Gate Automation Control Unit BFT ALENA SW2 230V D113811 00004 OEM

The BFT ALENA SW2 230V control unit is a centralized electronic board designed to manage motorized gate operators in residential and light commercial settings. It provides the basic functions required for safe and reliable gate automation: control of opening and closing commands, connection to safety devices such as photocells and safety edges, and integration with remote controls and wired inputs. The unit runs on 230V mains power and is intended for installers and technicians who need a compact, OEM control solution compatible with BFT ALENA systems.

Advantages

The control unit offers straightforward integration with standard gate motors and safety accessories, allowing convenient management of automation logic and safety interlocks. Its design emphasizes compatibility with common remote-control receivers and wired safety inputs, enabling centralized control without the need for additional complex equipment. The 230V power supply removes the need for separate low-voltage transformers in many installations, simplifying wiring for typical residential and light commercial gates.

Suitable for

• Residential swing or sliding gate automation systems operating on 230V
• Light commercial gates where centralized control and safety inputs are required
• Retrofit projects replacing or upgrading existing BFT ALENA-compatible control boards
• Installations requiring integration with photocells, safety edges, and remote transmitters

Key specifications

• Power supply: 230V AC mains
• Functions: open, close, stop, and safety interlock management
• Inputs: connections for safety devices (photocells, edges) and external pushbuttons/limits
• Remote control compatibility: supports standard receiver modules and wired remote inputs
• Mounting: panel/board form factor for installation within control enclosures
• Application environment: indoor or protected outdoor electrical cabinets typical for gate automation

How to use

Install the control unit inside a suitable electrical enclosure near the gate motor, following local electrical codes and safety standards. Connect the 230V AC supply to the designated power terminals and wire the motor outputs to the gate operator according to the motor manufacturer’s wiring diagram. Hook up safety devices—photocells, safety edges, and any limit switches—to the corresponding input terminals so that safety interlocks are active. Pair or connect remote control receivers as required for wireless operation and configure any dip switches or programming options on the board according to installation needs.

Usage recommendations

Ensure installation and wiring are performed by qualified personnel. Before powering the system, verify correct polarity and secure grounding. Test all safety devices and the control logic after installation to confirm proper operation of open/close/stop commands and emergency stops. Regularly inspect connections and protective enclosures for moisture or corrosion to maintain reliable performance.
