Achieve whisper-quiet operation, streamlined aesthetics, and exceptional low-voltage safety with the Fadini DARDO 424 (K424.1L) Above-Ground Double Gate Automation Kit (VIX 53 Edition). Engineered explicitly for residential entrances and high-frequency multi-user driveways, this premium surface-mounted linear ram system cleanly operates pairs of swing gates up to 2.5 meters wide per leaf (or up to a solid 400kg in weight).
The K424.1L kit features an ultra-smooth, irreversible mechanical drive train comprising a steel rolled worm screw, a brass threaded traveling nut, and a heavy-duty Teflon crown gear. Managed by the intelligent Elpro 42 Control Panel, the integrated digital encoders provide constant amperometric monitoring. If the gate leaves contact a vehicle, pedestrian, or obstruction, the system instantly stops and reverses travel. Upgraded with the VIX 53 868MHz radio receiver, this kit delivers elite 128-bit algorithmic security alongside built-in, adjustable physical stop plates directly under the ram casing—eliminating the need for awkward center-stop blocks on your driveway.
Integrated Physical Stops: Built-in, fully adjustable opening and closing travel stops are integrated cleanly inside the ram cover, removing the need for physical metal floor stops.
Smart 24V Obstacle Sensing: Internal motor encoders dynamically calculate travel resistance, providing high-precision anti-crushing security and smooth soft-start/soft-stop deceleration.
Upgraded VIX 53 Radio Matrix: Employs advanced 868.19 MHz rolling-code frequencies to eliminate the risk of digital vehicle profiling or signal duplication.
Very Intensive Duty Cycles: Low-voltage 24V DC motors run cool under high-frequency demands, making this kit perfect for busy residential complexes or private estates.
Automating residential gates without complex driveway excavation demands a reliable, surface-mounted solution. The Fadini DARDO 424 K424.1L system mounts cleanly behind the gate leaves, applying direct mechanical leverage over the structural frame. Because the internal gear components ride on high-grade radial bearings and self-lubricating bushings, the rams operate with a virtually silent, fluid cadence, ensuring your entranceways open rapidly and smoothly in approximately 16 to 20 seconds.
The Dardo 424 protects your gate structure from long-term mechanical stress. Managed by the microprocessors in the Elpro 42 Logic Box, the rams utilize electronic slowdown braking to steadily decelerate the gate leaves as they arrive at their destination limits. This gentle soft-stop functionality prevents structural twisting, eliminates annoying gate rattling, and keeps the mechanism locked rigid against strong winds when fully closed.
Weather-Hardened Chassis: Protected by a heavy-duty, pressure-cast aluminum cover shell treated with a premium polyester powder coating to fight off UV degradation and severe frost.
Unified Security Lock Lid: Features a single, ergonomic manual key release system where the same customized key unlocks the protective ram lid and disengages the internal gear track during power outages.
D.S.A. Safety Check Logic: The Elpro 42 logic controller forces a diagnostic self-test across your safety photobeams before authorizing a cycle, ensuring the perimeter is safe before movement begins.
Flexible Stroke Range: Out of the box, the ram provides a 320mm useful stroke with the internal stops fitted. (Removing the internal stops extends travel by an extra 60mm if you prefer using physical ground stops).

Pro Tip: Because the Dardo 424 is an above-ground linear ram, achieving a smooth travel cycle without motor “stuttering” relies heavily on getting your installation dimensions (the A & B measurements from the hinge center to the rear bracket pin) completely balanced.
The Professional Method: For gates wider than 2.0 meters, Fadini strongly recommends installing an electric lock to protect the internal brass nut from structural leverage forces if the gate is subjected to heavy wind pressure or vandalism. When setting up your internal mechanical stop plates inside the top ram cover, ensure they are adjusted so that the motor finishes its deceleration cycle just as the ram arm encounters the stop plate. This guarantees a firm, rattle-free closure without placing unnecessary strain on the rear post brackets.
