Ramset RAM 300 DC Swing Gate Operator

Brushless DC Swing Gate Automation for Residential and Commercial Entrances

The Ramset RAM 300 DC Swing Gate Operator is a high-traffic operator designed for residential and commercial vehicular swing gates up to 1,200 lb and 18 ft long. Its 24V brushless DC motor, continuous-duty design, battery backup, and commercial oil-bath gearbox provide a strong platform for automated perimeter entrances requiring frequent operation.

The RAM 300 DC uses a 24V brushless DC motor with a Size 50, 80:1 synthetic oil-bath gearbox. Adjustable Soft Start and Slow Stop settings help reduce abrupt gate movement, while Ramset's mechanical limit system provides straightforward adjustment of the gate's open and closed positions.

Two 12V 7Ah batteries provide backup operation during an AC power interruption. Ultra Low Battery Mode reserves a portion of the battery capacity for emergency use, and selectable Fail Safe / Fail Secure operation allows the system response to be configured if normal power and usable battery power are lost.

For manual access, the RAM 300 DC includes a foot-pedal emergency release. After power is disconnected, stepping on the release mechanically disengages the drive so the gate can be moved manually.

Conclusion

The Ramset RAM 300 DC combines a 1,200 lb / 18 ft gate rating, brushless DC power, battery backup, mechanical limits, and a foot-pedal emergency release in a swing gate operator suited to residential communities and commercial entrances.

For UL 325 installations, the RAM 300 DC uses an inherent entrapment protection system and requires monitored external protection for the closing direction. Additional photoeyes or sensing edges may be required depending on the actual gate layout and identified entrapment zones.
