to prevent the lights from switching on during the day

There many ways to allow tradesmen and deliveries to access the gate, this will depend on the level of security on each individual site. The most popular way is to have a trade button interfaced with a time clock to restrict the hours of access. It is possible to make the front safety loop a free entry loop this would normally be linked with a seven day time clock to restrict the hours on operation

Yes most of our operators have instructions in Spanish, French, German You will need to request a language other than English

Yes, it is simple to install adjacent to the drive way surface
