AC DIY Double Swing Gate Automation kit (GTR058) - Richmond ...
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • Motor:
    A motor, powered by electricity (AC or DC), provides the force to move the gate. 
  • Control System:
    A control board receives signals from a remote control, keypad, or other access control system and activates the motor accordingly. 
  • Opening Mechanism:
    Depending on the type of swing gate opener, the mechanism can be a linear arm, an articulated arm, or an underground system. 
  • Safety Features:
    Many swing gate openers include safety features like obstruction detection, which stops the gate if it encounters an obstacle during opening or closing.

Dual swing gate opener -VDS RG24

*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 500 Kg (Per leaf) Included: *2 x Electromechanical motor *2 x Foundation box *1 x Main control board *1 x Waterproof box *2 x Remote control *2 x Manual release key *1 x Safety sensor
A double swing underground gate opener is a type of automated gate system designed for double swing gates, where the gate is split into two separate panels that meet in the middle.
The opener mechanism is installed underground, making it virtually invisible and aesthetically pleasing. This dual swing gate opener -VDS RG24 setup allows for a shorter swing radius for each gate leaf compared to a single-panel swing gate. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Double Swing Gates:
    These gates consist of two gate panels that swing open independently, usually meeting in the middle of the opening. This design is often used for wider driveways or when a single, large gate would be impractical or aesthetically undesirable. 
  • Underground Installation:
    The gate opener mechanism (including the motor and related components) is placed in a foundation box installed below ground level, typically at the hinge point of the gate. 
  • Aesthetics and Space:
    This type of opener offers a cleaner, more discreet look, as the mechanics are hidden from view. It also allows for a shorter swing radius for each gate leaf, which is beneficial in spaces with limited clearance. 
  • Operation:
    The opener receives a signal, usually from a remote control or other access control system, which activates the motor. The motor then rotates a lever or arm connected to the gate, causing it to swing open or closed. 
  • Dual Gate Compatibility:
    Double swing gate openers typically require two gate motors, one for each gate leaf. 
  • Safety Features:
    Many underground gate openers include safety features like limit switches to control the start/stop speed and travel of the gate, as well as manual release mechanisms for emergency situations.

More information about the swing gate openers: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SWING GATE MOTORS? 1- Articulated Arm for Swing Gate Operators How do automatic gates work with articulated swing gate motors? An articulated arm electric gate opener uses a two-part arm with an ‘elbow’ joint to connect the motor to the gate. This arm protrudes from the gate motor body, so there has to be room for the arm to move as the driveway gate opens and closes. This type of electric gate opener is easier to install than other types, thanks to the geometry of the arm system. They can be slightly more expensive than other gate motors, but they open and close automated gates quickly. Many homeowners like discrete gate automation systems, and articulated arm motors can be more obvious when installed. However, many have the control system built into one of the motors. These motors for automatic gates are mounted on the inside of gates so they’re not seen from the outside of closed gates. In the event of power failure or mechanical breakdown, articulated arm motors can normally be released manually from outside the gate with an optional cable release system. All articulated arm gate operators are electric gate motors that can be either 120VAC or 24VDC. All 24V and some 120V versions have obstacle detection. This means that the gates stop moving and some even reverse when they come into contact with an object during operation. Articulated arm gate automation systems can be the best choice where each electric gate opener is mounted on a large gate pier or pillar. 2- Ram And Linear Screw Automatic Swing Gate Openers Ram gate automation motors push and pull a piston mounted on the gate. Linear screw electric motors for gates use an electric motor to rotate the gate mounting along a threaded shaft. Both types of electric gate motors are slim and don’t need a lot of space to operate. However, this advantage does mean that they require careful alignment during installation. Manual release systems are only available from inside the driveway gate. A ram or linear screw type of motor for automatic gate control is attached to the gate at one end and the gate pillar or post at the other end. Ram motors can be hydraulic or driven by electric motors, but all require a separate control box. As with articulated arm motors, 120Vac, and 24Vdc, you can buy versions with obstacle detection for safer operation. Additionally, heavy-duty versions of each type of electric gate opener are available that will operate larger gates with leaves up to 7m long. These electric gate openers can be the best gate automation solution when price is important. Their simpler design and operation can make them a cost-effective solution compared to other types of electric gate motors. 3- Underground Swing Gate Operators Many Canadian homeowners choose underground gate automation motors because they are very discreet. This is because each underground gate opener is hidden under the hinge end of each swing gate. But how do automatic gates work when they’re opened and closed by hidden underground motors? During installation, a carefully positioned hole must be dug to house a foundation box for each underground gate opener. The housing for each underground electric gate motor needs sufficient drainage to prevent the motors from sitting in water, or they will fail. Underground electric gate motors don’t need a lot of space to operate and can be installed on the inside or back of gate pillars. They are usually only installed behind gate pillars when the gates must open more than 90 degrees, so that the post or pillar does not obstruct the gates. With the addition of a 180-degree gate opener, your gates can open much wider than 90 degrees. This is an optional chain drive system for driveways that bend around behind the gate pillars. If the gate only opened to 90 degrees, it could block part of the driveway. But a 180-degree gate opener system means that it can keep going past 90 degrees, so it doesn’t block the driveway. Normally, underground automation of gates is the most expensive solution, but they are almost invisible. It is possible for the most powerful underground gate opener to open and close a swing gate up to 5m long. Underground motors for automatic gates can be manually released from outside the gate. These types of gate motors can be either hydraulic or electromechanical. A separate control box is required, and 120VAC and 24VDC versions with obstacle detection are available. Underground gate opener installation is not simple, and it should always be installed by professional electric gate engineers. Underground gate automation could be the best style for you if you want a discreet, almost invisible electric gate motor installation and you have the budget for this more expensive option.

