The myAster packs a lot of power for its price, offering incredible value for money.
It is deft and subtle when needed using low torque settings via the Q80A programmable control board. Ideal for 5-bar farm gates and other wooden gates where power needs to be delivered in a precise and measured manner.
The myAster is our most popular selling double gate automation kit range. The 3 kit options cover almost all residential & agricultural double swing gate dimensions.
The myAster kits are a cost effective method of gate automation and are ideal where the gates are hung on posts, or close to the edge of the pillars.
The rams are non-reversible and therefore don’t need the inconvenience or expense of an additional electric lock to keep them closed.
Opening angles up to 110° can be achieved depending on hinge position.
The myAster is manufactured by renowned Italian gate automation manufacturer, Proteco. Proteco have been producing reliable industrial and residential electric gate automation products for over 40 years.

With all linear ram (straight arm) motors it is essential to mount the brackets correctly for efficient operation and durability of the equipment.
The ideal geometry for a ram is where A = B (as shown in the diagram below) as the leverage and mechanical advantage in all phases of opening and closing are equal.
This will also result in the lowest amount of stress on the ram, hinges and ram mountings - hinges must be plumb!
To achieve optimum leverage and efficiency the gate opener needs to meet the following parameters (within 10mm tolerance) - measurements are taken from the pillar bracket to the gate bracket when gate is in closed position:

| A | 145mm | 195mm | 245mm |
| B | 145mm | 195mm | 245mm |
| D | 150mm (Max) | 200mm (Max) | 200mm (Max) |
When fitting the gate brackets to a wooden gate, we recommend that you insert stainless steel tubing (just large enough to sleeve the mounting bolt threads and 1mm shorter than the thickness of the wood) through the gate mounting holes. This will prevent over-tightening of the mounting bolts and also avoid the repetitive push/pull on the mounting bolts from damaging the wood.

Kit myAster optional upgrades and accessories include:
* gate stops (all of our gate motors require some form of resistance at the end of the opening & closing phase.)
* underground exit loop (detects the presence of a vehicle and automatically opens the gate)
* extra photocells
* additional key fobs
* intercom kit
* extended range (external) aerial
