Description
ATA Elite SGO-1V4 Swing Gate Opener
The ATA Elite SGO-1V4 is a powerful 24Vdc articulated-arm swing gate operator designed for smooth, reliable automation of residential swing gates.
Built around a robust permanent-magnet DC motor and low-maintenance gearbox, the Elite SGO-1V4 combines strong gate-moving capability with smooth articulated-arm operation, soft start and soft stop functionality and a weather-resistant construction suitable for Australian conditions.
The operator can be used on single swing gates or combined with a second SGO-1V4 drive unit for dual swing gate installations.
🚪 Suitable for Gates up to 4m & 300kg
ATA rates the Elite SGO-1V4 for swing gates up to:
- Maximum gate width: 4,000mm
- Rated gate weight: 300kg
Actual suitability depends on the complete gate installation, including gate dimensions, construction, hinge condition, wind loading and mounting geometry.
The gate must move freely and smoothly by hand before automation is installed.
⚡ Powerful 24Vdc Motor
The SGO-1V4 uses a 24Vdc permanent-magnet motor providing smooth and controlled swing gate operation.
ATA specifies:
- Motor voltage: 24Vdc
- Motor type: Permanent Magnet DC
- Motor power: 100W
- Peak driving force: 200N
The DC motor is connected to a robust gearbox designed to provide reliable operation while requiring minimal maintenance.
💪 Robust Articulated Arm System
Unlike a linear swing gate actuator, the SGO-1V4 uses an articulated arm to transfer movement from the operator to the gate.
This provides smooth gate movement while reducing unnecessary stress on the gate and automation system.
The articulated-arm configuration is particularly useful for conventional residential swing gate installations where the operator is mounted to a substantial gate post or pier.
🐢 Soft Start & Soft Stop
The Elite SGO-1V4 supports soft start and soft stop operation when used with the appropriate ATA control system.
Rather than immediately applying full speed or stopping the gate abruptly, the system controls gate movement near the beginning and end of travel.
This provides:
- Smoother gate movement
- Reduced mechanical shock
- Quieter operation
- Reduced stress on gate hardware
- A more refined operating cycle
🏃 Typical Travel Speed
ATA specifies a typical gate travel speed of:
- 8° per second
Actual opening and closing time depends on the required gate travel angle, installation geometry and controller configuration.
🚪 Single or Dual Gate Operation
The Elite SGO-1V4 can be used for either single or dual swing gate installations.
For a single swing gate:
- 1 × SGO-1V4 drive unit is required
For a pair of swing gates:
- 2 × SGO-1V4 drive units are required
Both operators can be managed by the compatible control system to provide coordinated operation of the two gate leaves.
🧠 Compatible with ATA DCB-05 Control System
The SGO-1V4 is designed to operate with the compatible ATA DCB-05 control system.
When paired with the appropriate DCB-05 controller, the installation gains access to advanced gate automation functions and accessory support.
Depending on configuration, this can include:
- Soft start and soft stop
- Automatic closing
- Safety inputs
- Remote-control operation
- Pedestrian access functions
- Battery backup
- Solar operation
- Wireless keypad compatibility
- Safety beam integration
- Advanced programming functions
The DCB-05 controller is a separate component unless specifically included as part of a gate automation kit.
🔐 TrioCode128 Remote Technology
When connected to a compatible DCB-05 control system equipped with TrioCode128, the SGO-1V4 system can be operated using compatible ATA TrioCode128 transmitters.
TrioCode128 provides secure rolling-code remote operation with an extremely large number of possible code combinations.
The compatible control system can support up to 511 four-button transmitter registrations.
👁️ Safety Beam Compatibility
Compatible safety beams can be added to the control system to monitor the gate opening and closing area.
Safety beams provide an additional method of detecting vehicles, people or other obstructions within the protected area.
The required safety-device configuration should be determined according to the gate installation and applicable safety requirements.
🚶 Pedestrian Access
A compatible control system can be configured to provide pedestrian access.
Rather than opening the gate through its complete travel, a programmed command can partially open the gate to provide convenient pedestrian entry.
