In-House DC Motors: Driving Hardware Safety

All DUCATI motors stand out for two fundamental manufacturing pillars that ensure maximum reliability and electrical safety:

Low Voltage Direct Current Power Supply (12V or 24V DC): The use of low-voltage direct current ELIMINATES THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION at its root, a common hazard in traditional older systems operating at 230V alternating current. Furthermore, DC motors ensure an immediate starting torque, smooth slowdown management, and flawless operation in any weather condition. LDV test report & ceritificates made by indempendent notify body INTERTEK & NEMKo are avalable upon request.
100% Made in DUCATI Motors: The electric motors are entirely designed and manufactured inside the DUCATI factory. This total control over the supply chain guarantees the highest quality standards, perfect synergy with the control electronics, and superior product longevity.

Anti-Crushing Safety (EN12453)

N 12453 is the European technical safety standard that dictates the safety requirements and test methods for power-operated (motorised) doors, gates, and barriers.

The core principle of strict European safety regulations is to prevent a moving gate or door from striking a person with force, causing injury or damage. The law does not simply require the system to stop; it sets precise limits on the maximum force the automation can exert and the millisecond timeframes within which this force must drop to zero. This safety standard must be guaranteed regardless of the presence of external accessories (such as photocells or safety edges)

Amperometric Detection: Standard Across the Entire DUCATI's opener Range

Compliance with regulations is a fundamental prerequisite for our brand. For this reason, all DUCATI motors feature a standard, built-in amperometric detection system compliant with European standards. This system constantly monitors the motor's effort and, in the event of an impact with an obstacle, immediately blocks or reverses the door's movement to prevent damage or injury.

Enhancing Comfort with complementary Safety Accessories

Even if not mandatory, you can increase the safety of your system by adding complementary safety accessories.

SAFETY PHOTOELECTRIC PHOTOCELLS
Photocells are a useful accessory that prevents contact with an obstacle during the closing manoeuver of a gate or door.

If an obstacle interrupts the infrared beam transmitted from the transmitter photocell to the receiver photocell, the system detects it and reverses the movement, opening the gate.

Next-Generation Safety adjustments with Dukapp directly on your smartphone

DUKAPP's gate and garage door openers are equipped with state-of-the-art ABSOLUTE ENCODERS that instantly tracks the gate's precise position while simultaneously monitoring the motors' current draw by a built-in amperometric obstacle detection .

This triggers an immediate stop and reversal of the motor, ensuring maximum protection against the risk of crushing.

With DUKAPP you can set your opener compliant to highest safety norms precisely, quickly and easily and pass the strict European dynamic force tests smoothly.

This speeds up installation and saves you money.

With our latest Dukapp equipment line, safety meets ultimate customization directly from your smartphone.

Through a dedicated app, you can fine-tune the system's behavior to match the unique geometry of your entrance and ensure your machine complies to Eu safety standards troubleless.

Speed Customization:

Easily set the exact travel speed during the fast run phase as well as the deceleration phase.

Amperometric Sensitivity Levels:

Fine-tune the current threshold detection for an even more precise response to obstacles.

Pre-Set Compliance Modes:

The app can be instantly configured to automatic pre-set parameters following specific legal baselines, including full compliance with EN 12453 and EN 12453:2017, or customized with extra-European parameters depending on the specific country and country-use requirement.

PHOTOCELLS EXTRA MANAGEMENT AND SETTING ON DUKAPP OPERNERS

Unmatched Versatility in Safety: Advanced Photocell Management

Dukapp automation systems redefine safety with an exceptionally versatile photocell management framework. Designed to provide maximum protection tailored to your specific needs, the system allows you to configure security sensors far beyond standard configurations.While traditional systems only use photocells to protect the entrance during the closing cycle, Dukapp gives you the freedom to expand your security setup. You can easily add one or more pairs of photocells specifically active during the opening phase.Smart Protection for Complex ScenariosThis advanced flexibility allows you to safeguard your property against unique risks, such as:

Entrapment Prevention: Protecting critical danger zones where people or objects could get trapped or crushed behind the moving gate wings.
Smart Opening Blocks: Preventing the gate from opening if a vehicle or obstacle is detected within the swing area, avoiding accidental scratches, damage, or collisions.

Total Freedom, Total ProtectionWhether you are dealing with standard daily operations or exceptional, out-of-the-ordinary architectural layouts, Dukapp gives you the ultimate control to design your system for absolute safety in any condition.

During Closing: If an obstacle interrupts the infrared beam, the gate reverses its movement before even touching it. This is extremely useful to prevent a car from being hit and having its bodywork scratched.

During Opening: These protect blind spots that could pose a crushing hazard (for example, the space between the opening gate and a wall behind it).

Safety Under Control: The Photocells Self-Diagnostic Test

To offer an even higher level of protection, the electronics in the Dukapp range perform an automatic operational test before every single maneuver.If the system detects an issue with the photocells, it blocks the startup and immediately sends a notification to alert the user.

This preventive check is vital: dirt or insects trapped inside, misaligned detectors, power failures, or a short circuit in the wires could compromise the photocells' operation.

Thanks to the Dukapp self-diagnosis, the user is always aware of the system's status, preventing system safety from being compromised without their knowledge.

Thanks to the integration with the DUKAPP product line, the system manages itself intelligently, minimizing management costs and manual checks.

Predictive Notifications and Advanced Diagnostics with DUKAPP:
The system constantly monitors its own performance to guarantee maximum efficiency:

Targeted Ad-Hoc Alerts: In the event of an anomaly or malfunction, the system accurately detects the issue and sends an immediate notification. This allows you to schedule a targeted service intervention tailored specifically to the triggered alarm.
Wear Prevention: By accurately managing speed, the system perfectly controls the movement of the gate. This ideal operation prevents mechanical stress on the gears and structural hinges, ensuring long-term reliability and preventing premature wear and tear.
Safety Device Check: The automation continuously verifies the correct operating status of the photocells, instantly alerting the user via notification in case of an obstruction or problem.

Safety is the beating heart of every access automation system

Gates, garage and shutter openers by DUCATI are engineered to guarantee total protection for people, animals, and vehicles, thanks to smart, integrated technology.
