Description
The FAAC S2500I Integrated Swing Gate Operator – Single Kit is a premium 24V swing gate automation system designed to integrate directly into the gate structure for an exceptionally clean and discreet installation.
Unlike conventional swing gate operators mounted visibly to the rear of the gate, the S2500I is designed to become part of the gate itself, making it an ideal solution for architectural, designer and high-end residential gates where appearance is just as important as automation performance.
With up to 320 Nm of torque, a maximum opening angle of 165° and continuous-duty operation, the S2500I combines powerful gate automation with an innovative integrated design.
This Single Kit is designed for automating one swing gate leaf.
🏆 Premium Integrated Gate Automation
The S2500I represents a different approach to conventional swing gate automation.
Rather than installing a large actuator behind the gate, the S2500I is incorporated into the gate/post structure.
This creates a much cleaner finished installation with substantially less visible automation equipment.
It is particularly suited to:
- Architectural gates
- Designer aluminium gates
- Custom fabricated gates
- Premium residential entrances
- Modern homes
- Apartment and residential developments
- Installations where conventional operators would detract from the gate design
🏗️ Integrated Into the Gate Structure
The S2500I is specifically designed for integration into square metal gate columns.
FAAC specifies compatibility with square sections including:
- 100 × 100 mm
- 120 × 120 mm
- 150 × 150 mm
This allows gate manufacturers and fabricators to incorporate the automation system directly into the gate design.
The result is an automation system that becomes an integral part of the gate rather than an accessory attached after fabrication.
✨ Clean Architectural Appearance
One of the major advantages of the S2500I is its appearance.
Traditional swing gate operators can require visible:
- Linear actuators
- Articulated arms
- Rear mounting brackets
- Operator housings
- Mechanical drive components
The integrated S2500I design dramatically reduces the visual impact of the automation system.
This makes it particularly attractive for custom gates where maintaining clean architectural lines is important.
⚡ Powerful 24V Electromechanical Drive
The S2500I uses a 24V DC brushed electric motor.
The 24V system provides smooth and controlled gate movement while supporting the advanced safety and control functions available through compatible FAAC control boards.
The operator provides:
- 24V DC motor
- Maximum power of 40W
- Maximum torque of 320 Nm
- Maximum angular speed of 10°/second
- Continuous-duty operation
This makes the S2500I suitable for demanding residential and compatible multi-user applications.
💪 Up to 250kg Gate Leaf
FAAC specifies a maximum gate leaf weight of:
- 250 kg
The actual suitability of the operator depends on the combination of:
- Gate leaf width
- Gate weight
- Gate construction
- Hinge geometry
- Wind loading
- Installation geometry
- Required opening angle
The complete gate should always be assessed before selecting the automation system.
📐 Up to 2.5m Gate Leaf
The FAAC S2500I is suitable for swing gate leaves up to:
- 2.0 m without an electric lock
- 2.5 m with an electric lock
An electric lock provides positive mechanical locking when the gate reaches the closed position and is required by FAAC when extending the application to the maximum 2.5 m leaf width.
🔄 Up to 165° Opening
The S2500I provides an impressive maximum gate opening angle of up to:
- 165°
This large operating range provides considerably more installation flexibility than many conventional swing gate operators.
It can be particularly useful where the gate needs to open significantly beyond the normal 90° position.
The achievable opening angle ultimately depends on the gate construction and installation geometry.
🔩 320Nm Maximum Torque
The S2500I develops up to 320 Nm of maximum torque.
This provides the mechanical force required to automate compatible swing gates while maintaining the compact integrated design of the operator.
The gate must still be correctly constructed, hinged and balanced.
Automation should never be used to compensate for a gate that is mechanically difficult to move.
🚦 Integrated Flashing Light
A distinctive feature of the S2500I is its integrated flashing light.
The warning light is incorporated directly into the operator installation and is designed to be visible from both inside and outside the property.
This provides a clear visual indication when the automatic gate is operating without requiring a conventional separate flashing-light assembly to dominate the gate design.
🎯 Absolute Position Control
The S2500I incorporates a BUS magnetic absolute encoder.
The encoder allows the compatible FAAC control system to accurately monitor the position and movement of the gate.
Accurate position feedback supports controlled:
- Opening
- Closing
- Acceleration
- Deceleration
- Obstacle management
- Gate positioning
This contributes to smooth and precise gate movement.
🛑 Optional Integrated Mechanical Stops
The S2500I can be fitted with optional integrated mechanical opening and closing stops.
These allow the required opening and closing positions to be mechanically established within the operator system.
This can provide a particularly neat solution where external gate stops would otherwise interfere with the appearance or use of the entrance.
Mechanical stop requirements should be determined when designing the gate and automation system.
🔋 Continuous-Duty Operation
FAAC specifies the S2500I for continuous operation at an ambient temperature of 55°C.
This makes the operator suitable for applications requiring more frequent operation than a conventional low-duty residential swing gate operator.
The complete automation system should still be designed according to the expected traffic and operating conditions of the installation.
🌡️ Designed for Outdoor Gate Automation
The S2500I is designed for external swing gate automation.
FAAC specifies an operating ambient temperature range of:
- -20°C to +55°C
The operator has a protection classification of:
- IPX4
Correct installation and drainage around the integrated operator remain important for long-term reliability.
🎨 Selectable Operator Cover
The S2500I aluminium cover is available in two finishes.
Options include:
- Painted dark finish
- Neutral finish ready for custom painting or finishing
The neutral version is particularly useful for custom gate manufacturing because the cover can be finished to complement the gate colour and surrounding architectural design.
The operator cover is selected separately according to the required installation finish.
🔧 Suitable for New & Existing Gates
Although particularly well suited to new custom gate fabrication, the S2500I can also be incorporated into suitable existing gate structures.
FAAC has designed the system so the hinge and cover arrangement can be integrated into the gate structure according to the installation requirements.
Retrofitting depends heavily on the construction and dimensions of the existing gate.
🏠 Ideal for Premium Residential Gates
The S2500I is particularly suited to premium residential gate installations where visible automation hardware is undesirable.
Typical applications include:
- Architect-designed homes
- Custom aluminium gates
- Modern residential entrances
- High-end driveway gates
- Designer swing gates
- Custom fabricated gate systems
The integrated design allows the gate itself to remain the dominant visual feature.
🏢 Suitable for Apartment & Multi-User Applications
The continuous-duty 24V design also makes the S2500I suitable for compatible apartment and multi-user installations.
The complete automation system should be selected according to:
- Expected daily traffic
- Gate size
- Gate weight
- Site security requirements
- Safety requirements
- Access-control requirements
🔓 Manual Release
As with any automatic gate system, provision must be made for manual operation if the automation system cannot operate.
The S2500I can be configured with the appropriate FAAC release arrangement according to the installation design.
An optional external release system is also available where the installation requires manual release access from an alternative location.
🔐 Electric Lock Compatibility
An electric gate lock can be incorporated into the automation system where required.
FAAC specifies an electric lock when using the S2500I with gate leaves between 2.0 m and the maximum 2.5 m width.
Electric locks can also provide additional positive mechanical security for gates exposed to significant external forces.
🛡️ Safety Accessories
Automatic gates should be fitted with appropriate safety equipment according to the installation and risk assessment.
Compatible accessories can include:
- Safety photocells
- Safety edges
- Additional presence detection
- Warning devices
- Access-control equipment
The exact safety requirements depend on the gate design, operating environment and intended use.
