Nice M-Fab MFAB3000 Underground Swing Gate Kit, Two Leaves up to 3 m

Overview

The Nice M-Fab kit (MFAB3000) automates a double swing gate with leaves up to 3 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 fast MFAB3000 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 3 m where the gearmotors are to be hidden below ground.
• At 1.14 rpm it is the fast underground option; it is rated for 30 cycles per hour at the standard 110 degree opening, halved for openings up to 180 degrees.
• Each gearmotor is IP67 rated, so it is made for the wet conditions of a foundation box in the ground.
• The MEA3 lever key release is intended for surfaces such as sand or earth.
• Choose this kit if you will add your own photocells and flashing light.

Key features

• Two fast, non-reversible, grease-lubricated 230 V AC underground electromechanical gearmotors, each drawing 1.2 A and 250 W.
• 300 Nm of torque at 1.14 rpm.
• Each gearmotor is supplied with a connecting lever and a mechanical stop in closing; the foundation box carries the mechanical stop in opening.
• MEA3 lever key release 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 390 x 322 x 194.5 mm and 11 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 Hz mains supply at the gate.
• 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, 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.
• The MEA3 lever key release is intended for installation on surfaces such as sand or earth.
• Standard opening is 110 degrees; the rated working cycle halves for openings up to 180 degrees.
• 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.
