Compatibility and Installation Notes

The PROTECO MEKO 8 Motor is compatible with rack-driven sliding gates up to 800 kg when the gate structure, track, wheels, rack, foundation, end stops, and 230V electrical supply are correctly prepared. The gate must move smoothly without obstacles before automation, and the motor should be installed with proper earthing, limit switch positioning, photocell safety devices, and control board programming. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safe force settings, correct rack alignment, reliable obstacle detection, and long-term motor performance. For technical installation checks, refer to the official PROTECO MEKO manual. (proteco.net)
