CAME BKV15AGS, code 801MS-0300, is a drive for a large sliding gate leaf weighing up to 1,500 kg and measuring 20 m in length. It has a 36 V DC motor, a graphic display, four wired safety inputs and mechanical limit switches. The mains supply is 230 V AC. Consider the load capacity, length and actual resistance of the gate together.
Installation, mains wiring and commissioning must be carried out by a qualified technician. Disconnect the mains and any batteries before opening the unit or inserting cards. Check the BKV15AGS label, the ZBKN control board and the FW/GUI version in the Information menu. The settings below are for the graphic menu with the Motor type BKV1500 option. For a different version or menu, use its specific manual.
CAME BKV15AGS drive only
This manual is for the CAME BKV15AGS drive only (A). For the version with accessories, see the product page for the CAME BKV15AGS kit.
The 20 m value is the maximum gate-leaf length; do not confuse it with the clear opening width. The BKV15AGS uses mechanical limit switches. Magnetic limit switches and the clock card included with AGE versions are not standard equipment on the AGS.
Accessories and wiring examples
The following devices are specific examples for the wiring shown. Check the contents of the drive-only package and confirm which accessories are actually supplied in the specific offer; for a different model, use its own manual.
| Component | Example / application |
|---|---|
| Photocells | CAME DIR10, 12/24 V AC/DC; range 10 m, terminals and testing. |
| Flashing light | CAME KLED24, 24 V AC/DC, 2 W; wiring to 10–E. |
| Radio receiver | CAME AF43S and TOP-432EE, an example of fixed-code 433.92 MHz; verify coding compatibility with the control board settings. |
| Rack | Toothed racks, module 4 for this model. |
| Controls | Switches, push buttons and readers; volt-free NO commands and NC STOP input, as specified for the control board. |
Installing the BKV15AGS
Before installation, check that the gate moves easily and smoothly by hand along its entire travel path. The gate and its guide must be stable, level and secured against derailment. Check that there are fixed stops in both the open and closed positions, and guard against crushing, trapping and rack-engagement hazards. Mount the drive on a solid base, away from direct water flow. If the gate leaf has a pedestrian gate, movement may only be enabled when it is safely secured.
Foundation and anchor plate
The manufacturer's example uses an excavation measuring 500 × 280 mm and 800 mm deep with Ø 40 mm conduits. Adapt the foundation dimensions to the ground conditions and the specific gate; this is an installation example, not a universal foundation design. The formwork extends 50 mm above ground and contains steel reinforcement.
Insert the supplied M12 bolts into the plate and secure them with nuts. Bend the pre-formed anchor lugs and insert the plate into the reinforcement. The conduits must pass through its openings. Level the plate precisely; the threaded ends must remain above the concrete. The position relative to the rack is based on the dimensions 76 and 96 mm shown in the cross-section. Allow the concrete to cure for at least 24 hours.
Positioning and height adjustment
After removing the formwork, backfill around the foundation. Remove the anchor nuts and pull the cables out to about 600 mm above the plate. Remove the cover and position the drive; the cables pass through its base and sealed cable glands. Raise the drive using the threaded feet by 5–10 mm, leaving room to adjust the mesh.
Rack and 1–2 mm clearance
Release the drive and fit the module 4 rack while moving the gate by hand. When joining sections, place a spare rack section beneath the joint and use two clamps to ensure the teeth align smoothly. After fastening, adjust the height using the feet and the horizontal position using the slotted holes.
Leave 1–2 mm of clearance between the pinion and the rack. The gate's weight must not rest on the drive. Move the gate manually through its full travel, then, once adjusted, secure the drive to the plate using washers and nuts.
AGS mechanical limit switches
Open the gate manually. Fit the opening limit-switch stop onto the rack so that its ramp actuates the spring-loaded microswitch, then secure it with the supplied screws. Repeat the same procedure for the closing position. In the illustrated setup, approximately 20 mm of clearance is left before the fixed stop; check the run-on distance under the actual load. The gate’s fixed stop and the drive’s limit switch serve different purposes.
