Step 2

You are provided with screw 3 holes to secure the EGA control board to the main control box (indicated by the yellow arrows). If you only have 2 screws from your D1 control board, use 1 screw to secure the top section of the control board and the other screw in either of the bottom 2 screw holes.

DACE Ultima HT18

The DACE Ultima HT series is the new generation of the old Condo gate motor. The Ultima HT is designed for residential & light commercial applications and suits gates up to 15mtrs long.

With state of the art technology and a strong, rugged construction it will stand up to the most extreme conditions.

The DACE Ultima HT features pedestrian mode, auto close and many other exciting features.

This kit is available as a 12v setup in Solar or DC battery operated which is perfect through those times of power outages.

The solar kit is the perfect solution if you don't have 240v power around your gate way area but still want the luxury and security of having an automatic gate opener on your front gate.

Now if its electric you're looking for, then there is no need for mains (240V) power at the gate site as the electric kit includes a transformer and can be placed up to 50mtrs away from the driveway gate (dependant on cable size). This power supply plugs into your 240v outlet which you then run low voltage cable from and directly into the gate opener control box.

Running low Voltage wire is safe and can be even stapled along the fence line or run through conduit 100mm under the ground. Unlike 600mm under ground for 240V supply to your front gate.

Checking Pull Force Running Force
gate pull force

The driveway gate pull and running forces should be measured before purchasing or installing any gate opener. Should the measured forces exceed those in the table above for the Ultima units, then the motor must not be installed. It may be possible to reduce these forces by carrying out maintenance on the gate rail but if not, then the motor must not be installed.

These forces can be measured using a fishing or luggage scale (see figure above).

Pull Force: place the gate in the fully open/closed position and pull on the scale until the gate starts moving. The value showing on the scale at the point that the gate starts moving is the Pull Force kgf. This should be checked in both directions.

Running Force: this is the maximum value read while the gate is moving before coming to the fully open position.

Checking the Effective Gate weight if on a Gradient
gate gradient

Gradient = A (0.3m) / B (4m)

Effective Gate Weight
When is a 200kg gate really 800kgs - Working out the effective gate weight

Effective Gate Weight = 40 x gradient + 1 x actual gate weight
Eg. A driveway, that falls 300mm over 4m (.300/4 = .075 gradient) has an effective weight of 800kgs
Effective Gate Weight = 40 x .075 + 1 x 200
Therefore, the example above wouldn't suit either of these motors

Other Examples:

80kg actual gate weight - Fall 100mm over 4m = 160kg effective gate weight

80kg actual gate weight - Fall 200mm over 5m = 208kg effective gate weight

150kg actual gate weight - Fall 350mm over 6m = 266kg effective gate weight

High Speed Motor
The Ultima RT25 is one of the fastest low voltage automatic gate motors available at 25 metres per minute it will open a 4 metre gate in 10 seconds. The opening and closing speeds as well as the ramp up/ramp down are independently adjustable.

The Ultima is such a refined gate motor that it will allow you to control the speed of the gate. Have your gate open at max speed but close slower just in case a loved one is in the way.