Safety Sensor S300

A gate opener safety sensor is a crucial component of automated gate systems designed to prevent accidents and damage by detecting obstructions in the gate's path.
These sensors, often photoelectric, use an infrared beam to monitor the area and trigger the gate to stop or reverse if something is blocking its movement. 
How it works:
  • Transmitter and Receiver:
    A safety sensor typically consists of a transmitter that emits an infrared light beam and a receiver that detects the beam.
  • Obstruction Detection:
    When an object, person, or vehicle interrupts the beam, the receiver signals the gate operator to stop or reverse the gate's movement.
  • Safety Feature:
    This mechanism prevents the gate from closing on anything or anyone, ensuring safety and preventing potential damage. 
Types of Safety Sensors:
  • Photoelectric Sensors (Photo Eyes):
    These are the most common type, using an infrared beam to detect obstructions. 
  • Safety Edges:
    These sensors are typically placed along the edge of the gate and trigger a stop or reverse when they encounter pressure. 
  • Induction Loops:
    These sensors are embedded in the ground and detect vehicles as they pass over them, triggering the gate to open or close. 
Importance:
  • Safety:
    The primary function is to prevent accidents and injuries by stopping or reversing the gate when an obstruction is present. 
  • Preventing Damage:
    By detecting obstructions, these sensors help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or anything else in its path. 
  • Compliance:
    Safety sensors are often required for automated gates to meet safety regulations and standards. 
Common Issues:
  • Misalignment:
    If the sensor is misaligned, the infrared beam may not reach the receiver, causing the gate to malfunction.
  • Obstructions:
    Debris, dirt, or other obstructions can interfere with the beam and trigger false alarms.
  • Sensor Failure:
    Like any electronic device, sensors can fail over time, requiring replacement.

A wave exit push button, also known as a touchless exit button or wave-to-exit switch, is a device that allows users to open a door without physically touching it.
It uses motion sensing technology, typically infrared or microwave, to detect a hand gesture and trigger the door to open. This provides a more hygienic and convenient way to exit a space, especially in environments where minimizing physical contact is desirable. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Touchless Activation:
    The core function is to activate a door release mechanism (like a magnetic lock or strike) with a simple wave of the hand. 
  • Motion Sensing:
    Wave exit buttons utilize sensors (infrared or microwave) to detect the movement of a hand or object in front of the device. 
  • Contactless Exit:
    This eliminates the need to physically push a button, reducing the spread of germs and providing a more hygienic exit solution. 
Common Applications:
  • Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories where hygiene is paramount. 
  • Food service and preparation areas: Restaurants and kitchens where cleanliness is crucial. 
  • High-traffic areas: Office buildings, schools, and public spaces where many people need to exit frequently. 
  • Disabled access: Provides a convenient and accessible way for individuals with mobility limitations to exit. 
Benefits:
  • Hygiene:
    Reduces the risk of spreading germs and viruses by eliminating the need to touch a button. 
  • Convenience:
    Allows for hands-free operation, making it easier to exit with arms full or for individuals with mobility limitations. 
  • Durability:
    Often more durable than traditional push buttons due to fewer moving parts. 
  • Accessibility:
    Provides a more inclusive exit solution for all individuals.

A gate opener safety sensor is a device designed to detect objects or people in the path of an automatic gate and prevent it from closing or hitting them, ensuring safety and preventing damage or injury.
These sensors can be photoelectric, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, or loop detectors and are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth gate operation. 
Types of Gate Opener Safety Sensors:
  • Photoelectric Sensors:
    These sensors use an infrared beam to detect objects. When the beam is broken by an object, the gate opener is signaled to stop or reverse. 
  • Pressure Sensors:
    These sensors are typically located along the edge of the gate and detect pressure when the gate comes into contact with an object. 
  • Magnetic Sensors:
    These sensors use a magnetic field to detect the presence of vehicles or objects near the gate. 
  • Loop Detectors:
    These sensors use a wire loop buried in the ground near the gate. When a vehicle or object passes over the loop, it triggers the gate to stop or reverse. 
How They Work:
  1. Detection: The sensor detects the presence of an object or person in the gate's path. 
  2. Signal: The sensor sends a signal to the gate operator. 
  3. Action: The gate operator responds by stopping, reversing, or remaining open, depending on the sensor type and programmed settings. 
Importance of Safety Sensors:
  • Prevent Accidents: They protect people and vehicles from being hit by the gate. 
  • Prevent Damage: They help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or property. 
  • Ensure Reliable Operation: They contribute to the smooth and safe operation of the gate.