Wiring
| Circuit | Cross-section / requirement |
|---|---|
| 230 V AC mains | 3G × 1.5 mm² up to 20 m; 3G × 2.5 mm² for 20–30 m. |
| 24 V warning light | 2 × 1 mm² for the specified runs up to 30 m. |
| Photocells | TX 2 × 0.5 mm²; RX 4 × 0.5 mm², as shown in the full wiring diagram. |
| Control devices | Number of cores as required by the device; 0.5 mm² cross-section for the specified runs. |
| Antenna | RG58, maximum 5 m. |
| RSE / CRP | UTP CAT 5, maximum 1,000 m, subject to the requirements of the serial system. |
For longer runs or multiple loads, recalculate the cross-section based on current and voltage drop. Route the mains supply cable through its own cable gland, separately from the low-voltage circuits. Cables must not touch heated parts or be exposed to mechanical damage.
Manual release and re-engagement
First disconnect the power supply and secure the gate leaf against uncontrolled movement. Do not release a damaged or unbalanced gate unless it has been secured.
- Insert the key into the lock and turn it as shown in the top pair of illustrations.
- Open the release lever outward from the housing, in the direction of the arrow.
- Move the gate manually and in a controlled manner, keeping people clear of its path.
- To re-engage the mechanism, return the lever to its original position and lock it as shown in the bottom pair of illustrations.
- Before sending a motor command, check that the mechanism is locked again.
Orientation of the ZBKN control board
In the following illustration, the board is shown with the large capacitors at the top, the long terminal blocks at the bottom, and the programming buttons on the right. The graphic display and ESC/arrow/ENTER buttons are used for settings, diagnostics, and user management. Insert and remove cards only when the mains power and any batteries are disconnected.

BKV15AGS power supply and terminals
| Circuit / terminals | Voltage, polarity and limit |
|---|---|
| L / N / PE | Mains supply 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz. L is live, N is neutral, and PE is protective earth. AC has no positive or negative polarity. |
| Motor / internal control board supply | Motor 36 V DC, control board as specified in the technical table 26 V DC. These are internal circuits in the correct configuration, not an output for accessories. Keep the specified wiring; do not connect mains power or an external supply based on guesswork. |
| 10 / 11 | Accessories 24 V AC/DC, total maximum 20 W; typically 24 V AC. For DC 10 = positive (+), 11 = negative (−); AC has no fixed polarity. |
| 10 / E | Warning light 24 V AC/DC, max. 3 W. For DC, 10 is the positive common terminal and E is the switched output. |
| 10 / E3 | Auxiliary light 24 V AC/DC, max. 12 W; set the mode under Manage lights → Light E3. For DC, 10 is the positive common terminal and E3 is the switched output. |
| 10 / 5 | Status indication 24 V AC/DC, max. 3 W. For DC, 10 is the positive common terminal and 5 is the switched output. |
| B1 / B2 | Separate controlled contact with monostable or bistable mode. It does not supply power to accessories via 10/11; check the documentation for the specific control board for load connections and permitted ratings. |
| 10 / TS / 2 | Power supply and tested branch for photocells, and common terminal, as shown in the specific wiring diagram; TS is not a universal permanent negative output. |
Commands, STOP, safety and antenna
| Terminals | Function / contact |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | NC STOP. Stops the gate and disables automatic closing; a new command is required to move it again. If STOP is not used, disable Total stop. |
| 2–3 | NO, open-only command. |
| 2–3P | NO, partial opening. |
| 2–4 | NO, close-only command. |
| 2–7 | NO, step-by-step or sequential command, according to Command 2-7. |
| 2–CX / CY / CZ / CK | Four individually configurable safety inputs. If unused, disable; if used, configure according to the safety device. |
| S1 / GND | Transponder or reader with the corresponding R700 card. |
| A / B on readers | Keypad with R800; do not confuse these with the same letters used for the serial connection. |
| A / B / GND on RSE | Serial connection for a pair or CRP, depending on the relevant connector. |
| Antenna / AF | RG58 core for the antenna signal; connect the shield to the marked earth terminal as shown. Plug the radio card into AF. |
NO/NC commands and safety contacts are voltage-free and have no +/− polarity. The accessory power supply and its output contact are separate circuits. Do not connect 230 V to the command terminals.
Flashing light and auxiliary light
CAME KLED24 is rated at 24 V AC/DC and 2 W, so connect it to 10–E within the 3 W limit. Its input is not marked separately with +/−; polarity does not matter with AC, while with DC, 10 is the board's positive common terminal. Do not connect the 230 V version of the flashing light here. E3 is a separate light output with a 12 W limit; do not confuse E with E3.
