Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Gemini 220V AC different from DC models?

The Gemini 220V AC motor runs directly off mains power without a DC converter or battery. This simplifies the installation and reduces cost. However, it means the gate will not operate during a power failure unless a UPS or generator is connected.

Is the Gemini 220V AC suitable for double swing gates?

Yes. Two Gemini 220V AC motors can be installed as a master and slave pair on a double-leaf swing gate. A time delay ensures the gates open and close in the correct sequence to prevent collision.

Can the Gemini 220V AC be connected to an intercom?

Yes, the Gemini 220V AC has a trigger input terminal that accepts signals from intercoms, keypads, and other access control devices, making it compatible with residential intercom systems.

Does the Gemini 220V AC work with safety beams?

Yes. The motor has a dedicated safety beam input. When infrared safety beams are connected and triggered, the gate stops closing and reverses. Safety beams are recommended for all swing gate installations.

How do I program a Nova or Gemini remote to the motor?

Programming is done via the receiver module. Press the learn button, then press the desired button on your transmitter. The motor confirms successful learning with a beep or relay click. Multiple remotes can be stored.

What gate weight does the Gemini 220V AC support?

The Gemini 220V AC is designed for light to medium swing gates. Maximum gate weight and leaf length varies by model. Check the technical specifications in the manual for the specific capacity of your unit.
