Proteco Ace 4 TA f.m - Single Swing Gate Kit

Key Features

• Electromechanical slimline ram with moving tow-eye for swing gates up to 2.5 m.
• Powerful and noiseless motor.
• Strong aluminium pipe with bronze gearing system and key-lock for manual operation.
• FM version with adjustable mechanical limit stop for closing position which avoids the necessity to have closing ground stops, however, stops are still required on the opening phase.
• Quick and simple to install, it can easily fit on almost any kind of swing gate.
• Power supply 230V and 24V, for intensive use and emergency opening by battery pack in case of power-failure.
• Inward & Outward opening (hinge placement dependent)
• Wider opening angles possible up to 110° depending on the gate/hinge configuration

Limited Warranty - 3 years on motors, 1 year on other components. See T&C's for more info. 

Kit Suitability 

The Proteco Kit Ace has linear ram (straight arm) motors which mount on brackets (highlighted in yellow below) attached to the pillars.

For optimum leverage and mechanical advantage the motors should be mounted where the A & B measurements are equal as displayed in the table below. 

Recommended Installation (90° opening)

A + B = C (motor Stroke)

If the ideal scenario of A & B is not achievable, refer to the below table to determine bracket position. (mm)

The D dimension only comes into play when the gate is side hung. 

ACE 4TA max D measurement = 150mm   

Before purchasing this kit it is important to note the width of your post/pillar and hinge position.

Your post/pillar must be wide enough to fix the bracket so the A & B measurements can be achieved for the motor you require. 

Installation Advice

When fitting the gate brackets to a wooden gate, we recommend that you insert stainless steel tubing (just large enough to sleeve the mounting bolt threads and 1mm shorter than the thickness of the wood) through the gate mounting holes. This will prevent over-tightening of the mounting bolts and also avoid the repetitive push/pull on the mounting bolts from damaging the wood - See the instruction manual under the download section on this page for more information. 

Gate Stops 

These electric gate motors require a physical stop at the end of the opening cycle. Gate Stops provide resistance to the motors so they know they've reached either the open position. Without gate stops the motors will over extend during their operation and the mechanism will eventually fail. When assessing your gate-way it is important to check you can install physical stops in the opening positions. Common reason's why gate stops cannot be installed are a sloping driveway or the gate is raised significanlty off the ground. If you cannot install something to provide resistance at the end of the motors cycle then you will require a specialised ram with in-built mechanical stops.
