We're hiring a Technical Support Engineer!

You're the person installers get through to when they're stood at a gate with a problem. Answering the phone, diagnosing the fault, talking them through the fix. That is most of the job. The rest is repairing everything that comes back to us, motors, control boards, all GIBIDI equipment, and running the hands-on installer training days.

You need hands-on gate, barrier or access control experience, and to fault-find by logic rather than guesswork. We'll teach you the product range.

Goudhurst, Kent. Mon to Fri, 8am to 5pm.

Send us your CV to find out more or if you know someone, send them our way.

Every PASS handover should end with this, and it takes about a minute 🔧

The manual release is key operated, and it goes like this.

🔹 Rotate the unlocking device cover and put the key into the cylinder
🔹 Turn the key 90° clockwise, without forcing it. A spring pushes the key out a few millimetres
🔹 Rotate the unlocking device a full 180° to the left. The gate now moves by hand

To reset it, return the handle to its starting position, push the key forward, turn it anticlockwise and remove it.

One thing worth showing the customer rather than telling them. If the key is not pushed completely forward it will not turn and it will not come out, and that is the call you get on a Sunday.

Walk them through it once before you leave site.

PASS 800 or PASS 1000? The weight limit is the obvious difference. The duty cycle is the one that actually decides it.

🔹 PASS 800, up to 800kg, 20Nm max torque, 350W, max 1.5A
🔹 PASS 1000, up to 1000kg, 24Nm max torque, 450W, max 2A
🔹 Both run at 0.16m/s with electronic torque regulation and IP55 protection

Here is the part worth pausing on. At 20°C the PASS 800 is rated 60% Fu and the PASS 1000 is rated 40%. %Fu is the share of a cycle the motor can spend running, the rest being pause, so the smaller motor takes more back to back operations before it needs to rest.

Size on the weight of the leaf first. Then check the duty cycle against how often that entrance really cycles, because a heavy gate is not automatically a job for the 1000.

If you are a trade installer, open an account or contact our team for technical details.

Two clearances decide whether a PASS runs sweetly, and both are set before you power anything up.

2mm between pinion and rack. Lower the operator and lock it off with that gap, so the weight of the leaf never rests on the gearmotor shaft.

2-4mm of height on the mounting nuts. The gearmotor sits high while the rack goes on, and dropping it at the end is what gives you that 2mm.

Then, with the rack fitted, open and close the gate by hand a few times and feel for friction. Every bind you find at that point is a callback you do not get later.

PASS 800 and PASS 1000. Two irreversible gearmotors for sliding gates, sized on the weight of the leaf ⚙️

✅ Max gate weight, 800kg on the PASS 800 and 1000kg on the PASS 1000
✅ Max torque, 20Nm and 24Nm
✅ Max speed 0.16m/s on both
✅ 230Vac, electronic torque regulation, IP55
✅ Operating range -20°C to +60°C with a thermal cutout at 140°C

Worth knowing before you quote: the PASS 800 carries the higher duty cycle, 60% against 40% at 20°C. On a gate that sits well inside the 800kg limit, the smaller motor is often the better fit for a busy entrance.

Both are available with or without the control unit, which makes it easier to build the system to EN 12453.
