DEA GEKO Swing Gate Motor

Yes — the DEA GEKO is the only swing gate motor in the POWERgate Abu Dhabi range with an optional slope installation kit available, supporting gate installations on inclines up to 12% gradient. On a sloped site, a standard swing gate arm operates at a different angle than on flat ground, causing the actuator to work off-axis through the opening arc. The slope kit corrects the arm geometry for inclined installations, ensuring correct force delivery and preventing abnormal stress on the arm pivot. For Abu Dhabi properties with a sloped entrance driveway, this accessory is essential.

The DEA GEKO is the only swing gate motor in the POWERgate Abu Dhabi range to publish a noise level specification: less than 70 dBA. At 70 dBA, the motor is quieter than a typical conversation (70 dBA) and significantly quieter than many 230V AC motors. For Abu Dhabi villa gates that open early morning or late evening near residential neighbours, low motor noise is a genuine quality-of-life factor. The 24V DC arm mechanism inherently produces less mechanical noise than 230V AC motors, and the encoder-controlled slowdown prevents end-of-travel impact noise.

The NET24N is DEA’s integrated 24V control board built directly into the DEA GEKO motor housing, combining the control electronics and encoder management in one unit. It includes a 433 MHz receiver for remote control, manages the encoder-based movement and slowdown, handles obstacle detection, and controls the mechanical stop positions. Having the board integrated into the motor (rather than a separate external panel) reduces installation components, simplifies wiring, and keeps the gate post neat — useful for Abu Dhabi villa installations where minimising visible hardware is preferred.

The DEA GEKO is rated at 20 cycles per hour and a maximum of 60 open/close cycles in any 24-hour period. The daily maximum of 60 is a thermal and duty management limit: even if the gate cycles infrequently, the motor’s 80W at 24V accumulates heat across the day, and 60 cycles is the sustainable limit within the motor’s thermal envelope. For a typical Abu Dhabi family villa with 15–20 daily gate cycles, the GEKO provides a comfortable safety margin. Busier commercial or apartment gate applications should consider a higher-frequency motor from the range.

The DEA GEKO carries a 24-month manufacturer warranty. Key installation factors: the correct arm type (articulated or sliding) must match the physical space behind the gate — forcing an articulated arm into a space too tight for it causes pivot damage. If the site is sloped beyond a flat installation, the slope kit must be specified before brackets are fixed. The 60-cycle daily maximum must not be exceeded; repeated triggering of the thermal protection indicates application mismatch.
