SOMMER base+
Intelligent garage door operator
The SOMMER base+ garage door operator features our most advanced garage door control unit with various optimised speed profiles and the option of precision setting of the operating forces. The garage door operator also learns continuously and automatically and adjusts the door operation accordingly.
Product advantages
What makes our operators so powerful is the ingenious technology. Our motors are not statically fixed to one point; they travel along a stationary, tensioned chain. This ensures optimal application of force with maximum safety at all times.
Intelligent control technology
The system continuously reads in the required force and adapts it to the external conditions, thus providing the highest level of safety.
Certified quality
Our garage door operators are tested and certified according to the strictest guidelines. You can be assured that our products are of the highest "Made in Germany" quality. More than 5,000 door-operator combinations with SOMMER garage door operators and doors from well-known manufacturers are certified. You can find the current reference list under Certifications.
LED lighting
The LED lighting integrated into the motor carriage is equipped with six individual LEDs, ensuring optimum lighting in the garage.
Numerous expansions
The modular system structure makes it possible to expand the garage door operators with countless accessories.
Restriction of closing forces
The system monitors the closing forces in accordance with EN 12453 via electronic motor monitoring. This control mechanism provides maximum safety.
Emergency release
Thanks to the integrated emergency release system, the motor carriage can be engaged and disengaged in any position. This makes it possible to open the garage even in the event of a power failure.
Environmental and cost efficiency
In power-saving mode, these energy-saving operators have a power consumption of lees than one watt. This not only makes then inexpensive to operate, but also extremely environmentally-friendly.
Safety thanks to encrypted radio control system SOMloq2
Thanks to the bidirectional SOMloq2 radio control system, the operators can be controlled conveniently via radio. The 128-bit AES encryption with Rollingcode provides maximum protection of data against hackers.
Universal use with various door types
Our operators are suitable for sectional doors, overhead doors, up-and-over doors, one piece doors, side-opening sectional doors and side-opening doors. The SOMMER pro+ is also suitable for use on hinged double doors.
Emergency power supply in the event of a power failure
During a power failure, the operator can be run in emergency mode with our optional Accu, meaning that your door will never fail.
Smooth-running and long-lasting
Thanks to the gear-saving technology, the garage door operator is extremely quiet, low-wear and has a very long lifetime.

Lock
Magnet motor lock which mechanically blocks the motor in any position (even with ventilation function) up to an attack force of 300 kg, thereby improving the existing break-in protection.
# 1651V000
Senso
For recording temperature and air humidity in the garage. The carriage automatically opens the door a bit if necessary (e.g. when the air humidity is too high), ensuring perfect circulation. When the optimal value has been achieved, the door is closed, reducing the risk of mould formation.
# 10371
Memo
Used to expand the memory to 450 transmitter commands. During service, saved data can be easily adopted for a new carriage.
# 10373
Lumi+
Additional LED lighting for the roof control. It is switched in parallel with the lighting in the carriage and can be easily
switched on and off using the light function by means of a transmitter.
# 7041V000
Buzzer
Two functions in one product: The alarm buzzer recognises a break-in attempt and outputs a loud signal tone. The warning buzzer, on the other hand, outputs an acoustic signal during the closing process or when the slip door is open.
# 7043V000
Laser
Gives optical assistance for perfectly positioning a vehicle in the garage. The laser is active during the opening process and the set light burning time.
# 10378
Relay
Additional relay for additional switching of a garage or courtyard light or another 230 V consumer.
# 7042V000
Motion
A passive infrared sensor detects invisible thermal radiation from moving bodies (people/animals etc.) and reacts. When you enter the garage, the lighting on the operator is automatically switched on (supplemental lighting/relay) so that you can move around safely.
# S10343-00001
Accu
Supplies energy to the operator for maximum 5 door cycles > in the event of a power failure.
# S10523-00001
Conex