DIR10 photocells and testing via TS
The example is for CAME DIR10: TX/RX pair, 10 m range, 12/24 V AC/DC power supply. Set the RX jumper to 24 V. The pair draws 60 mA at 24 V AC. RX has terminals 10 (+), 2 (−), TX, C and NC. TX has terminals TX and 2, with no separate +/− markings in the original diagram. With AC, DC polarity does not apply.
| DIR10 terminal | Standard | With testing |
|---|---|---|
| RX10 (+) | Board 10 | Board 10 |
| RX2 (−) and RX C | Board 2 | Board 2 |
| RX TX ↔ TX TX | Connect between RX and TX | Same connection |
| TX2 | Board 2 | Board TS |
| RX NC | Board CX | Board CX |
The C–NC contact has no polarity. In this synchronized diagram, RX2 and C are connected to board terminal 2, not 11. Connect RX TX to TX TX; do not replace this connection with a direct power supply from board terminal 10. Set C1 on CX to reopen during closing.
Activating the safety test
With the power off, move the TX2 wire to TS; RX2/C remain on terminal 2, and the TX connection between RX and TX remains in place. Then go to Configuration → Wired safety devices → Safety devices test activate the test and the corresponding safety input. If the test fails, resolve the issue with the power supply, wiring or configuration; never permanently bypass the safety device.
Safety edges and four inputs
Configure CX, CY, CZ and CK separately. An NC safety edge uses a C–NC contact with no polarity, for example as shown in the DFWN diagram. For a resistive safety edge, select the appropriate R7/R8 mode and the actual 8K2 wiring; a pair of edges has its own setting and wiring. Do not confuse a resistive safety edge with a standard NC contact.
For a pair of DFWN NC safety edges, both contacts in the left-hand diagram are connected separately: C of both edges to board terminal 2, NC of one to CX and NC of the other to CY. The manufacturer recommends this wiring and identifies it as parallel; configure each input separately. On the right, the NC contacts are wired in series to one input: board terminal 2 → C of the first edge, NC of the first edge → C of the second, NC of the second → board terminal CX. These are DFWN contact diagrams, not 8K2 resistive safety edge diagrams.
Initial start-up and direction check
- Check the mechanism, stops, rack, cables, release locking and clearance.
- After switching on, follow the graphical display wizard. For this drive, select Motor type → BKV1500; changing the type does not alter the physical load capacity.
- Set the direction under Configuration → Motor settings → Opening direction. The default direction is to the left.
- In the Motor test function, the > button closes and the < button opens. If the direction is wrong, correct it in the menu; do not swap the wires by guesswork.
- Set STOP, all connected safety inputs and any applicable test, then run travel learning.
- Check the full cycle, partial opening, all safety devices, lights, radio and behaviour after a power failure.
The first normal movement after power-up is opening; wait for it to finish. If there is unusual behaviour, noise or vibration, stop immediately and resolve the cause.
BKV automatic travel learning
Before learning, set the mechanical limit switches, fixed stops, BKV1500 type and direction correctly. The drive must be secured and the entire movement area clear. A technician must supervise the entire procedure; no one may enter the travel path.
- Open Configuration → Motor settings → Travel calibration.
- When prompted with Confirm?, select YES and press ENTER.
- Let the complete learning wizard shown on the specific board run; do not issue another command prematurely.
- When complete, check the positions, slowdowns and operation of all safety devices. If Calibration error appears, first remove the obstruction or fix the mechanical fault, then repeat the learning procedure.
This graphical board is programmed using menu names. Do not transfer the numeric A1/A3 settings or ZN7 settings from another product range to this one.
Programming via the graphic display
ENTER opens the menu and confirms the selection. < and > scroll through the items and change the value. ESC cancels an unconfirmed change, goes back, exits the menu, or stops movement. Program the unit while the drive is stationary, and save the current settings before making changes.

Storing and managing remote controls
For the graphical menu described above, the capacity is 250 users. The AF slot requires a receiver with the correct frequency and encoding; one example is AF43S with TOP-432EE. Matching frequencies alone do not confirm compatibility.
- Open Manage users → New user.
- Select the required function and confirm with ENTER.
- Transmit the code using the selected button on the remote control.
- Repeat the procedure for each additional button or user, record the number and command, and test the actual operation.
To delete an individual user, select Remove user; to delete everyone, select Remove all. Radio decoding → Rolling code or TW Key block erases transmitters previously stored with a different encoding. Do not try this option unless you have a record of the existing remote controls.
