Nice L-Fab LFAB4000 Underground Swing Gate Kit, Two Leaves up to 4 m

Overview

The Nice L-Fab kit (LFAB4000) automates a double swing gate with leaves up to 4 m while keeping the motors out of sight, buried in foundation boxes under the gate. It suits a home or business entrance where the look of the gate matters and surface-mounted arms are not wanted. The kit has two LFAB4000 230 V AC underground gearmotors with foundation boxes and releases, driven by an MC800 control unit with a plug-in two-way radio receiver, plus two remotes. Photocells and a flashing light are not included.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a double-leaf swing gate with each leaf up to 4 m where the gearmotors are to be hidden below ground.
• Standard opening is 110 degrees; wider opening, up to 360 degrees on leaves up to 3.5 m, needs the BMA1 accessory, and with openings up to 180 degrees the rated working cycle halves.
• It is rated for 20 cycles per hour at the standard opening, which suits a home or small business gate rather than one in constant use.
• Each gearmotor is IP67 rated, so it is made for the wet conditions of a foundation box in the ground.
• Choose this kit if you will add your own photocells and flashing light.

Key features

• Two non-reversible 230 V AC underground electromechanical gearmotors with a mechanical limit switch in closing, each drawing 1.5 A and 340 W.
• 500 Nm of torque at 0.8 rpm for moving long leaves.
• Foundation box (LFABBOX4) with the mechanical stop in opening and the leaf attachment lever, supplied for each leaf.
• BMA3 release with lever key for each leaf, so the gate can be freed and moved by hand.
• MC800 control unit drives both motors, with the OXIBD plug-in bidirectional receiver for two-way remotes.
• Two INTI2B two-channel 433.92 MHz remotes in blue.
• Each gearmotor is 400 x 325 x 152 mm and 14.4 kg, IP67, -20 to 50 °C.

What else you need

• A pair of photocells: the control unit works with EPS, EPM and EPL photocells, their BlueBUS versions EPSB, EPMB and EPLB, the EPMOR and EPMORB reflective photocells and the EPMOW wireless photocell.
• A flashing light: with the MC800, use the ELAC mains-voltage flashing light.
• A 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz mains supply at the gate.
• Only if you want the leaves to open wider than 110 degrees: the BMA1 accessory, for openings up to 360 degrees on leaves up to 3.5 m.
• The control unit also works with OXILR receivers, ERA INTI, ERA ONE / MYGO, MYGOBD and ERA ONE LR remotes and F210, FT210 and F210B safety devices.

Installation

A gate automation installer should fit it. The job involves excavating under each hinge, setting a foundation box in the ground, fitting the gearmotor in the box and connecting the leaf to the attachment lever, mounting the MC800 control unit and bringing the 230 V AC supply to it, wiring both motors, the photocells and the flashing light, and programming the remotes into the OXIBD receiver.

Before you buy

• Photocells and a flashing light are not included; add a pair of photocells and, with the MC800, the ELAC mains-voltage flashing light.
• Standard opening is 110 degrees; wider opening, up to 360 degrees on leaves up to 3.5 m, needs the BMA1 accessory, and with openings up to 180 degrees the rated working cycle halves.
• Confirm the foundation box finish (painted or stainless steel) when ordering. Kit contents are as supplied and are confirmed when you order.
• The OXIBD radio receiver is not compatible with the O-box functions of the Opera system.
