Deimos BT B400 is a set of high-tech Italian BFT automation for sliding gates with a leaf weight of up to 400 kg, 24V drive power supply technology, and magnetic limit switches.

Designed for residential (private) use or small collective driveways for up to 20 users.

The PRO control board allows you to configure any safety and automation control scenarios. Using additional inputs/outputs, you can control the automation from your phone via third-party devices, such as the AFT Dry Wi-Fi relay. If you purchase additional convenience in the form of the SL BAT2 emergency power supply module, which is compatible with this model, you won't have to manually unlock the gates during a power outage to drive in or out. For collective driveways, you can program automatic opening and closing of the gates while the power is out using the special BATT CONFIG logic function available on the MERAK BT A control board right out of the box!

This is an updated 2025 model of the previous DEIMOS ULTRA BT A400 model.

What technologies and features have appeared in the new model? Let's list them:

1. Increased speed by 30% from 12 to 16 m/min

2. New low-consumption power supply with VERDE ®️ technology in BT models (stabilized DC 24V on output terminals 50-51-52 for powering accessories)

3. Updated control board

4. Slot for the EBT expansion card for control board inputs/outputs in ULTRA models (sold separately)

5. Increased receiver memory from 63 to 128 remote controls

6. Removable receiver memory in ULTRA models for easily transferring recorded users to a new board, moving to another location, or expanding the memory card up to 2048 REM 2048 remotes

7. U-Security ®️ technology in updated automation receivers, featuring encryption that makes it impossible to copy BFT remotes

8. U-Link 2.0 ®️ technology with special connectors on the control board for B-EBA WiFi, GSM, and Bluetooth expansion cards to control automation via smartphone (EasyAXS app for installers and TaHoma by Somfy for end users)

9. D-Track ®️ technology, an intelligent torque management and obstacle detection system

10. Dedicated space inside the housing for the SL BAT2 emergency power supply module in BT models

11. DIN rail for accessories

12. Added rear ventilation grille

13. Option to install additional heating for very low operating temperatures (new accessory)

14. 100% compatibility of mounting dimensions with previous DEIMOS A models

Package Includes

The ARES BT B1500 KIT is a high-tech Italian automated system by BFT designed for sliding gates with a leaf weight of up to 1,500 kg, featuring a 24V operator power supply and magnetic limit switches.

Engineered for intensive industrial (multi-user/collective) applications, it offers an extended operating lifespan compared to residential series.

The PRO control board is built for true professionals, allowing you to configure custom safety and automation management scenarios. With additional I/O terminals, you can control the system via third-party smartphone devices (GSM modules, Wi-Fi relays, etc.), turn on yard lighting using the remote control, integrate with complex fire safety systems, and implement many other scenarios. If you opt for the extra comfort of the SL BAT2 emergency power supply module compatible with this model, you won't need to manually unlock the gate during a power outage to enter or exit. For collective entrances, you can program automatic opening and closure during power outages using the special BATT CONFIG logic function, available out of the box on the MERAK BT A control board!

Moreover, U-Security technology delivers 100% secure two-way encryption for user remote controls, making them impossible to clone or copy! Parking lot owners can rest assured that unauthorized persons ("piggybackers") cannot breach the premises using remote-cloning scams common with cheaper alternatives from other brands.

PHOBOS BT B25 KIT swing gate automation kit for gates with a leaf weight up to 500 kg and length up to 3 m, equipped with the ZARA BT A80 control board with DIP switches.

Non-reversible, linear operator with a 330 mm rod stroke.

Recommended for standard inward-opening installations.

⚠️ Warning! If the leaf length exceeds 2 meters, installing an EBP BT A 24V vertical electric lock is mandatory to reduce wind load and provide additional locking in the closed position.

This is the updated 2024 model, replacing the PHOBOS BT A25 → now PHOBOS BT B25.

What’s new?

1. 🧲 Magnetic limit switches have been moved to the top of the housing for easier setup during installation. BFT's patented reverse haptic feedback (vibration) technology 📳 for limit switch triggering has been added, making the installation process even simpler.

   This increased the operator's rod stroke from 290 mm to 330 mm, allowing gate leaves to open up to 120° instead of the 116° offered by the previous model. And that’s not all! The maximum weight capacity has increased from 400 kg to 500 kg by expanding the travel distance between open and closed positions (working rod stroke) while maintaining the exact same outer dimensions as its predecessor!

2. 📐 The front mounting bracket has been redesigned and improved, providing smoother operator travel in both manual and automatic modes.

3. 😎 The updated high-tech design retains its classic aesthetic—a trademark of BFT swing gate automation in the KUSTOS and PHOBOS product lines.

4. 🔐 Added the ability to install optional AMIP mechanical stops mounted directly on the motor housing, which additionally secure the gate leaves in the open or closed position and reduce wind load on the gear motor.

An exclusive manufacturer solution—the proprietary BFT Easy Set app—is a visualization calculator designed for precise calculation of BFT swing automation installation geometry. We recommend using this free installer assistant, available for download on Android and iOS app stores.

The ZARA BT A80 control board features the following technologies and functions:

1. DIP switches and trimmers (adjustable potentiometers) interface for configuring parameters and control board functions.

2. U-Security — new encryption technology to protect remote control codes from cloning. Maximum security for your driveway! For shared or communal use, it serves as an extra guarantee against unauthorized entry.

3. Verde — new energy-saving technology, consuming only 0.5W in standby mode.

4. Expanded memory module capacity — increased from 63 to 128 users. Furthermore, it is now removable, allowing saved remotes to be backed up and transferred if the control board is damaged.

5. U-Link 2.0 — now equipped with an expansion port to connect both new and previous-generation smart expansion cards. This enables remote automation management and setting adjustments right from your smartphone, wherever you are.

6. Additional input/output expansion slot for connecting the programmable EBT expansion board — enables the connection of a second pair of photocells, increases input/output terminals for broader control scenarios, and allows connection of the EBP BT A 24V electric lock (functionality missing in the previous ZARA BTL2 board).

7. D-Track — patented technology for automatic drive force adjustment and obstacle detection, offering an additional safety layer against impacts or pinching vehicles, people, or pets.

8. Supports connection of the BBT BAT CBOX FLAT battery backup module, ensuring gate operation even during a 230V power outage.

9. Automatic closing function based on timer settings or after passing through photocells.

10. Command lockout function during the gate opening phase (ideal for safe shared/communal use).
