What this motor is

LIFE OPTIMO is a linear arm motor for swing gates, made by LIFE home integration in Italy. One arm drives one leaf, so a two-leaf gate uses two arms. Alisa installs the 24V versions (OP324 and OP524), which work with the GE UNI 24R DL2 control box.

The motor is self-locking: once the gate is closed it cannot be pushed open by hand until it is released with the key. The gate is therefore secure even without a separate lock.

How the system fits together

• Arm motors: fitted between the pillar and the leaf; they extend to close and retract to open (or the other way round, depending on how they are mounted)
• GE UNI 24R DL2 control box: the brain of the system, with a built-in remote receiver
• Remotes: open or close from your car
• Safety photocells: a pair of light beams across the entrance; if a person or car breaks the beam, the gate stops or re-opens
• Flashing lamp: warns that the gate is moving
• Backup battery (optional): keeps the gate working during a power cut

Technical data (24V models)

Maximum leaf size

The longer the leaf, the lower the weight the motor can handle. Solid leaves that catch the wind should stay below these figures.

Leaf 1 and leaf 2

On a two-leaf gate the leaves move in order, so they do not collide:

• Leaf 1: opens first and closes last
• Leaf 2: opens second and closes first

The delay between the two leaves is set by the technician in the control box. If the leaves hit each other or do not close fully, please let us know.

Everyday use

• Open or close both leaves: press the button your technician programmed on the remote
• Pedestrian opening: if programmed, a second button opens leaf 1 only
• Auto-close: if enabled, the gate closes by itself after the set pause (5 to 120 seconds)
• Photocells: if the beam is broken while the gate is closing, the gate re-opens
• Obstacle detection: if a leaf meets resistance, the control box stops or reverses it according to the sensitivity your technician set

Drive or walk through only when the gate is fully open and has stopped.

Releasing the motor and opening by hand

Use this in a power cut (without a backup battery) or if a motor fails. Each arm has its own keyhole.

1. Switch off the gate's power supply first (if there is power)
2. Lift the keyhole cover (1) on top of the arm
3. Insert the key (2) and turn it clockwise one full turn (360°)
4. The leaf is now free; move it slowly by hand
5. To lock again: insert the key and turn it anticlockwise one full turn, close the cover and switch the power back on

• Do not force the key, or it may break
• A released leaf can be swung by the wind; keep hold of it
• Keep the key somewhere safe that the household knows, out of children's reach
• If you forget to lock it again, the motor runs but the leaf does not move

Checks before you call us

Care and maintenance

• Every month: check that the arm bolts and brackets, hinges and gate stops are tight and not worn
• Keep the arms clean and clear leaves and dust around them
• Do not spray water directly at the arms or the control box
• The arms are greased at the factory; owners should not oil them
• Every 6 months: as the manufacturer's manual requires, have a professional technician test the whole system and all safety devices
• If you have a backup battery, have it checked once a year

Safety

• Do not let children play near the gate or with the remotes
• Never touch a leaf or arm while it is moving
• Do not stand in the swing path of the leaves
• Do not open the control box or the arms; they contain electrical parts
• If the gate behaves abnormally, stop using it immediately
