This DTS gate motor kit puts the Expert 500 sliding gate motor in one box with its base plate and mounting hardware, 4m of nylon rack (2 x 2m), two DTS TX5 Octo remotes and an anti-tamper bracket. The Expert 500 is the DTS residential sliding gate motor for home gates up to 500kg, running at 22 m/min. If you want the motor with a battery instead of the full kit, see the DTS Expert 500 motor with battery listing.

What's in the box

  • DTS Expert 500 sliding gate motor
  • Base plate and mounting hardware
  • 2 x 2m nylon racks (4m)
  • 2 x DTS TX5 Octo remotes
  • Anti-tamper bracket

Gates longer than 4m need extra 2m nylon rack. Worn gate wheels make any motor work harder, so check them before the motor goes in; we also sell DTS 80mm radius gate wheels.

Is the Expert 500 right for your gate?

DTS rates the Expert 500 for residential gates up to 500kg and about 6 operations an hour. That suits a normal home driveway. For a busy gate, such as a complex or a business, DTS points you to its Elite 600 instead.

Power, remotes and safety

The Expert 500 has a 12V DC motor. It takes a 230V mains supply, which an on-board transformer steps down to 16V AC. The receiver holds 500 users and works with DTS TX Octo remotes only. The two TX5 Octo remotes in the kit each give 8 functions plus a panic button from 5 buttons. If you want the gate to close by itself, safety beams are required for auto-close, and they are not in the kit.

Warranty and supply

DTS gives a 24 month warranty on the motor and 12 months on the remotes. Alectra Solutions supplies the equipment only.
