Platinum BLSW1016 Swing Gate Operator – Brushless DC Motor

Brushless DC Swing Gate Operator with Battery Backup and Advanced Security The Platinum Access BLSW1016 is a high-performance swing gate operator engineered for residential estates and heavy-duty commercial applications. Powered by a brushless 24V DC motor, this unit supports gates up to 16 feet or 1,000 lbs, providing ultra-quiet, high-torque operation backed by a maintenance-free gearbox and dual 7Ah batteries for uninterrupted access during power loss. Designed for long service life, the BLSW1016 delivers up to 10x longer motor life than traditional brushed DC motors, and integrates advanced safety, maglock control, and fail-secure/fail-safe modes - making it a premier choice for perimeter security environments where reliability is non-negotiable. Requires at least one UL-compliant monitored photoeye (not included) for operation. Key Features Supports gates up to 16 ft and 1,000 lbs Continuous-duty brushless motor with instant reversing and no brush maintenance Runs on 120V/220V single-phase power with built-in high-efficiency switching power supply Battery backup included – Operates 100+ cycles during power outages Dynamic speed control – No variation when switching between AC and battery power Self-learning sync – Auto-synchronizes dual gate arms with differing travel times Advanced maglock control – Secure hold at both open and closed positions Soft start/stop operation – Reduces mechanical wear and gate stress Solar priority mode – Draws power from solar panel first when available Alarm system with auto-reset – Sounds after obstruction and alerts per operator side Selectable fail-safe or fail-secure modes – Customizable for emergency conditions Manual release handle – Allows mechanical override in emergencies UL 325 & UL 991 listed for Class I–IV – Safe for residential, commercial, industrial, and restricted-access locations Technical Specifications Model: BLSW1016 Motor Type: 24VDC brushless, continuous-duty Gate Capacity: 16 ft or 1,000 lbs (12 ft/1,600 lbs also supported with adjustments) Voltage Input: 120V/230V AC, single-phase Battery Backup: 24V DC system (2x 12V 7Ah) Opening Speed: 90° in approximately 13–18 seconds Temperature Rating: -4°F to 158°F (down to -40°F with optional battery/gearbox heaters) Maximum Gate Angle: 120° Control Board: BLGOC-2200 with input/output LEDs, diagnostic alarms Chassis: Corrosion-resistant, powder-coated steel Dimensions: 20.5” x 18.5” x 23” Compliance: UL 325 & UL 991 for Classes I, II, III, IV Conclusion The Platinum BLSW1016 swing gate operator combines long-life brushless technology, robust security controls, and failover readiness into a single platform built for high-demand access environments.
