Maintain the flawless architectural integrity of your property’s entranceway with the Fadini FOX 730 (K730.1L) Underground Double Gate Automation Kit (VIX 53 Edition). Moving away from fluid-driven rams, the FOX 730 represents Fadini’s premier heavy-duty 230V electromechanical underground system. It is purpose-built to cleanly operate domestic and semi-intensive double swing gates up to 3.5 meters wide per leaf or up to a massive 800kg in weight.
Housed inside watertight IP67 die-cast aluminum shells and protected by heavy-gauge steel foundation boxes, the mechanical drive elements are entirely invisible below ground. Upgraded with the cutting-edge VIX 53 rolling-code radio matrix, this package features uncopyable 868MHz digital encryption paired with a precision external encoder for complete anti-crushing safety, auto-deceleration, and structural perimeter peace of mind.
Heavy Duty 800kg Capacity: High-torque electromechanical motor featuring a robust steel-to-brass worm gear setup to move wide timber or wrought iron gates effortlessly.
Upgraded VIX 53 Radio Security: Equipped with Fadini’s modern 868.19 MHz rolling-code transceiver system, delivering extended range and advanced anti-cloning security.
Advanced Safety Encoder Monitoring: Features constant amperometric obstacle detection. If the gate encounters an obstruction, it instantly stops and reverses travel.
Zero Architectural Impact: Keeps all mechanical linkages subterranean, preserving the aesthetic purity of bespoke gate craftwork.
Automating high-end residential gates requires an invisible solution that doesn’t compromise on mechanical toughness. The Fadini FOX 730 K730.1L 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.
Watertight Engineering Shield: The internal gearmotor is sealed in an IP67 die-cast casing, fastened securely inside a 3mm thick electrolytically coated 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.
2x Fadini FOX 730L Electromechanical Operators: (230 Vac, Irreversible Gearmotors with Integrated Encoders).
2x Zinc-Coated Heavy Steel Foundation Enclosures: (Model 727L) Protective boxes equipped with structural lid plates and internal release linkage hooks.
1x Elpro 43 Advanced Logic Control Panel: (Model 4300L) Comprehensive programmer board featuring safety auto-test logic.
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.

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: During groundwork excavation, ensure your gravel soakaway beneath the foundation boxes is perfectly level. Most importantly, clean any mud or debris away from the integrated water escape hole on the bottom face of the steel housing box. 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!
