Somfy ELIXO 3S M io 24V 600kg | Smart Sliding Gate Motor

Description

Somfy Elixo 3S io Cyprus is a professional sliding gate automation solution designed for residential and commercial entrances where reliability, security and convenient access control are essential.

Built for sliding gates weighing up to 600kg and measuring up to 8 metres, the ELIXO 3S M io combines a powerful 24V motor with professional 3S control electronics and Somfy’s io-homecontrol technology.

This makes it particularly suitable for villas, private residences, apartment entrances, offices, private parking areas and suitable commercial properties where dependable everyday gate operation is required.

Professional Automation for Sliding Gates up to 600kg

The ELIXO 3S M io is specifically engineered for rack-driven sliding gates.

With support for gates weighing up to 600kg and measuring up to 8 metres, it offers significantly greater installation flexibility than lightweight gate motors designed only for smaller residential entrances.

Performance is also designed around convenient everyday use. Under appropriate installation conditions, the system can open a 3-metre gate in approximately 15 seconds.

This balance between capacity and operating speed makes ELIXO suitable for properties where the entrance gate is used regularly throughout the day.

Powerful 24V Motor

At the heart of the system is a 24V motor designed for controlled and reliable sliding gate movement.

The automation operates from a 220–240V AC, 50/60Hz mains supply, with the motor itself operating at 24V.

Operating power consumption is approximately 130W, while standby consumption is approximately 8.6W.

The 24V architecture also allows the system to work with compatible backup power solutions, providing additional flexibility for installations where continued access during a mains power interruption is important.

Professional 3S Control Electronics

One of the key advantages of the ELIXO platform is its professional 3S electronics.

Rather than functioning as a basic open-and-close gate motor, the control system provides installers with extensive configuration possibilities.

Operating parameters can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the gate and the requirements of the installation.

The integrated control system also provides diagnostic information, operating status and cycle information, helping simplify commissioning and future maintenance.

This makes ELIXO particularly suitable for professionally installed gate automation systems where correct configuration and long-term serviceability matter.

io-homecontrol Smart Technology

The ELIXO 3S M io incorporates io-homecontrol radio technology operating in the 868–870MHz range.

This allows the gate motor to work within a compatible connected-home ecosystem rather than functioning only as an isolated gate automation system.

When combined with compatible smart-home equipment, users can integrate gate control into a broader property automation setup.

This is especially useful for properties where gate access, lighting, security and other automated equipment need to work together as part of a modern smart-home environment.

Automatic Obstacle Detection

Safety is an essential consideration for any motorised gate.

The ELIXO platform incorporates automatic obstacle detection, allowing the system to respond when an obstruction is detected during gate movement.

The installation can also be combined with appropriate safety accessories such as photocells and other compatible protection devices according to the requirements of the property.

Correct professional installation and configuration remain essential to achieving safe and reliable gate operation.

Convenient Pedestrian Opening

Opening an entire sliding gate is not always necessary.

The ELIXO 3S M io supports pedestrian opening, allowing partial gate movement when access is required for a person rather than a vehicle.

This is particularly convenient for residential properties where the main sliding gate is also regularly used as a pedestrian entrance.

Instead of completing a full opening cycle every time someone enters or leaves on foot, the system can provide more practical everyday access.

Backup Battery Compatibility

Power interruptions should not automatically mean losing convenient access through the main entrance.

The ELIXO platform supports a compatible backup battery, allowing an appropriately configured installation to continue operating during a mains power interruption.

This can be particularly useful for villas, private parking areas and commercial properties where the automated gate represents the primary vehicle entrance.

Backup battery availability depends on the final kit configuration and should not be assumed to be included unless specifically stated with the product.

Manual Release

The motor also provides an internal manual release mechanism.

If electrical operation is unavailable or manual movement becomes necessary, the gate can be disengaged according to the correct operating procedure.

This provides an additional level of redundancy for properties where the sliding gate is the main access point.

Magnetic Limit Stops

ELIXO uses magnetic limit stops to provide dependable end-of-travel detection.

Unlike basic mechanical arrangements that can be more exposed to dirt and environmental conditions, magnetic limit detection contributes to consistent gate positioning and reliable everyday operation.

This is particularly valuable for an outdoor automation system expected to operate throughout the year.

Built for Outdoor Gate Automation

The ELIXO 3S M io carries an IP44 protection rating and has a specified operating temperature range from approximately -20°C to +60°C. Somfy

This wide operating range makes the system well suited to outdoor installations, including the high summer temperatures encountered in Cyprus.

As with any professional gate automation system, correct installation, electrical protection, drainage and positioning remain important for long-term reliability.

Designed for Frequent Everyday Operation

The ELIXO platform is designed for more than occasional gate movement.

Manufacturer technical documentation specifies operation of up to approximately 30 cycles per day and testing to 55,000 opening/closing cycles. Somfy

This makes the system particularly attractive for properties where the entrance is used regularly by residents, employees or authorised vehicles.

Smart Expansion Possibilities

The ELIXO 3S M io can form the foundation of a more complete access-control installation.

Depending on the project requirements, the automation can be combined with compatible remote controls, photocells, warning lights, backup power and smart-home equipment.

This modular approach means the initial installation can be designed around current requirements while leaving room for future upgrades.

Technical Specifications

The key 600kg/8m capacity, IP44 rating, power figures, radio specifications and operating parameters above are supported by the current technical documentation. Somfy

Ideal Applications

The ELIXO 3S M io is suitable for a wide range of professional sliding gate installations, including:

• Villas and private residences
• Apartment and residential complexes
• Private parking entrances
• Office buildings
• Small commercial premises
• Controlled vehicle entrances

Its 600kg gate capacity provides substantial flexibility, while the smart automation platform makes it especially appropriate for properties where gate access may eventually become part of a wider connected security or smart-home system.
