CAME FROG underground motors were launched in 1989 when all other manufacturers were making hydraulic motors.
The FROG format has been copied ever since, but never bettered.
The standard FROG-CFN ground box is common to FROG-AE, FROG-A24E, and FROG-X. Opening angle is 110° degrees.
Adapters are available to increase opening to 135° degrees or 180°.
Internal physical stops are available for all but 180 degree opening.
You have the option of 230Vac motors, or 24Vdc motors, and more recently brushless motors.
Each type has a different control paneL, so you must replace like for like for replacement purposes.
The motors have an ID plate or label. Look for "TIPO" the type.
Low voltage motors have higher duty cycle suitable for busy multi-user sites.
Low voltage control panels and brushless control panels may be fitted with battery backup in case of power failure, and even solar powered chargers.
All versions use incremental encoders for safety stall sensing (obstacle detection).
If your control panel does not have the encoder facility, a motor fitted with an encoder will function, but without the safety features.
You should never disable the encoder safety feature without making other safety provisions.
You are legally responsible for public safety and protection from any gate you make changes to, unless you are replacing like for like.
It is always recommended to have the gate stop against a post or ground stop. Stick to the recommended geometry,
and always read the installation manual requirements as failure may void the manufacturer's warranty.
