SELECTION AND INSTALLATION CRITERIA
Selecting an automatic gate requires careful evaluation:
- Dimensions, weight, and frequency of use.
- Type of use (residential, communal, intensive).
- Safety requirements, including photocells and edges.
KIT COMPOSITION OF THE KIT
The standard K20 kit includes:
- An 2000 kg electromechanical gearmotor (with built-in electronic equipment). 220V power supply with key release. Dimensions H257XL290XP135 mm. Speed 12 m/min (UNI 8612 norms). Weight 17 kg.
- A Galvanized foundation plate
- Control unit placed in the motor housing, with trimmer adjustment of motor force (slowdown at opening and closing). There are 4 operating logics: step-by-step, semi-automatic 1 and 2, automatic for communal use. Includes pedestrian entrance, courtesy light, surge protection, inputs for photocells and safety edges.
- A single-channel radio receiver built into the control unit (433.9 MHz)
- An antenna built into the control unit, range 20 meters (433.9 MHz)
- A 4-channel Rolling Code remote control
- A pair of wall-mounted photocells
- A 230V LED blinker
- A warning sign
- Installation accessories
- Installation instructions for both mechanical and electronic parts in ITALIAN
The stages of mechanical installation include:
- Fixing the counterplate to the ground.
- Mounting the motor and rack, keeping enough space to avoid friction.

ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION
During the electronic installation, carefully follow the provided procedures.
Initial Wiring
Connect the start contact, common contact, and pedestrian contact according to the provided instructions.
Terminal Connections
Connect the control devices to the designated terminals on the control unit:
- Terminal 1 and 2 for key, selector, or start button.
- Terminal 2 and 3 for pedestrian passage.
- Terminals 4, 5, 6, and 7 for photocells and other safety devices.
- Terminals 11 and 12 for powering additional devices.
- Terminals for connecting the motor, courtesy light, and blinker.
- Terminals for general power supply and grounding.
Dip Switches
There are 10 DIP switch settings:
- Dip 1 (sliding gate use): Off.
- Dip 2 (automatic closure): enable/disable selection.
- Dip 3 (communal or step-by-step mode).
- Dip 4 (motor position left/right), reverses the motor phases.
- Dip 5-7 (safety control: photocells, mechanical edge, slowdown).
- Dip 8 (encoder enable).
- Dip 9-10 (advanced configuration for optimized and specific operation).

FAQ K20
WHY AUTOMATE A GATE?
- Simplifies and secures daily life
- Ensures stable and always closed automations
- Weather conditions are no longer a concern: it opens and closes with the remote control or the app on your phone
WHO ISSUES THE CERTIFICATION?
Dieffematic issues the product certification itself, in compliance with the UNINISO 9001 standard, covering both the electronic and mechanical parts and the use of the product.
The installer issues the certification as they must ensure the system is safe and compliant.
PROBLEMS WITH OPENING AND CLOSING?
If the automation does not respond to commands or there is no power, refer to the instructions for manual release.
If the gate opens but does not close, it is a problem with the photocell safety system. The photocell may be blocked or dirty.
For random gate openings, check the start inputs or remote controls. Physically check if there are start points from selectors, buttons or intercoms, or if there could be radio interference at the gate. A reset of the remotes and reprogramming is recommended. The reasons could be either a low remote battery or some interference in the area reducing the antenna and receiver’s sensitivity. To solve the problem, check the battery or introduce an external receiver/antenna.
CONCLUSIONS
The sliding gate K20 represents a cutting-edge solution for those seeking reliability, security, and ease of use.
Integrable into any environment, it guarantees high performance and long lifespan, supported by clear installation instructions and post-sale assistance.
With its robust design, advanced safety features, and easy installation, the K20 is the ideal choice for modernizing residential or industrial access.
