Fadini K730.2L FOX 730 Underground 230V Gate Kit | Stainless Steel Lids

Original price was: £1,849.00.Current price is: £1,294.30. + VAT

Combine architectural elegance, robust mains-driven torque, and superior environmental resilience with the Fadini FOX 730 (K730.2L) Heavy-Duty Underground Double Gate Automation Kit (VIX 53 Edition). Moving away from fluid-driven loops, this premium system represents Fadini’s toughest 230V electromechanical underground drive. It is designed to cleanly operate heavy residential estate or semi-intensive commercial double swing gates up to 3.5 meters wide per leaf or up to a massive 800kg in weight.

The K730.2L Heavy-Duty (HD) designation adds a structural upgrade: the subterranean enclosures are hot-dip galvanized to withstand soil acidity, and finished with thick, brushed AISI 304 Stainless Steel top lids that stay pristine under vehicle tires. Featuring an integrated external encoder paired with the Elpro 43 Control Panel, this package delivers precise anti-crushing safety, auto-deceleration zones, and smooth deceleration braking. Upgraded with the VIX 53 868MHz radio matrix, this kit ensures uncopyable digital access security.

  • Heavy-Duty HD Casing Guard: Upgrades standard underground enclosures to hot-dip galvanized steel bodies capped with industrial-grade AISI 304 stainless steel floor plates.

  • High-Torque 230V Electromechanical Engine: Features a heavy-duty steel-to-brass worm gear train to move wide timber or wrought iron gates effortlessly through wind resistance.

  • Advanced VIX 53 Radio Security: Equipped with Fadini’s modern 868.19 MHz rolling-code transceiver system, providing extended range and advanced anti-cloning security.

  • Zero Architectural Impact: Keeps all mechanical linkages subterranean, preserving the clean visual lines of bespoke gate craftwork.

Description

Fadini K730.2L FOX 730 Underground 230V Gate Kit | Stainless Steel Lids

Overview

Automating high-end residential gates requires an invisible solution that doesn’t compromise on mechanical toughness. The Fadini FOX 730 K730.2L system replaces unsightly surface-mounted swing arms with an ultra-compact subterranean gearmotor. Utilizing a robust combination of steel-on-steel and steel-on-brass worm screws running on heavy radial bearings, the system provides a constant, reliable, and whisper-quiet opening pacing that breathes high-end luxury.

This premium kit relies on the advanced Elpro 43 Control Programmer Module equipped with D.S.A. (Drive Safety Assistant) auto-test logic. Before the gates initiate any movement, the board runs a rapid diagnostic on all connected photocells and safety circuits. Backed by an integrated encoder system, the electronics safely decelerate the gate speed as it approaches its open and closed resting points, mitigating mechanical wear and eliminating slamming.

Key Features

  • Watertight Engineering Shield: The internal gearmotor is sealed in an IP67 die-cast casing, fastened securely inside a hot-dip galvanized steel foundation case to withstand ground dampness and winter frost.

  • Built-in Mechanical Limits: The kit includes pre-engineered movement levers fitted with adjustable internal mechanical travel stops, allowing you to establish exact 105° opening trajectories without needing physical stops on your driveway surface.

  • Ergonomic Key Release: In the event of a residential power cut or system lockout, the gate can be manually disconnected easily from above ground using a specially shaped emergency release key.

  • Eco-Conscious Signal Strength: The upgraded VIX 53 remote system changes its encryption signature automatically with every button press, completely preventing data “sniffing” or signal copying by unauthorized vehicles.

Complete Kit Components

  • 2x Fadini FOX 730L Electromechanical Operators: (230 Vac, Irreversible Gearmotors with Integrated Encoders).

  • 2x Heavy-Duty Hot-Dip Galvanized Enclosures (727L Variant): Subterranean boxes equipped with premium brushed AISI 304 Stainless Steel top lids.

  • 1x VIX 53/2 R Plug-In Radio Card: (Model 5311L) Advanced 868.19 MHz rolling-code frequency card.

  • 2x VIX 53/4 TR 4-Button Remote Transmitters: (Model 5313SL) Ergonomic multi-channel pocket fobs.

  • 1x Birio A8 Tuned Radio Antenna / Aerial: (Model 4605L) Maximizes remote transmission reach.

  • 1x Pair of Orbita 57 Safety Photocells: (Model 570L) Active infrared beams to prevent gate closure on crossing vehicles.

Trade Installation & Drainage Tip

Pro Tip: Because electromechanical underground kits like the FOX 730 rely on grease-lubricated internal gears rather than an airtight oil-hydraulic loop, they are particularly sensitive to prolonged immersion in standing rainwater or chemical runoff from salt-treated driveways.

The Professional Method: While the K730.2L variant features an upgraded hot-dip galvanized foundation box with a corrosion-resistant AISI 304 stainless steel lid, the interior mechanics must still be protected from pooling water. During groundwork excavation, ensure your gravel soakaway beneath the boxes is perfectly level. Clean any mud or debris away from the integrated water escape hole on the bottom face of the steel housing. We highly recommend rinsing the inside of the box annually during standard gate servicing to clear out silt or leaves. Keeping the drainage clear ensures your internal brass and steel worm gears operate dry and effortlessly for over a decade!