This is particularly useful where the driveway gate also serves as a pedestrian entrance.
🔋 Battery Backup Ready
When paired with the appropriate DCB-05 control system, battery backup can be added to the Elite SGO-1V4 installation.
Battery backup allows the gate automation system to continue operating for a limited number of cycles during a mains power failure.
This can be particularly useful for residential properties where the automated gate is the primary vehicle entrance.
Battery backup equipment is optional unless specifically included in the selected kit.
☀️ SmartSolar Ready
The SGO-1V4 can also form part of an ATA SmartSolar-compatible gate automation system when paired with the appropriate controller and equipment.
This makes the Elite particularly useful for gates where running conventional mains power to the entrance is difficult or impractical.
Solar system suitability depends on:
- Gate usage
- Battery capacity
- Solar exposure
- Panel positioning
- Gate condition
- Installed accessories
The appropriate ATA solar equipment must be selected for the installation.
🌦️ Weather-Resistant Construction
The Elite SGO-1V4 is designed for external swing gate installations.
ATA specifies a weather resistance rating of:
- IP44
This provides protection suitable for correctly installed outdoor gate automation applications.
As with any gate operator, correct positioning, installation and cable entry are important to maintaining weather resistance.
🔒 Manual Release
The SGO-1V4 incorporates a manual release system allowing the gate to be disengaged from the drive mechanism when required.
This allows the gate to be manually operated during:
- Power failures where no battery backup is installed
- Maintenance
- Servicing
- Automation faults
- Emergency situations
The manual release should only be operated according to ATA’s instructions.
📐 Minimum Sideroom Option
The articulated-arm design normally requires sufficient space around the gate post for the drive arm to operate correctly.
For installations with restricted space, ATA offers a compatible Minimum Sideroom Kit.
The optional kit can reduce the required sideroom to approximately the width of the drive unit itself – around 135mm.
This can make the Elite SGO-1V4 suitable for installations where a conventional articulated-arm arrangement would otherwise be difficult to accommodate.
🧱 Solid Mounting Surface Required
The SGO-1V4 generates significant forces while moving the gate and must be mounted to a structurally suitable post or pier.
ATA specifies that the mounting structure should be of solid construction such as:
- Brick
- Solid timber
- Steel
- Other suitably engineered structures
The mounting point must be capable of supporting the forces generated by the operator.
🔌 Flexible Installation
The SGO-1V4 is particularly useful for dual-gate installations because the main control equipment can be positioned at one side of the entrance while suitable low-voltage cabling is run to the second drive unit.
This can simplify installation compared with providing separate mains-powered control equipment at each gate leaf.
All electrical installation must be completed in accordance with applicable requirements.
🏡 Ideal for Residential Swing Gates
The Elite SGO-1V4 is particularly suited to residential swing gate automation where strength, reliability and smooth operation are required.
Typical applications include:
- Residential driveway gates
- Single swing gates
- Double swing gates
- Aluminium gates
- Steel gates
- Timber-framed gates
- Decorative driveway gates
- Private property entrances
Gate suitability must always be assessed according to the actual size, weight, construction and environmental conditions.

⚠️ Please Note
The ATA Elite SGO-1V4 is an articulated-arm swing gate drive unit.
The DCB-05 control system, remotes, safety beams, batteries, solar equipment and other accessories are not included unless specifically stated as part of the selected product or kit.
ATA rates the SGO-1V4 for gates up to 4,000mm wide and 300kg. These figures should not be considered independently when selecting an operator.
Gate construction, hinge condition, wind loading, solid infill, mounting geometry and environmental conditions can significantly affect the load placed on a swing gate operator.
A large solid or clad gate can create substantial wind loading even when its physical weight is well below the operator’s nominal weight rating.
The gate must move freely and smoothly by hand throughout its entire travel before automation is installed.
The operator must be mounted to a structurally suitable gate post or pier capable of supporting the forces generated by the automation system.
Appropriate safety devices should be incorporated according to the installation and applicable requirements.
