Designed to be installed completely sub-surface within IP67-rated watertight foundation boxes, it preserves the clean aesthetics of any gate entrance while handling leaves up to 3.5 meters long or 800 kg in weight. While the 230V models provide massive starting torque for wind-resistant timber or heavy iron gates, the 24V models offer continuous-duty cycles and optional battery backup for high-traffic environments. Both systems utilize advanced electronic encoder-monitored movement for active obstacle detection, smooth deceleration zones, and integrated manual key-release overrides. ]]> The CAME Frog Series is the industry standard for high-end underground gate automation. While all models share the same “invisible” sub-surface aesthetic, they are available in two primary power platforms: the 230V AC (Standard/Encoder) series for raw torque and the 24V DC (Intensive) series for high-traffic, smart-control requirements.

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.

2. Technical Specifications Matrix

Feature 230V AC Series (FROG-A / AE) 24V DC Series (FROG-A24 / E)
Max Leaf Length Up to 3.5 Meters Up to 3.5 Meters
Max Leaf Weight 800 kg (@ 2.0m) 800 kg (@ 2.0m)
Duty Cycle 30% (Semi-Intensive) Intensive (Continuous)
Power Drive 230V AC Single-Phase 24V DC Low Voltage
Encoder Included Optional (AE Model) Included Standard
Battery Backup No Yes (Optional Accessory)
Ingress Protection IP67 (Submersible) IP67 (Submersible)

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.

  • IP67 Waterproofing: Every motor is factory-sealed to withstand flooding or water saturation within the underground foundation box.

  • Manual Override: Both kits include the custom A4364 steel linkage key for manual release during emergencies.

  • Structural Integrity: All motors are built with die-cast aluminium housings and cataphoresis-treated steel casings to prevent corrosion.

4. Standard Kit Box Contents

Regardless of the voltage chosen, the CAME Frog kits come as a “system-in-a-box”:

  1. Motors: 1 or 2 x FROG gearmotors (230V or 24V).

  2. Foundation: 1 or 2 x FROG-CF foundation boxes.

  3. Override: 1 or 2 x Manual release mechanisms (A4364).

  4. Control: 1 x Advanced control panel (ZLX230 for 230V / ZLX24 for 24V) with LCD screen.

  5. Connectivity: 1 x AF43S receiver card.

  6. Safety: 1 x Pair of DIR10 safety photocells.

  7. Access: 2 x TOP SPORT (TOP44RBN) rolling-code remotes.

  8. Range: 1 x TOP-A433N tuned antenna.
