12 VOLT ELECTRIC GATE OPERATOR - RESIDENTIAL / COMMERCIAL - 6.0 METRE LEAF
Manufactured by TAU in Italy the ARM290BI is a high quality, powerful 12 volt (actually an 18 volt motor but labeled 12 volt so as not to cause confusion) swing gate electro mechanical operator. This swing gate motor is a perfect example of a commercial operator designed to be also acceptable to high end residential installations. The ARM290BI uses minimum side room and is suitable for gates up to 6.0 metres wide. The ARM290BI is a self locking operator with key operated manual override but one of the main benefits of the low voltage motor is the ability to use battery backup meaning you may never have to use the manual override key. The ARM290BI is a perfect example of you get what you pay for in that it is slightly more expensive than some of it's similar rated cousins but then it boasts a number of features not found on the less expensive models and the build quality is obvious. Internally the ARM290BI is all metal quality build and has a built in optical encoder.
WHAT GOES INTO THE ARM
It is possible to use a variety of control boards to control the ARM290BI but the to take advantage of the optical encoder technology the preferred board is the LOGICTAUD749 which can be used as a one or two motor controller. The LOGICTAUD749 has inputs for the encoder, slow down mode, all your safety input features and battery backup is available. The LOGICTAUD749 like all TAU product is robust and tough whilst simple to use. Complete the TAU picture with TAU remote controls that work with the built in receiver card. Keep the quality throughout.
