Description
The CAME Fast-S24 Kit has been developed to provide a dependable and accessible automation solution for medium-sized single swing gates. Designed around low-voltage motor technology and user-friendly installation principles, it balances performance, safety, and convenience in one streamlined package.
Each component included in the kit contributes to a fully functional and secure automation system.
- Controlled 24 V motor technology
- Reliable safety integration
- Wireless convenience
- Straightforward installation
- Expandable functionality
It is particularly suited to medium-sized single swing gates where underground systems are not required but professional-grade performance is still expected.
1 × 24 V Motor with Integrated Control Board
At the heart of the Fast-S24 kit is the 24 V D.C. articulated motor, which provides the mechanical force necessary to open and close the gate smoothly. This motor is specifically designed for swing gates up to 2.3 metres in length and is suitable for typical residential and light commercial installations.
The 24-volt D.C. technology offers significant advantages over traditional mains-powered motors. It enables controlled acceleration and deceleration, reducing mechanical strain on the gate hinges and structure. This soft-start and soft-stop functionality improves longevity while also enhancing safety.
The integrated control board housed within the motor unit simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity. By combining mechanical and electronic components into a single housing, the system ensures efficient communication between the motor and its control logic. This integrated design improves reliability, reduces installation time, and minimises external control enclosures.
The articulated arm mechanism makes this system particularly versatile. It accommodates a wide range of hinge positions and gate post configurations, including deeper or offset mounting situations.
1 × Frequency Card (433.92 MHz)
The frequency card enables wireless communication between the automation system and the radio remote transmitters. Operating at 433.92 MHz, it allows the control board to recognise and decode signals sent from authorised remotes.
This component plays a critical role in system security and reliability. It ensures that only programmed transmitters can activate the gate, preventing interference from unrelated radio devices. The card establishes the communication protocol used by the automation system and supports the addition of extra remotes if required.
Without the frequency card, remote control functionality would not be possible. Its inclusion ensures seamless pairing and consistent signal interpretation.
1 × Pair of Safety Photocells
Safety photocells are essential in modern automated gate systems. The Fast-S24 kit includes a matched pair as standard, providing protection for people, vehicles, and property.
The photocells create an invisible infrared beam across the gate opening. If this beam is interrupted while the gate is moving, the control system immediately stops or reverses motion. This reduces the risk of collision and enhances compliance with safety expectations in both residential and commercial environments.
The inclusion of photocells is particularly important for driveways where children, pets, or visitors may be present. By continuously monitoring the gate’s operating area, the system ensures that automation does not compromise safety.
2 × Radio Remotes (433.92 MHz)
The kit includes two handheld radio remote controls, allowing convenient wireless access to the gate system. These remotes transmit coded signals at 433.92 MHz, which are received and authenticated by the frequency card and control board.
Compact and easy to use, the remotes allow the gate to be opened or closed from inside a vehicle or from a distance. This enhances daily convenience, particularly during adverse weather or when frequent access is required.
Each remote can be programmed for specific functions depending on system configuration. Additional remotes can also be added later, making the system adaptable for households or business premises with multiple users.
1 × Antenna
The antenna improves the range and reliability of remote communication. Installed near the motor/control unit, it enhances signal reception and reduces the likelihood of interference or missed commands.
This is particularly beneficial in installations where the control unit may be positioned within a cabinet, wall, or enclosure. By strengthening wireless reception, the antenna ensures smooth, responsive gate activation from a practical distance.
Reliable communication between remote and system is essential for user confidence and day-to-day ease of operation.
System Performance and Installation Advantages
The Fast-S24 system is designed for straightforward above-ground installation. Unlike underground operators, it does not require foundation excavation or drainage preparation. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects or locations where underground systems are impractical.
The articulated arm design allows flexible mounting and is well suited to a wide range of gate styles, including timber, aluminium, and steel constructions. The 24 V motor ensures quieter operation and improved obstacle detection sensitivity compared to higher voltage alternatives.
Because the control electronics are integrated into the motor unit, installation is streamlined and servicing is simplified. This reduces setup time while maintaining professional-grade performance.
Expandability and Accessory Options
While the Fast-S24 kit includes all core automation components, it does not include optional access devices such as:
- Intercom systems
- Keypad entry panels
- GSM dial-to-open modules
- Vehicle loop detectors
- Additional safety edges
However, the system is designed to integrate with a wide range of compatible accessories. If required, additional components can be added to enhance security, convenience, or access control functionality.
This flexibility makes the Fast-S24 suitable for evolving property needs, whether for a domestic driveway or light commercial entrance.
Summary
The CAME Fast-S24 Swing Gate Automation Kit is a complete and dependable solution for automating a single swing gate up to 2.3 metres. Built around 24 V D.C. articulated motor technology, it delivers smooth, controlled movement while maintaining high safety standards.
With integrated control electronics, included safety photocells, secure remote access, and expandable accessory compatibility, the Fast-S24 provides a practical and future-ready automation system suitable for residential and light commercial installations.
