The VDS RG110 is an underground dual swing gate opener manufactured by VDS Automation, an Italian company. It’s designed to automate two-leaf swing gates, with the key characteristic being its “underground” or “in-ground” installation. This means the motor and operating mechanism are installed below ground, making them invisible and preserving the aesthetic of your gate.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and specifications:

Key Features:

• Underground Installation: This is its defining feature, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing automation solution by hiding the operating mechanism in a foundation box beneath the gate.
• Electromechanical Motor: It uses an electric motor and gear-driven mechanism for operation, eliminating concerns about hydraulic leaks.
• Dual Swing Configuration: Specifically designed for gates with two leaves that swing open from a central point.
• Durability: Constructed with robust materials like die-cast aluminum (for the motor) and corrosion-proof steel (for the foundation box), often with special treatments for outdoor conditions. Mechanical parts are lubricated with lithium grease for corrosion resistance.
• Manual Release: Includes a mechanical release lever for emergency operation, which can typically be accessed from inside or outside the gate.
• Safety Features: Often includes an anti-crushing device (EN 12453 compliant) and speed slowdown at the beginning and end of the opening/closing cycle. Some models also feature built-in limit switches for precise control.
• Quiet Operation: Designed for relatively silent operation.
• Optional Features: Can be equipped with a battery backup kit for operation during power outages, and is compatible with various safety and control accessories like remote controls, keypads, and safety sensors.

Typical Specifications (may vary slightly depending on the specific model/version):

• Gate Type: Dual swing gates
• Installation: Underground / In-ground
• Maximum Leaf Weight: Often up to 500 kg (per leaf)
• Maximum Leaf Length: Up to 3.5 meters (per leaf)
• Power Supply: Available in both 230Vac and 24Vdc versions. The 24Vdc version often offers more intensive use.
• Opening Angle: Typically 90°, with some models offering up to 110° or even 360° with optional accessories.
• Opening Time: Around 15-16 seconds for a 90° opening.
• Protection Degree: High degree of protection against dust and water (e.g., IP67).
• Environmental Conditions: Operates in a wide range of temperatures (e.g., -20°C to +55°C).

The VDS RG110 is generally considered a reliable and robust solution for automating residential and commercial swing gates, particularly when a discreet appearance is desired.
