The Sentry A6 Max is a sliding gate motor for home and light industrial gates up to 600kg and 30m long. It runs on 220V mains, sets its own gate limits, and has a backlit LCD screen on the controller, so setup and changes are quick. Choose the basic gate motor kit, or a kit that adds the 12V 7.2Ah battery, the A6 Max anti-theft bracket and a 4m steel rack.
Which kit do you need?
- Basic kit: A6 Max motor, 2 Sentry 4-button remotes and the base plate. A good fit if your gate already has a rack.
- Kit with battery and anti-theft bracket: everything in the basic kit, plus a 12V 7.2Ah sealed lead acid battery and the A6 Max anti-theft bracket. For a gate that already has a rack and needs to keep working in power cuts.
- Full kit with steel rack: everything in the basic kit, plus a 4m steel rack (2 x 2m) and the A6 Max anti-theft bracket.
- Full kit with battery and steel rack: everything in the full kit, plus a 12V 7.2Ah sealed lead acid battery. Everything for a new gate without a rack.
Already have an A6 Max? The A6 Max anti-theft bracket is also sold on its own.
Battery backup
The A6 Max runs on mains power without a battery. If you want the gate to keep working during power cuts, choose a kit with the battery, or add one of these batteries to the basic kit or the full kit with steel rack. The battery fits inside the motor and the A6 Max keeps it charged.
- G-MAX7 12V 7.2Ah sealed lead acid battery: the battery in the two battery kits. AGM and maintenance free, about 50 openings in a power cut.
- Gate Motor Lithium Battery 12.8V 7Ah: lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), about 100 openings in a power cut.
Opening figures are Sentry's, measured on a 4m, 500kg gate with a fully charged battery. For longer backup, Sentry also offers an optional 12V 18Ah battery pack, rated at about 500 openings.
Make it smart
Add the Gemini Gemlink Lite to open the gate from your phone over Bluetooth or WiFi. The A6 Max also has a plug-in slot for a GSM/Bluetooth or WiFi module, and with the optional module fitted you can get push notifications on your phone.
Built with security in mind
The built-in code-hopping receiver stores up to 500 remote buttons. The Anti-Tamper Alarm has an adjustable Tamper Impact Force, so you can set how sensitive it is to tampering, and you can set a remote button as a panic button.
Setting it up? Martin Electronics, who make Sentry gate motors, have A6 Max video tutorials, linked with the manuals on this page. Alectra Solutions supplies the equipment only.
