D5-Evo overview

The D5-Evo is driven by a high torque 12V DC motor which can
effortlessly shift gates weighing up to 500kg – perfect for domestic and
light industrial use. The gearbox moulded from a high-tech engineering
polymer not only looks good, but is corrosion-free and guarantees that
even if you live on the coast, your D5-Evo will just keep on going. For
your security, the internal gearset has a self-locking action so forced
entry is no longer an option for would-be burglars. An optional theft-
resistant cage makes intruders' lives even more difficult. For your
safety, our revolutionary limit switch mechanism monitors the speed
and location of your gate for accurate position control and sensitive
anti-crushing protection.
The D5-Evo is packed with features and functions, all easily accessible
from a user-friendly LCD controller. Multiple Modes of Operation, alarm
functions, an onboard multichannel receiver, ChronoGuard full 7 day
timer – you name it, the D5-Evo's got it. The integral 12V 7 Ah battery
(charged by an internal 220V charger) comes with full battery back-up
and advanced lightning protection so you can always get in – even when
the power is out. It is important to note that the battery is the primary
power source of the D5-Evo
You can increase the capacity of the battery with an externally mounted
battery to give longer power failure autonomy.
Instead of the 220V charger, you can have a low voltage charger
mounted inside the D5-Evo with a plug-in transformer plugged into the
nearest plug point inside the house / building. This saves having to run
an electrically compliant 220-240V supply to the D5-Evo.
Finally you can use a solar panel to charge the battery. See section 6.2
(Solar power supply), for more details about solar charging).
