BFT RIGEL 6 230V Swing Gate Control Panel

Description

The BFT RIGEL 6 is a universal 230V control panel for one or two electromechanical or hydraulic swing gate operators. It is supplied in an enclosure and features an LCD display for straightforward programming, setup and diagnostics.

Designed as the replacement for the older BFT RIGEL 5, the RIGEL 6 is particularly useful for existing BFT installations as well as new 230V swing gate automation systems.

The panel has a built-in 4-channel radio receiver, electronic torque control and electronic slowdown on opening and closing. Separate limit switch inputs are provided for each motor, with connections for photocells, safety edges and other gate safety equipment.

A useful feature of the RIGEL 6 is adjustable obstacle detection, allowing this functionality to be added to compatible 230V electromechanical operators. It also supports BFT U-Link connectivity for integration with compatible BFT equipment.
