Every component included in the kit serves a specific purpose within the system, working together to provide reliable movement, safe operation, and simple day-to-day control.

With all essential components included and the flexibility to add accessories later, the Fast-P24 kit is an excellent choice for domestic driveways and private properties seeking dependable, future-proof gate automation.

1 × 24 V Motor with Control Board

This primary motor unit combines a 24-volt D.C. swing gate motor with an integrated control board, forming the operational core of the system. The motor provides the mechanical force required to open and close one gate leaf, while the onboard electronics manage movement logic, safety responses, and communication with accessories.

The use of 24 V D.C. technology offers several advantages in residential environments. It allows smoother acceleration and deceleration compared to traditional mains-powered motors, reducing stress on the gate structure and hinges. This controlled movement also improves safety, as the system can better detect resistance or obstructions during operation.

Housing the control electronics directly with the motor simplifies wiring and installation, reducing the need for multiple external enclosures. It also ensures reliable communication between motor and system logic, resulting in consistent, predictable gate behaviour.

1 × 24 V Motor

The second motor mirrors the function of the primary unit, driving the opposite gate leaf. Together, the two motors work in synchronisation to ensure both leaves open and close smoothly and evenly. The system is designed to manage timing and coordination between the two motors, preventing twisting or uneven strain on the gates.

These articulated motors are typically mounted to the gate posts and connected to the gate leaves via jointed arms. This design makes them suitable for a wide range of gate styles and hinge positions, including installations where gate posts are deep or offset. The motor casing is built for outdoor use, providing protection against weather exposure while maintaining reliable operation.

1 × Control Panel

The control panel acts as the central management unit for the entire automation system. It processes inputs from remote controls, safety devices, and other connected accessories, translating them into precise motor commands.

Within the control panel, key operational parameters are managed, including opening and closing cycles, motor synchronisation, safety responses, and accessory integration. The panel allows installers to configure the system to suit the specific gate setup, ensuring optimal performance and safe operation.

The control panel also serves as the connection point for optional accessories such as keypads, intercoms, vehicle detectors, or additional safety devices. While these accessories are not included in the standard kit, the system is designed to accommodate them, allowing the automation setup to grow with your needs.

1 × Frequency Card (433.92 MHz)

The frequency card enables wireless communication between the control system and the radio remote controls. Operating at 433.92 MHz, it ensures that commands sent from the remotes are recognised and securely interpreted by the control panel.

This component is essential for remote operation, as it establishes the coding protocol used to authenticate authorised transmitters. By using a dedicated frequency card, the system prevents interference from other nearby radio devices and reduces the risk of unintended gate activation.

Once installed, the frequency card allows additional compatible remotes to be programmed into the system, offering flexibility for households with multiple users.

1 × Pair of Safety Photocells

Safety photocells are a critical part of any automated gate system, and the Fast-P24 kit includes a matched pair as standard. These devices create an invisible infrared beam across the gate opening, continuously monitoring for obstacles.

If the beam is broken while the gates are moving, the system responds immediately by stopping or reversing the motion, depending on the configuration. This helps prevent collisions with vehicles, people, pets, or other objects and significantly reduces the risk of injury or damage.

Photocells are particularly important in domestic settings, where gates may be used by children or visitors unfamiliar with automated systems. Their inclusion ensures the Fast-P24 setup meets modern safety expectations and provides peace of mind during everyday use.

2 × Radio Remotes (433.92 MHz)

The two included radio remotes provide convenient wireless control of the gate system. Compact and easy to carry, they allow users to open or close the gates from a distance, typically from inside a vehicle or near the property entrance.

Each remote transmits a coded signal at 433.92 MHz to the control panel via the frequency card. This secure communication ensures reliable operation while preventing unauthorised access. The remotes can be programmed for different functions, such as full opening, partial opening, or pedestrian access, depending on system configuration.

Additional remotes can be added later, making the system adaptable for families, shared driveways, or multi-user properties.

1 × Antenna

The antenna enhances the reception range and reliability of the remote control system. Installed near the control panel, it ensures that radio signals from the remotes are received clearly, even at greater distances or in environments with potential signal interference.

By improving signal strength and consistency, the antenna helps prevent missed commands and ensures smooth, responsive gate operation. This is particularly useful on properties with longer driveways or where the control panel is installed inside a garage or enclosure.

Why the CAME Fast-P24 Kit Is an Excellent Choice

The Fast-P24 kit is designed for homeowners who want a dependable, modern automation system without the complexity of underground installation. Its 24-volt motors provide smooth, quiet operation and enhanced safety characteristics, making it ideal for residential use.

The above-ground articulated design allows for flexible installation on a wide variety of gate types, while the integrated control electronics simplify setup and maintenance. Safety photocells and controlled motor movement help protect users and property, while wireless remotes deliver everyday convenience.

Equally important, the system is expandable. Although intercoms and advanced access devices are not included as standard, the control panel supports a wide range of optional accessories, allowing the automation system to evolve over time.
