Description 

 

 

AXEL sets are suitable for prestige estate gates. The 
powerful  PWM  motors  have  internal  encoders  to 
monitor gate position. Stall sensors detect obstacles 
and  in  order  to  reverse  the  gate’s  direction.  Speed 
and pressure are adjusted in compliance with safety 
standards.    AXEL  sets  are  safe  and  green.  They  will 
provide long and reliable service if fitted and main-
tained according to the instructions in this manual. 

 

Remotes  use  a  ‘Rolling  Code’  format  that  changes 
the code sent every time it is used. It can’t be cop-
ied, keeping your home secure.  
A key operated manual release 
mechanism  allows  access  in 
case of a power outage.  

 

Though this equipment is com-
plex,  user  programming  has 
been  kept  simple.  Foresee 
have  a  planned  program  of 
simple hi technology new prod-
uct releases to keep your home 
secure and up to date.

Set contents 

 

 

AK-424

      The  standard  set  is  for  double  leaf 

boarded  gates,  and  heavy  domestic  gates.  The 
set  includes  two  underground  openers,  control 
panel,  two  remotes  and  a  photo-beam.    RIO-X 
control panel requires a 230Vac supply.  

 

AK-414

   This single leaf version is approved for 

gates  leaves  up  to  2.8m  when  installed  with  an 
electric lock (not included) or pedestrian gates. 

 

AL-424

   This is the AXEL low power set. The RIO-

XL  control  panel  is  powered  by  an  ELV  source 
mounted remotely, often in the house or garage. 
RIO-XL  includes  1.1Ahr  batteries.  Ideal  for  sites 
where  a  long  mains  cable  would  be  difficult  or 
expensive to run. The charging cable can also be 
used for an intercom or other controls.  

 

All  sets  include  two  remotes  and  a  photobeam 
set.  Mains  powered  sets  can  be  fitted  with  the 
battery  backup  set  for  up  to  10  hours  off  grid. 
Without  batteries,  gates  will  attempt  to  close 
when power is restored.  

 

Set  contents  are  a  starting  point.  Additional 
devices  may  be  added.  Further  safety  devices 
may be required. Mains isolator is not included
