BFT Virgo SMART BT A20 Wing Gate Operator User Manual

Kupu Whakataki

The BFT Virgo SMART BT A20 electromechanical gate operators are designed for swing gates with a leaf weight up to 200 kg and a length up to 2 m. They are intended for installation on wide gate posts, with an installation dimension from the hinge axis to the post edge inside the property of up to 23.5 cm. These operators feature a 24V DC motor and an internal self-locking gearbox, meaning the mechanism locks after closing the gate, preventing manual opening. Electromechanical switches and mechanical limit stops built into the opening and closing drives allow for precise adjustment of the wing's end positions, eliminating the need for ground stops. This significantly reduces installation time. The frequency of use for these operators is up to 60 cycles per day.

• Press any button on the remote control to activate the gate.
• A single press will initiate the opening or closing cycle.
• Pressing the button again during operation will stop the gate.
• Mā te pēhi tuatoru ka hurihia te ahunga o te kēti.

Tuku A-ringa:

Ina he mana outage or malfunction, the gate can be manually opened using the personalized key.

1. Locate the manual release mechanism on the gate operator.
2. Insert the personalized key into the lock.
3. Turn the key to disengage the motor, allowing the gate to be moved by hand.
4. To re-engage, reverse the process and ensure the mechanism locks securely.

Te tiaki

Mā te tiaki auau ka roa te ora me te mahi pono o tō kai whakatuwhera keti.

• Marama: Check the gate's mechanical components for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Ensure the gate moves freely without the operator engaged.
• Ia hauwhā: Clean the photocell lenses to ensure proper obstacle detection. Inspect all electrical connections for corrosion or looseness.
• Ia tau: Have a qualified technician inspect the entire system, including motor, gearbox, and control unit, for optimal performance and safety.
• Keep the area around the gate and operators clear of debris.
