DNOR Model 712

The original DNOR arm motor — the machine that built the brand, still going strong on gates across three nations.

2 / 4-channel remote
Dual-speed adjustment
72-hour backup battery

The Model 712 is where DNOR began: the brand’s first arm motor, launched in 2010, and still in production because it simply keeps working. A side-mounted arm system with infrared sensor and 2- or 4-channel remote, it carries the widest working temperature range in the arm series — 0°C to 80°C — a legacy of being over-engineered from day one.

Speed adjustment cushions the gate’s opening and closing, an Allen key opens the gate manually during outages, and the rechargeable backup battery covers blackouts. Designed to last up to 10 years with regular basic care, many first-generation 712s are still on duty.

Why choose the 712 over the newer 212?
