Description
The CAME Amico-S24 Kit is designed to provide a simple yet effective automation solution for single swing gates. Built around 24 V D.C. motor technology, it offers smooth operation, improved safety response, and consistent performance for everyday use.
Each component in the kit plays an important role in delivering a complete and functional automation system.
1 × 24 V Motor
The 24 V D.C. motor is the core mechanical component of the Amico-S24 system, responsible for driving the gate open and closed. Designed for gates up to 1.8 metres in length, it provides reliable power while maintaining controlled movement.
The use of 24 V technology allows for soft start and soft stop functionality, which reduces strain on the gate structure and improves overall longevity. This gradual movement also enhances safety by allowing the system to respond more effectively to resistance or obstructions.
The motor is typically fitted above ground and connected to the gate via an articulated arm, making it suitable for a wide range of installations. This design is particularly beneficial where underground systems are not practical, offering easier installation and maintenance.
Built for regular daily use, the motor delivers a balance of efficiency, durability, and quiet operation, making it well suited to domestic driveways and smaller commercial entrances.
1 × Control Panel
The control panel acts as the central operating unit for the entire system. It manages all electrical and operational aspects of the gate, coordinating the motor, safety devices, and remote inputs.
Within the control panel, key settings such as opening and closing cycles, timing, and safety responses are controlled. It ensures that the gate operates smoothly and consistently, while also responding appropriately to signals from photocells or remote transmitters.
The control panel also provides the connection point for optional accessories. While intercom systems, keypads, and other advanced access devices are not included in the standard kit, they can be integrated into the system if required, allowing for future upgrades.
1 × Frequency Card (433.92 MHz)
The frequency card enables secure wireless communication between the gate system and the remote controls. Operating at 433.92 MHz, it allows the control panel to receive and interpret signals from authorised transmitters.
This component ensures that only programmed remotes can operate the gate, preventing interference or accidental activation from nearby devices. It also allows additional remotes to be added to the system, providing flexibility for multiple users.
The frequency card is essential for the wireless functionality of the system and forms a key part of its security and reliability.
1 × Pair of Safety Photocells
The included safety photocells provide essential protection during gate operation. Positioned on either side of the gate opening, they create an invisible infrared beam that monitors the area.
If the beam is interrupted while the gate is moving, the system immediately stops or reverses direction. This helps prevent collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or animals, significantly improving safety.
Photocells are especially important in residential settings, where unpredictable movement may occur. Their inclusion ensures the Amico-S24 system meets modern safety expectations and provides peace of mind for everyday use.
2 × Radio Remotes (433.92 MHz)
The two supplied radio remotes allow convenient wireless control of the gate system. Using coded signals at 433.92 MHz, they communicate directly with the control panel via the frequency card.
These remotes allow users to open and close the gate without leaving their vehicle, offering comfort and convenience in all weather conditions. They are compact, easy to use, and suitable for daily operation.
Additional remotes can be programmed into the system if required, making it ideal for households or small businesses with multiple users.
1 × Antenna
The antenna improves the range and reliability of the remote control system. Installed near the control panel, it enhances signal reception and reduces the risk of interference.
This ensures that commands from the remotes are received consistently, even at greater distances or in areas where signal strength may otherwise be reduced. A reliable connection between the remote and control system is essential for smooth and responsive gate operation.
Installation and Practical Benefits
The Amico-S24 system is designed for straightforward installation, making it suitable for both professional installers and experienced DIY users. As an above-ground system, it avoids the need for excavation, reducing installation time and complexity.
The articulated arm design allows for flexible mounting, accommodating various gate types and hinge positions. This makes it a versatile solution for different property layouts.
The 24 V motor technology ensures quieter operation compared to higher voltage systems, making it particularly suitable for residential environments where noise levels are a consideration.
Expandability and Optional Accessories
While the Amico-S24 kit includes all essential automation components, it does not include additional access control systems such as:
- Intercoms
- Keypads
- GSM dial-to-open systems
- Vehicle loop detectors
- Additional safety devices
However, the system is fully compatible with a wide range of accessories, allowing it to be upgraded as needed. For further details or pricing on additional equipment, customers can contact the office on 01233 820240.
This flexibility ensures that the system can adapt to changing requirements over time.
