The warranty shall not apply if the user fails to report the defect within the time specified, or if the parts returned as defective have been altered or repaired.

A hard wired system requires a wired connection through electrical wires and generally the control unit is close to the automation,  radio control does not require electrical connections between  the automation and control unit; commands are sent via remote control that takes advantage of the radio waves to send the signal.

24V technology maximises the potential of your automation both in terms of practicality and safety: in case of blackout the electronics recognises the fault and allows the activation of the emergency batteriesideal for intense use of the automation; ideal for intense use of the automation; customization of opening and closing and time and slowdown when closing for a silent approach of the leaf; provision for connection with the photovoltaic system Zero-E (only for Fast40, Gard 4, Gard 8);

All Came products bear the exclusive EN Tested system marking, which certifies that the solution has been produced and tested according to the rigorous criteria of the European Standards as regards impact force. This means greater safety for the user and greater ease of installation and maintenance for the installer.

The electrical system Bus is a mode of digital information transfer at high speed, as well as of electric current. A bus system is able to support home automation functions of a house. Its main characteristic is that unlike a normal electrical system in which each cable performs a precise function, the Bus line can streamline manage several devices. Also, the configuration of the devices to be managed can be changed without any problem, by acting directly on the control module.

A home automation system with proprietary protocol, such as Came, interfaces easily with any type of automation, including those of third-party, without requiring the intervention of a system integrator. Unlike systems with open protocol, it is not necessary to pay royalties and certifications. Furthermore, the HE! Came system integrates with various communication protocols: it communicates with the outside world using standard TCP / IP, it interfaces with devices using KNX protocol, with the DMX and Dali protocols used in lighting and, with the protocols of the companies Tutondo and Vivaldi operating in the the sound systems field.

The Bus system is applied both in restructuring and in newly built homes. The costs of a Bus installation, in the latter case, are minor compared to restructuring a plant. Compared to a traditional system, the cost of a bus system is higher and varies depending on the additions that are to be connected, but in the long run offers advantages for two reasons: the bus system increases the value of your home, also in relation to legislation on the classification of electrical installations; the ability to manage power consumption by optimising their use can save you money on your bills.

The term Home Automation indicates the integration of all home automation and applications into a single home automation control system. The Came home automation system allows you to integrate the automation of gates, rolling shutters and garage doors with the alarm, intercom, load control, temperature control systems and much more.

The movement of the awning may be stopped at any point you want, either manually or automatically by setting a preferred intermediate point (option on some electronic models).

The transmitter for the awnings is compatible with Came TAM technology for which you can control the operators equipped with this technology.

Certainly, using suitable accessories and components.

The motors must be equipped with a receiver, internal or external.

To program opening and closing times a timer must be installed.

You must size the automation according to the needs and characteristics of the awning, such as the dimensions, projection and the number of arms that support it. Ask our authorised installers for advice.

The main difference is the connection between the control devices and receivers: hard-wired units are cable connected. Radio systems use the transmission of radio waves to communicate.

Came proposes motors and accessories for powering most of the awnings on the market up to 5 meters of extension.

Safety, ease of use, comfort, energy savings, privacy are some of the benefits that automation can give you when it comes to windows and doors for your home. Moreover, thanks to the linearity and precision of movement, your awning remains intact over time.

Came is able to provide motors and accessories for automating any type of shutter.

Only those with vertical winding.

The transmitter for the shutters is compatible with Came TAM technology for which you can control the operators equipped with this technology. The same receiver can be matched both to the gate and the shutter.

The screen is a vertical shutter to limit solar radiation inside the premises. Typically the screen is a curtain that is wound on a tubular support, inside which an operator is installed.

Certainly, but the operator must be dimensioned according to the characteristics of the load to be lifted.

Certainly, using suitable accessories and components.

The movement of the shutter or the screen may be stopped at any point you want, either manually or automatically by setting a preferred intermediate point (option on some electronic models).

Certainly, as long as a roller curtain is vertical.

Functions are programmed by the installer in relation to needs expressed. The installer must give the instruction manual to the user and explain how to change the settings.

It depends on several factors, such as the surface of the shutter, its weight, and the customer requirements.

To program shutter or screen opening-closing times a timer must be installed.

1. Simultaneously press the two top buttons of the new transmitter (in case of model with 4-keys), until the LED flashes faster; 2. Press the button on which you want to enable the open command; 3. Within 10 seconds from "Phase 2", bring the already programmed transmitter close to the one still to be programmed by pressing the button that controls the replicate operation. After saving, the LED will flash 3 times; 4. Now the transmitter is ready to be used.

Certainly. You must configure the transmitter and in a few easy steps you're done. For example, in a common private dwelling, if owning a two-channel radio transmitter, it is possible to combine a channel for opening the gate and the other channel for the garage door.

All Came products for the automation of sliding and swing gates come with a release system to open and close your gate manually in case of power outage. The 24V versions also feature a handy card for connection to the back-up battery that allows for optimal operation in all situations.

All Came Products for the automation of sliding and swing gates can withstand temperatures up to 20 degrees below zero, while the internal components are isolated from external agents such as water and dust. In the case of heavy snowfalls, be sure to clear snow from the area affected by the movement of the gate to prevent the operator to block when finding the obstacle and the photocells not to be clearly visible.

Maintenance of automatic gates must be performed in accordance with the maintenance plan. Maintenance is the responsibility of the owner who becomes responsible for accidents or damage due to poor maintenance or lack thereof.
