Technical Overview

• Product Code: A4801

• Compatibility: Exclusively for Frog Plus series underground motors (FROG-PM4 and FROG-PM6).

• Function: Provides precise electrical feedback to the control board, enabling the motor to stop smoothly and prevent the gate from hitting hard mechanical stops.

Key Features & Versions

• Protection: Designed for high resistance to environmental elements (IP67 protection rating when paired with the correct motor).

• Included Components: Each box typically comes complete with an unlocking lever (for manual gate release), a gate-securing bracket, and a screw for adjusting the opening limit switch point.

• Material Options:

  • Cataphoresis-coated Steel: A cost-effective, corrosion-resistant standard option.

  • AISI 304 Stainless Steel: Recommended for areas near the coast or in highly corrosive environments.

• Dimensions: Standard foundation boxes are typically 405mm (length) x 330mm (width) x 160mm (height).

Important Compatibility Note

It is vital to select the correct foundation box based on your specific motor model:

• Standard Frog Series (FROG-A, AV, AE, A24, A24E): Use the standard FROG-CF (cataphoresis) or FROG-BI (stainless steel) foundation boxes.

• Frog Plus Series (PM4/PM6): These larger, heavy-duty motors require the FROG-PC foundation box.

• Frog-X Series: These are compatible with standard foundation boxes but are often supplied with specific updated models (such as the FROG-BN).

The platform is split into two distinct mechanical configurations depending on whether your project requires maximum gate mass or maximum structural leaf width.

Core Engineering & Mechanical Design

• High-Inertia Industrial Drive: Driven by a high-torque 230V AC motor, the Frog Plus generates a massive 800 Nm of structural torque. This immense power allows it to reliably swing heavy iron or timber-clad gates through severe wind resistance without stalling or binding.

• IP67 Submersible Foundation Box: The motor is encased inside the heavy-gauge Frog-PC steel foundation box, treated with an anti-rust cataphoresis coating. It features a verified IP67 watertight rating, meaning it can survive temporary flooding, though proper soakaway drainage is required.

• Advanced ZM3EP Control Framework: The kit is managed by the ZM3EP graphic display panel. This advanced control board features self-diagnosing safety circuitry, real-time error-logging diagnostics, and adjustable mechanical travel limits.

• Robust Lever Release System: For absolute safety during a mains blackout, the system includes a reinforced key-operated manual release mechanism (A4364), allowing operators to manually disengage the high-torque gear layout and push the massive gate leaves open freely.

Technical Specifications

The Operational Golden Rule: As your gate leaf gets longer, the maximum weight it can safely handle decreases due to leverage. For example, while the PM6 can handle a 4-meter gate at 1,000 kg, at its maximum 7-meter length, the weight limit drops to 550 kg.

CAME Frog Plus – Pair of Gates Kit

CAME Frog Plus – Single Gate Kit

The high-inertia system is optimized for heavy wrought-iron or solid-clad timber gates measuring up to 3.5 meters in length or up to 800 kg per leaf, providing a massive 320 Nm of starting torque within a fully waterproof IP67-rated submersible enclosure.

Core Engineering & Mechanical Design

• Invisible Surface Aesthetic: The electromechanical gearmotors drop completely out of sight beneath the driveway line, leaving only a heavy-duty steel drive plate visible flush with the paving stones.

• High-Inertia Raw Torque: Powered by a line-voltage 230V single-phase motor, the system generates deep starting thrust to cleanly swing wide, wind-resistant or fully boarded timber leaves that might stall lower-voltage setups.

• IP67 Submersible Architecture: Built to survive harsh outdoor drainage environments, the motor casings are fully sealed against water and dust infiltration, allowing the system to continue running safely even if the foundation box temporarily fills with standing rainwater.

• Self-Locking Drive Security: The FROG-A utilizes an irreversible gear design that mechanically locks the gates securely in place when the motor stops, providing structural perimeter defence without strictly requiring a secondary physical latch.

1. Core Engineering & Performance

• 230V AC Models (FROG-A / FROG-AE):

  • Best For: Standard residential estates where high power is needed to move heavy, solid-clad or wind-resistant gates.

  • Performance: Delivers massive, consistent starting torque to handle heavy iron or timber gates.

  • Key Variation: The AE model includes an electronic encoder for precise position tracking and smooth end-of-travel slowdowns.

• 24V DC Models (FROG-A24 / FROG-A24E):

  • Best For: Intensive-use properties (apartments, gated communities, or high-traffic homes).

  • Performance: Rated for continuous operation. Because they run on low voltage, they run cooler and include built-in obstacle detection.

  • Key Advantage: Can be fitted with an optional backup battery system (LB180), ensuring the gate remains operational during power outages.

3. Common Features Across Both Versions

• Invisible Installation: Both versions utilize the same FROG-CF foundation boxes, ensuring the motor is hidden completely beneath the driveway paving.
