Nice Thor TH1500 Sliding Gate Kit, up to 1500 kg

Overview

The Nice Thor TH1500 kit automates a heavy home sliding gate of up to 1500 kg and up to 12 m long, so it opens and closes from a remote. The TH1500 gearmotor combines a 230 V AC motor, a pinion and a control unit with a built-in multi-code radio receiver, and has a manual release so the gate can be moved by hand during a power cut. The kit adds two remotes, a pair of slim photocells and a flashing light.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a residential sliding gate weighing up to 1500 kg with a leaf up to 12 m; check the gate against both limits before ordering.
• It is rated for 15 cycles per hour with a 6 m leaf, so it suits a home gate rather than a busy business entrance.
• At 0.16 m/s it is a steady rather than fast gearmotor.
• The gearmotor is IP44 rated and works from -20 to 50 °C, so it is made for fitting beside the gate outdoors.

Key features

• 230 V AC, 50 Hz motor drawing 350 W, with a 500 W peak.
• 30 Nm (800 N) maximum torque and 12 Nm (360 N) nominal torque for moving a heavy gate.
• Control unit with built-in multi-code radio receiver, so the two INTI2 two-channel 433.92 MHz remotes work straight away once programmed.
• Electromechanical limit switch, so the gate stops in the right place at each end of its travel.
• Manual release lets you move the gate by hand during a power cut.
• EPS slim photocell pair stops the gate when something crosses the beam.
• Gearmotor 335 x 203 x 275 mm and 11.5 kg, IP44, -20 to 50 °C.

What else you need

• A rack for the full length of the gate leaf; the rack is not included.
• A 230 V AC, 50 Hz mains supply at the gate.
• Any replacement flashing light must be a mains-voltage model, as the control unit’s flashing light output runs at mains voltage with a maximum of 40 W. Photocells run from the 24 V AC service output.

Installation

A gate automation installer should fit it. The job involves fixing the gearmotor on a base beside the gate, bringing the 230 V AC supply to it, fitting the rack along the gate leaf, setting the limit switch, wiring the photocells and the flashing light to the control unit, and programming the remotes into the receiver.

Before you buy

• The rack is not included: order a rack for the full length of the gate leaf.
• Check the gate weight and length against the limits in the specifications.
• The flashing light output of this control unit runs at mains voltage (maximum 40 W), so any replacement light must be a mains-voltage model; photocells run from the 24 V AC service output.
• The model of the flashing light in the kit is confirmed when you order. Kit contents are as supplied and are confirmed when you order.
