Description
FAAC S2500I Integrated Swing Gate Operator – 104250
The FAAC S2500I is a premium 24V electromechanical swing gate operator designed to be integrated directly into the gate structure, providing powerful automation without the appearance of a conventional externally mounted swing gate motor.
Designed for residential and apartment applications, the S2500I can automate swing gate leaves weighing up to 250kg and measuring up to 2 metres wide, or up to 2.5 metres when used with an appropriate electric lock.
With up to 320Nm of torque, an impressive 165° maximum opening angle, continuous-duty operation and a BUS 2easy magnetic absolute encoder, the S2500I combines discreet architectural integration with sophisticated FAAC automation technology.
FAAC Part Number: 104250
👁️ Integrated Gate Automation
The defining feature of the FAAC S2500I is its integrated installation.
Rather than mounting a conventional linear or articulated operator visibly behind the gate, the S2500I is incorporated into the gate post and hinge structure.
This provides an exceptionally clean finished appearance while retaining convenient access to the operator for installation and servicing.
The S2500I is particularly suitable for:
- Architectural swing gates
- Premium residential entrances
- Aluminium swing gates
- Steel swing gates
- Custom fabricated gates
- Apartment and residential complexes
- Modern minimalist gate designs
- Installations where visible automation equipment is undesirable
🏗️ Designed Around the Gate Post
The S2500I has been specifically developed for integration into common square metal gate post sizes.
FAAC specifies compatibility with square-section posts measuring:
- 100 × 100mm
- 120 × 120mm
- 150 × 150mm
This allows the automation system to become an integral part of the gate rather than an external component added after fabrication.
The system can be incorporated into newly manufactured gates or adapted to suitable existing gates.
🔧 Install the Automation Now or Later
The modular S2500I system provides considerable flexibility during gate manufacture.
The gate can initially be prepared with the appropriate S2500I hinge and cover arrangement, with the electromechanical operator installed at a later stage.
This is particularly useful for custom gate fabrication because the gate can be designed automation-ready without requiring the complete automation system to be installed immediately.
🚪 Swing Gates Up to 250kg
FAAC specifies the S2500I for individual swing gate leaves weighing up to:
- Maximum leaf weight: 250kg
- Maximum leaf width without electric lock: 2m
- Maximum leaf width with electric lock: 2.5m
For gate leaves exceeding 2 metres, an appropriate electric lock is required.
Actual operator suitability also depends on:
- Gate construction
- Gate weight distribution
- Hinge geometry
- Gate post construction
- Wind loading
- Gate infill
- Required opening angle
- Required operating frequency
💪 320Nm Maximum Torque
Despite its compact integrated design, the S2500I provides substantial drive torque.
FAAC specifies:
- Maximum torque: 320Nm
This provides the mechanical force required to reliably automate suitable swing gate leaves weighing up to 250kg.
The electronic control system can manage the operator’s force and movement characteristics according to the requirements of the installation.
⚡ 24V Electromechanical Operation
The S2500I uses a 24V brushed DC electric motor.
FAAC specifies:
- System supply: 220–240V AC, 50/60Hz
- Electric motor: 24V DC brushed
- Maximum motor power: 40W
- Maximum torque: 320Nm
The low-voltage motor allows sophisticated electronic control of speed, force, acceleration, deceleration and obstacle detection.
🏎️ Fast Opening & Closing
The FAAC S2500I provides a maximum angular speed of:
- 10° per second
Depending on the gate geometry, programming and required opening angle, this allows exceptionally quick operation for a swing gate.
FAAC specifically designed the S2500I to minimise waiting time at residential entrances, with appropriately configured installations capable of completing the gate movement in approximately 10 seconds.
🔄 Up to 165° Opening
One of the major advantages of the S2500I is its extremely wide potential opening angle.
FAAC specifies a maximum gate leaf opening angle of:
- 165°
This provides significantly greater installation flexibility than many conventional swing gate operators.
The wide opening capability can be particularly useful for:
- Angled driveways
- Restricted entrances
- Gates requiring a wide clear opening
- Architectural installations
- Unusual property layouts
The achievable opening angle depends on the gate geometry and installation configuration.
♾️ Continuous-Duty Operation
FAAC specifies the S2500I for continuous operation, even at an ambient temperature of 55°C.
This provides excellent operating capacity for residential and shared-access applications where gates may experience frequent daily use.
The combination of 24V operation and continuous-duty capability makes the S2500I suitable for:
- Residential properties
- Apartment buildings
- Shared residential entrances
- High-use private driveways
- Multi-residence properties
🎯 BUS Magnetic Absolute Encoder
The S2500I incorporates a FAAC BUS magnetic absolute encoder.
The absolute encoder provides precise information about the position and movement of the gate leaf to the electronic control system.
Encoder feedback assists with:
- Accurate gate position monitoring
- Electronic obstacle detection
- Anti-crushing functionality
- Motor force management
- Controlled acceleration
- Controlled deceleration
- Accurate slowdown
- Precise gate movement
Because the system uses absolute position feedback, the control equipment can accurately manage the movement of the gate throughout the operating cycle.
🛑 Optional Integrated Mechanical Stops
FAAC offers an optional integrated mechanical stop kit specifically for the S2500I.
FAAC Part Number:
- 490252 – Integrated Mechanical Stops S2500I
The adjustable mechanical stops allow the required opening and closing stop positions to be established directly within the S2500I system.
This can reduce the need for conventional external gate stops in suitable installations.
The mechanical stop kit is optional and is not included with operator 104250.
🚨 Integrated LED Flashing Lights
The S2500I system can incorporate two integrated LED flashing lights within the upper hinge assembly.
Rather than mounting a conventional flashing light separately on a wall or gate post, the warning lights become part of the gate hinge structure.
The lights are positioned to provide visibility from both inside and outside the property.
This maintains the clean architectural appearance of the gate while providing a visible indication when the automated gate is operating.
The integrated flashing lights form part of the separate S2500I hinge assembly 490250 and are not contained within operator 104250 itself.
🔑 Integrated Manual Release System
The complete S2500I system incorporates a manual release system within the hinge arrangement.
This allows the gate operator to be disengaged and the gate moved manually when required.
Manual release may be required during:
- Power failures
- System faults
- Servicing
- Maintenance
- Emergency situations
FAAC also offers optional external and remote release accessories for installations where the standard release location cannot be conveniently accessed.

⚠️ Please Note
This listing is for FAAC part number 104250, the FAAC S2500I 24V Integrated Swing Gate Operator.
Part number 104250 is the electromechanical actuator and does not represent the complete S2500I gate automation system.
The dedicated S2500I hinge 490250, aluminium cover, electronic control equipment and other installation accessories are separate unless specifically stated as included.
The two integrated LED flashing lights and manual release lock are incorporated into the separate S2500I hinge assembly 490250 and are not part of the 104250 actuator itself.
FAAC specifies a maximum gate leaf width of 2 metres without an electric lock. An appropriate electric lock is required for gate leaves between 2 and 2.5 metres.
The maximum 250kg leaf weight and 2.5m leaf width are manufacturer limits and do not automatically mean every gate within these dimensions is suitable. Gate construction, hinge geometry, post construction, wind loading, gate infill and operating requirements must also be considered.
