Apache Low Voltage 24 Volt Flexible Articulated Arm Gate Operator

italian swing articulating arm gate motor

The Apache 24 Volt Swing Arm operator is a versatile and flexible operator allowing for connection to gates from flush mounting (0mm) up to 300mm set in away from the mounting point of the operator. Strong and quiet the Apache can operate gates smoothly and with ease with a rated capacity of up to 2.5m per gate (5m opening) and up to a maximum of 200kg per gate.

The oversized ALL METAL GEAR structure inside ensures a seamless operation without breakdowns or premature life unlike plastic and nylon gear sets. Also boasting a robust die-cast alloy case to encapsulate the gearing system all gears, motor and bearings are totally closed in and sealed from any outer elements. Built into the Alloy case we will also find the clever clutch release system (Emergency release) which is keyed to unlock for added security.

The unique Night Light system allows for illumination during operation and whilst the gates open adding a great guidance and a tidy aesthetic to the installation. To use this feature an additional cable (also low voltage) will be required between the gate controller and each Apache operator. With an easy to use (and secure) manual release system in place.

Operations are smooth and efficient using its 24 Volt DC motor driving the articulating arm clockwise/counter-clockwise. The end positions are set using the easiest possible method of adjustable limit stops. Limit stops are fitted to casted grooved positions to adjust both the maximum open and closed positions of the gate, being a mechanical system its a case of set and forget with no further adjustments being required. Typically the open and closed positions will not require and further stops unless higher wind loads are expected (cladded gates).

The Apache operator is 100% Universal Left and Right side meaning the same unit could be installed on EITHER side of the driveway.

The Apache is able to be installed with just a 40mm clear height available making it an easy choice when it comes to ground clearance, the Apache requires 450mm clear area from the edge of the driveway when the gate is open at 90° which makes it suited for the majority of installations where the gate is spaced away from neighboring feces and retaining walls.

NO NEED FOR GATE STOPS, the on-body limit stops are totally adjustable in there positioning for both the open and closed positions.

The connection for cable join between the Apache and the gate controller is made underneath the plastic cover and the wall/post/pillar mounting bracket allows for a conduit directly into the operator if desired.

CERO Built IN ready to go PWM Solar Regulator

Cero pwm solar regulator

The Cero Solar Regulator is PWM type suited for Gel, Sealed and Flooded batteries. It operates in a 3 stage charging control to ensure optimal performance to the batteries and provide the greatest longevity. The Cero is has protections in place in case of errors and failures in the solar panel installation or battery installation and will shut down in the case of short circuit and overload, then restart once clear.

The LCD display provides accurate data on the current input voltage from the solar panel, the current stage of charging and also the current battery voltage making it easy to check the status on the fly.

Battery System

alpha battery boxes 24v

Supplied with an external Dual DEEP CYCLE battery system 24V 15aH system as standard in a SLIMLINE Waterproof and Dust Proof Rated Enclosure (IP67 Cable Gland Supplied), there are a total of TWO battery capacity options available.

Option 1 (Premier 24-15B): The 15aH Deep Cycle setup allow for up to a two and a half weeks of usage without any charge from the solar panel in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days (whilst factoring in standby power), this is the ideal choice for areas that may see a consistent week of poor weather poor weather through winter without sunlight. This is great choice VIC, NSW, SA, ACT, TAS, QLD, NT and WA.

Option 2 (Alpha 22B): The 22aH Deep Cycle setup allows for well over three weeks in a typical residential installation of 10 cycles per days without seeing any charge from the solar panel (whilst factoring in standby power). It can also support Light commercial usage.

The allowances are general in nature and typically factor for a continuous period taking into account overcast and other poor weather conditions along with wet seasons that will contribute to a no charge/minimal charge result from the solar system. These allowances do not take into account shade on the solar panel which will effect the overall charging.

These allowances DO NOT take into account WiFi and Bluetooth Modules, as system consumption will increase using one of these devices Always use the next option up or maximum battery pack.
