BFT Zara BT L2 Control Unit (Compatible Control Board for Phobos BT A25/A40 24V DC Motor)

BFT Zara BT L2 Control Board — Phobos BT Series 24V DC Motor Control Unit

BFT Zara BT L2 is a professional-grade control unit designed specifically for 24V DC-driven swing gate motors such as the BFT Phobos BT A25 and BFT Phobos BT A40. Powered by a 230V AC mains supply, the board provides 2 x 24V DC independent outputs to the motor, enabling both leaves of a double-wing gate to be managed separately and in a coordinated manner. The unit features dedicated input terminals for safety devices such as photocells, stop buttons, and safety edges, while lamp, lock, and flasher driver outputs are included as standard on the board. Thanks to its IP54 protection rating, the board operates reliably in damp and dusty enclosure environments, and with a wide operating temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, it delivers uninterrupted performance throughout all seasons. Replacement of the control unit is typically required in cases of programming loss, faults triggering motor load errors, photocell or safety inputs becoming unresponsive, or damage to the driver circuits on the board.

Replacing the BFT Zara BT L2 control unit is of INTERMEDIATE difficulty. Since all cable connections on the board must be disconnected and reconnected to the new board using the same terminal layout, it is essential to photograph or note the existing wiring diagram before proceeding. Furthermore, after replacement, parameters such as automatic closing time, slow-start/slow-stop ramps, and motor torque limits must be reconfigured via the LCD display; therefore, it is recommended that the procedure be carried out by individuals with basic automation knowledge and technical experience, or with the support of an authorised service technician.

This control unit is an original OEM spare part manufactured by BFT S.p.A. The Italy-based BFT Group has been one of the world's leading manufacturers of automatic gate and barrier systems since 1981, and the Zara BT L2 is produced through BFT's own quality assurance processes. The use of original parts directly affects signal compatibility between the motor and control board, the validity of warranty conditions, and the long-term reliability of the system.
