Control unit BFT Thalia BT A80 DUO 24V 2 channels — gate/door automation control module

The BFT Thalia BT A80 DUO 24V control unit is an automation module designed for managing two independent motor channels in gate and door systems. Operating at 24 volts, it coordinates motor control, safety device inputs and remote commands to provide consistent performance in residential and light commercial settings. The unit is compatible with BFT Thalia peripherals and is intended to streamline wiring and system integration while maintaining clear separation between channels for flexible installation layouts.

Advantages

This control module offers dual-channel operation that allows two motors or two separate moving elements to be managed independently, reducing the need for separate controllers. Its 24V design improves safety for low-voltage installations and provides stable power for smooth motor operation. The unit supports connections for safety devices and remote control interfaces, facilitating compliance with basic safety requirements and enabling convenient system management. Designed for straightforward integration with Thalia ecosystem accessories, it simplifies cabling and setup for installers.

Suitable for

• Residential swing or sliding gates requiring two-channel control
• Small commercial doors where independent control of two motors is needed
• Installations that use BFT Thalia peripherals and remote-control devices
• Replacement or upgrade of single-channel controllers to achieve dual control

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 24 V DC
• Two independent motor control channels
• Inputs for safety devices (e.g., photocells, edge sensors)
• Interfaces for remote control and accessory connections
• Designed for residential and light commercial automation applications

How to use

Install the control unit in a dry, ventilated electrical enclosure near the motors and accessory wiring. Connect the 24V supply, then wire each motor to its dedicated output channel following manufacturer polarity and grounding guidelines. Attach safety devices such as photocells and safety edges to the appropriate input terminals and configure input types according to the installation manual. Pair or connect remote-control peripherals through the supported interfaces, and set travel/limit parameters and soft-start or slowing functions as required by the driven equipment. Perform functional and safety tests after wiring to confirm independent channel operation and correct response to safety inputs.

Recommendations

Use the control unit with compatible BFT Thalia motors and accessories to ensure full feature compatibility. Maintain proper separation of power and control wiring, protect connections from moisture, and follow local electrical codes. Schedule periodic inspections of safety device wiring and motor settings to preserve reliable operation.
