Product Overview
Somfy Ixengo JL 230V is a screw-type electromechanical swing gate motor kit for Abu Dhabi residential and collective entrance gates. It is designed for rigid swing gates made from wood, metal, or aluminium, with official Somfy limits reaching up to 4 m per leaf when the correct installation conditions and electric lock requirements are met. The system uses the CB 230 RTS control box and supports manual unlocking with an individual key, making it practical for semi-intensive gate automation where strength, access control, and safe operation are required.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Somfy Ixengo JL 230V must be installed on a mechanically sound swing gate with proper pillar and gate-leaf mounting points. Somfy states that ground stop blocks are compulsory for both opening and closing, and the gate must be stopped before the cylinders reach their travel limits. For larger leaves or windy sites, Somfy recommends using an electric lock to reduce mechanical stress and improve holding resistance. Professional installation is strongly recommended for bracket positioning, CB 230 RTS wiring, photocell alignment, safety testing, and correct commissioning. Installers can review the official installation instructions before fitting the system.
