Fadini K724.2L FOX 724 Underground 24V Gate Kit | HD Stainless Steel Lids
Overview
Automating high-end entranceways requires a careful balance of aesthetic discretion and high physical endurance. The Fadini FOX 724 K724.2L system removes visible surface-mounted mechanical arms completely, preserving the natural architectural lines of custom timber framework or ornamental blacksmith ironwork. By utilizing an ultra-tough internal gear train configured with steel-on-steel and steel-on-brass worm screws riding on radial bearings, the mechanism delivers an incredibly rapid and smooth 13-second opening speed (90°) that operates with a low, premium hum.
What separates the 24V K724.2L system from traditional 230V mains alternatives is its control over inertia. Managed by the intelligent Elpro 42 Logic Programmer Card, the system does not simply cut power at the end of a cycle. Instead, it uses electronic slowdown braking to smoothly decelerate the gate leaves as they reach their physical limits. This soft-stop engineering reduces structural twisting across the gate frame, prevents hinge wear, and eliminates stressful slamming during windy weather conditions.
Key Features
-
Invisible Subterranean Build: Conceals all driving mechanisms entirely beneath your driveway pavement level inside watertight, IP67-rated die-cast aluminum pods.
-
D.S.A. Safety Auto-Test Logic: The Elpro 42 panel runs a high-speed diagnostic signal through your safety photobeams before every single cycle, refusing gate movement if the safety loop is compromised.
-
Integral Mechanical Stops: Supplied complete with heavy drive levers featuring built-in, adjustable physical stop-bolts, allowing installers to establish exact 105° open limits without bolting awkward metal stops into the middle of your driveway.
-
Uncopyable Access Security: The included VIX 53 radio receiver swaps its digital code signature seamlessly every time a keyfob button is pressed, protecting your family against electronic vehicle tailgating.

Trade Installation & Amperometric Calibration Tip
Pro Tip: Because the FOX 724 system relies on constant amperometric monitoring to detect obstacles (measuring current spikes when the gate encounters resistance), cold winters or high winds can create artificial drag on solid-boarded timber gates.
The Professional Method: During initial commissioning on the Elpro 42 control board, ensure the gate hinges are fully lubricated and swing freely before running the automatic learning cycle. Do not set the obstacle detection sensitivity to its maximum tightness on day one; allow a slight margin for wind loading. If you are installing this kit on heavy close-boarded wooden gates wider than 2.5 meters, setting up the electronic slowdown zones to trigger slightly earlier will give the low-voltage 24V motors ample time to manage the structural inertia safely without triggering false obstacle reversals.
