Core Specifications & Compatibility

Choosing compatible accessories improves safety and lifespan. Always confirm:

• Operating voltage (commonly 12VDC or 24VDC for sensors and relays)
• Relay/contact load (Amps and voltage required by your motor/controller)
• Wireless frequency (match transmitter and receiver)
• Physical size and mounting - check box/enclosure dimensions

Local availability means you spend less time waiting for imported parts and more time completing installations. For custom builds, Communica also offers cable, glands, and panel accessories to match your automation project requirements.

Accessory Selection & Application Guidance

Choosing the Right Access Automation Accessories

When selecting a relay, for example, check that its coil voltage matches your controller output and its contact rating suits your load. If adding wireless keypads or remotes, always pair both receiver and transmitter on the same brand/frequency for consistent operation. For safety sensors, mounting height and field of view affect detection reliability on swing and sliding gates.

Installation and Sizing Notes (South Africa)

• Confirm operating temperature range - outdoor gates may be exposed to direct sun or frost
• Use weather-resistant enclosures for external accessories
• Allow for seasonal voltage variation and include surge protection where power is erratic (load shedding areas)
• Always use low-resistance cable for motor control and sensor signals
• Request a VAT invoice or quote for insurance/maintenance records if required
