The BFT Deimos is a series of sliding gate openers manufactured by BFT, an Italian company renowned in gate automation. It’s designed primarily for residential and light commercial sliding gates, offering a reliable and convenient way to automate entryways.

Key Features & Technologies

The BFT Deimos line incorporates several advanced features and technologies to ensure performance, safety, and ease of use:

• D-Track Technology: This is a smart torque management system that uses a microprocessor to continuously monitor the gate’s position and the thrust required for operation. It dynamically adjusts the motor’s power to maintain optimal torque, preventing false obstacle detection and ensuring maximum safety, even with variations in temperature or gate wear.
• 24V Technology: Many Deimos models utilize 24V technology, which offers precise control over gate movements, including smooth slowdowns during opening and closing. This also contributes to immediate stopping and reversal upon obstacle detection, enhancing safety.
• EELINK Technology: This system facilitates fast and secure programming and data transfer between the gate system and PCs using handheld programmers. It simplifies complex operations like control unit reconfiguration and remote control setup, making maintenance easier.
• Remote Control Cloning: BFT Deimos models feature a secure cloning system for MITTO remote controls, where the first remote “teaches” the second the necessary codes, which are then saved in the receiver. This process is secured with a Rolling Code transmission system for high security.
• Intensive Use: The Deimos range is built for intensive use, making it suitable for high-traffic residential or light commercial applications.
• Limit Switches: Depending on the model, Deimos gate openers come with either electromechanical or magnetic limit switches. Magnetic limit switches offer quicker and more precise installation.
• Compact Design: The Deimos actuators are designed for versatility, featuring a compact size and a low pinion position, which allows for easier installation.
• Manual Release: In case of power failure, a manual release mechanism (typically a knob with a personal key) allows for manual operation of the gate.
• Safety Devices: The control unit performs checks on safety devices like photocells before each operation to ensure safe movement and prevent damage to people or vehicles.

Models and Specifications

The BFT Deimos series includes various models to accommodate different gate sizes and weights. Common models include:

• Deimos BT A400: Designed for gates up to 400 kg (approx. 880 lbs) with a typical leaf speed of 12 m/min (approx. 39 ft/min).
• Deimos BT A600 (or Ultra A600): Suitable for gates up to 600 kg (approx. 1320 lbs), often with a similar leaf speed.
• Deimos AC A: Some models in the Deimos AC A range can handle gates up to 800 kg.

These models often have varying power supply options (e.g., 24V, 120V, 230V) and protection ratings (e.g., IP24, IP44) for different environmental conditions. Most models use a rack and pinion opening mechanism, known for its low maintenance and quiet operation.

Applications

The BFT Deimos is a popular choice for:

• Residential homes: Providing automated access for driveways.
• Light commercial properties: Such as small businesses, apartment complexes, or gated communities with moderate traffic.

It offers a blend of performance, safety, and smart technology for automating sliding gates.