Parameter reset and full factory reset
Information → Parameter reset restores the factory parameters but retains Radio decoding, Motor type, and travel calibration settings. Save the configuration before confirming, then check the direction, safety devices, timings, and operating tests after the reset. To delete all users, use the separate option Manage users → Remove all. After every reset, also verify the stored remote controls.
Recovery after forgetting the password requires a different, full reset. This erases stored users, timings, and calibration. This should be performed by a technician capable of safely recommissioning the entire system.
- Disconnect power to the control board, including any batteries.
- Press and hold < and > simultaneously, then restore power in accordance with the service procedure.
- Hold the buttons until Factory reset appears, select Confirm YES, and press ENTER.
- Set the correct model and direction again, configure all safety devices, carry out the learning procedure, and add users; perform complete tests before operation.
Backing up and loading a Memory Roll
- Disconnect the mains and batteries, then insert the Memory Roll into the marked connector.
- After powering on, select Configuration → External memory → Save data or Read data.
- Saving/loading includes users, timings, and configuration. Loading may overwrite the board's existing data.
- When complete, disconnect the power and remove the Memory Roll. After restoring, verify the model, direction, all safety devices, and commands.
These items appear when memory is connected. Use the documented Memory Roll connector; do not connect a USB device to another connector just because the function has a similar name.
In the image, the Memory Roll is marked with the number 23 on the actual ZBKN board.
Two operators in MASTER–SLAVE mode
Insert RSE cards into RSE_1 on both boards and connect A–A, B–B, and GND–GND using UTP CAT5 cable, as shown in the diagram. Accessories and control devices connect to the MASTER, where users are also stored. On the MASTER, select Paired in the wizard or in the RSE1 settings; the second operator becomes the SLAVE. The partial command operates the MASTER according to the original diagram; the shared opening command operates both leaves.
If RSE_1 is used for pairing, CRP uses RSE_2. CAME KEY cannot be connected in this configuration. Do not confuse identical A/B labels on different interfaces.
Troubleshooting display messages
| Message | Check / procedure |
|---|---|
| Calibration error | Learning interrupted by an obstacle; remove the cause and check the mechanism. |
| The Encoder does not work | The encoder is disconnected or damaged; with the power off, check its specific connector and wiring. |
| Service test failure error | Obstacle detected at the photocells, incorrect wiring/configuration, or a faulty photocell; check the TS test. |
| Door lock open | The operator is released; check that the lever is secured. |
| Maximum number of closing / opening obstacles / obstacles | The maximum number of consecutive obstacles has been exceeded; remove the resistance or resolve the safety-device trigger. |
| Communication error | The RSE port is incorrectly configured; check the connection and mode. |
| Incompatible remote control | The transmitter, encoding, or TWIN KEY BLOCK is not compatible. |
| Slave door open | The SLAVE operator is released. |
| No communication from the RIO system | The RIO module is missing from the connector or is faulty. |
| RIO system not configured | The wireless system or its devices are not configured. |
Information → Errors list stores the last 8 errors. Record the status and FW/GUI before clearing them. If the gate does not move, check the mains supply, fuses, release mechanism, STOP input, safety devices, and any command that is continuously active. If it opens but does not close, check the photocells and the settings for the relevant input. Do not bypass a safety device with a permanent jumper.
Fuses for 230 V BKV15AGS
| Circuit | Fast-acting fuse |
|---|---|
| Mains | 2 A F |
| Control board | 630 mA F |
| Accessories | 1.6 A F |
Check the fuses with the mains power and batteries disconnected. Replace them only with fuses of the same type and rating, and first eliminate the cause of the short circuit or overload.
Maintenance and servicing
Every 10,000 cycles and at least every 6 months check that screws/nuts are tight, inspect the wear and operation of moving parts, lubricate the relevant mechanical points, and check warning and safety devices, the manual release, cables, guide rail and rack. Disconnect the power supply and batteries before carrying out any work. After an extended shutdown, check that the system is fully operational once mains power has been restored.
The manufacturer specifies an MCBF of 250,000 cycles for the BKV15 at 20 m/1,500 kg; in windy areas, the stated figure is reduced by 15%. This is a reference figure for the mean number of cycles between failures, not a maintenance-free interval or a guarantee of the service life of every gate. Set the service reminder in Information → Set up maintenance and reset it only after servicing has been completed.
After adjustment, close the control board guard, cover and all fasteners. Check the forces and safety functions of the entire gate, show the user how to operate the manual release, and provide the manuals for the complete assembly. Take electronic equipment and batteries to a designated collection point when disposing of them.
