2. General description
The IT24, Beninca is an underground swing gate operator designed for domestic and light-
industrial applications where the operator is hidden from view. It is also useful in applications
where the gate swings hard up against its side wall leaving absolutely no space to mount a
traditional above-the-ground unit.
The operator consists of a high-torque 24V DC motor coupled to a double-stage worm reduction
gearbox housed inside a steel foundation box. The assembly is mounted flush with the ground, up
against the gate support pillar, directly under the gate hinges. Its output drive arm extends
upwards from the operator linking with a drive shoe that is welded to the underside of the gate.
The drive arm, drive shoe and operator cover plate are the only parts that are visible. The gate is
supported by the operator with the bottom gate hinge removed. Only the top hinge is left to
stabilize the top of the gate.
To ensure rigid closing of the gate in the closed position, end-of-travel mechanical endstops must
be installed. In addition, if the gate leaf is wider than 2.5m, an electric lock must be fitted, and on
any width if maximum security is required.
The internal mechanical limit switches can be used to stop the gates in the open position, the
alternative being mechanical endstops.
A Manual Override with key release is incorporated into the drive arm assembly.
The operators are battery driven via the CP77/24V dual motor controller, which supports a host of
useful features in addition to providing smooth acceleration of the motors on start-up, safe
protection against crushing and critical power failure protection.
