GateGuardX on TAU gates.
The short answer: if your TAU gate has a motor and opens on a signal, the way a keypad or remote does, and nearly all do, GateGuardX works with it. No rebuild, no replacement, installed in about half a day.
TAU Srl is an Italian manufacturer of gate and door automation based in Sandrigo, in the province of Vicenza. Its product range covers operators for sliding gates (up to 4000 kg), swing gates with leaves up to 6 m, automatic barriers, and garage and industrial doors, in 12 V, 230 V AC and 400 V AC versions. The company exports its products to over 90 countries and serves residential, apartment-building and commercial applications.
(In the gate trade, an “operator” is simply the motor that opens the gate.)
TAU makes sliding, swing, barrier and overhead gates, and the same simple rule covers them all.
Common TAU models include T-ONE, MASTER, BIG, ARM. Whether it works is determined by what's on the control board, not the model name, so send two photos and we confirm yours specifically.
It triggers your gate motor, it doesn't replace it.
- We wire to the same terminals your remotes use, often inside the motor housing.
- Your keypad, intercom, and remotes keep working as fallbacks.
- Your gate's own safety features (photo-eyes, safety edges, auto-reverse, to the UL 325 standard) stay fully in charge of the moving gate. We never bypass a safety device.
- No digging, no reconstruction, fully reversible.
Is TAU a supported brand?
Yes, TAU is on our verified-brands list. Whether any specific gate works still comes down to what's on its control board, so we confirm yours from two photos, within 48 hours.
Do I need to replace my TAU gate or gate motor?
No. GateGuardX installs on the gate you already have, a small controller tells your existing gate motor to open, exactly like a keypad or remote does.
What if I can't find a dry-contact input?
Most control boards have one, often labeled for a keypad, intercom, or remote. If yours doesn't, a small relay add-on provides it. Send a photo of the board and we'll point to the exact terminals.
Will it conflict with my keypad, intercom, or remotes?
No, GateGuardX adds a trigger alongside what you already have. Keep your keypad, intercom, and remotes as fallbacks; the plate reader simply becomes the primary way in.
Confirm your TAU gate in 48 hours.
