STArter S2 / STArter S2+

Intelligent sliding gate operators with impressive travel dynamics
The intelligent sliding gate operators in the STArter S2 range are the ideal operators for small to medium-sized sliding gates. Their intelligent control offers a wide range of connection options. In addition to convenient operation via radio control system, they can be integrated into the Smart Home systems SOMweb and Delta Dore. Sliding gate operator STArter S2+ provides an added advantage when it comes to gate weight, movement range and speed.

Ready for a smart home
One control unit, a wide range of connection options
Photocells and other safety devices are automatically recognised by the control unit. LEDs on the inputs and outputs display the connection statuses visually. If required, the gate can be additionally secured on the outside and inside by integrating a second safety input.

Radio system SOMloq2

Secure encryption
The future-proof SOMloq2 radio control system offers maximum data protection against hackers thanks to 128-bit AES encryption with rolling code.
Repeating radio signal
The auto-repeat function ensures convenient opening while approaching the building. The output radio signal repeats in a certain cycle to permit optimal availability.
Feedback and gate position
The SOMloq2 bidirectional radio control system transmits radio signals in both directions. If the function is supported by the transmitter, the operator confirms receipt of commands or allows querying of the position of the sliding gate.
High radio range
An innovative hop function extends the range, as radio signals are forwarded from SOMloq2 receivers.
Also for existing SOMMER operators
Transmitters with the SOMloq2 radio control system are backward compatible with the Somloq Rollingcode radio system, making it possible to control existing operators and radio receivers.
Quick and easy installation

Intelligent control technology
In addition, features and parameters can be configured via smartphone, tablet or laptop with the SOMlink S2 service interface for specialist retailers.
Horizontal control unit
The horizontally installed control unit guarantees easy access to the connections. All control elements are directly visible. For easier identification, the pluggable terminals are colour-coded.
Installation and initial operation of sliding gate operators STArter S2 and STArter S2+
The advantages at a glance
Additional equipment
The modular system structure enables the sliding gate operators of the STArter S2 product range to be expanded with numerous accessories. All accessories are very easy to assemble because the slots are color-coded and also precisely labeled.
Memo

Expands the memory of the handheld transmitter to 450 handheld transmitter commands. Allows the use of the Codemaster S2 transmitter management.
Relay

Relay with potential-free changeover contact for activating external lighting or querying the opening status.
Output OC

Open collector output for transmission of a static signal for display of the opening status to Smart Home systems or for activation of additional LED lighting with 24 V.
HomeLink radio receiver module

With the HomeLink radio receiver, the operator can be upgraded to the HomeLink radio control system. The operator can then be controlled with a HomeLink transmitter integrated in the vehicle.
Delta Dore X3D module

The module Integrates the operator into the Delta Dore Smart Home system. This allows you to control and query the position of the operator via the Tydom app from Delta Dore.
Buzzer

Alarm or warning buzzer that outputs an acoustic signal reporting a break-in attempt or during the closing process.
Wallstation

With the 3-command interior wall switch, you can open, stop and close the gate or use the holiday function for added security in your home.

With optional accessories, the intelligent sliding gate operators can be controlled from a smartphone, tablet or PC. In order to operate the STArter S2 or STArter S2+ via Smart Home, you need the SOMweb Smart Home solution or a Delta Dore X3D module.
If a SOMweb is installed, the sliding gate operator can be added in the app. With the Delta Dore X3D module, you can integrate the sliding gate operator into the existing Smart Home system from Delta Dore.
The operator only functions with a connected photocell.
With the optional HomeLink radio receiver module, the sliding gate operators STArter S2 and STArter S2+ are compatible with HomeLink.
The predecessor models STArter and STArter+ can be simply replaced with a STArter S2 or STArter S2+. The mounting points, the pinion and the pinion height are identical to the predecessor model. You will need to replace the handheld transmitters if they are not compatible with the SOMloq2 radio system.
