- Radar Sensors: High-performance radar sensors ensuring accurate and responsive door activation.
Dual threshold and safety sensors are specifically designed to detect both movement toward a door and a person or object’s presence in the door’s threshold area, ensuring maximum safety.
How They Work
These sensors use combined radar and infrared (IR) technology. The radar detects approaching pedestrians and triggers the door to open, while the infrared sensor continuously scans the threshold area for stationary or slow-moving objects. If a person or obstacle remains within this area, the sensor prevents the door from closing, maintaining safety compliance.
Typical Applications
- Supermarkets and retail entrances
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Airports and transportation hubs
Action
- Activation: Radar detection signals the door to open.
- Safety Check: Infrared detection prevents door closure when an obstacle is detected in the doorway.
Side screen sensors protect the area adjacent to sliding doors, ensuring safety when doors are open and reducing collision risks.
How They Work
These sensors primarily use infrared detection, creating a protective field beside the open door panel. They ensure that people standing close to the door’s path are detected, preventing the door from opening to fast.
Typical Applications
- Commercial retail spaces
- Office buildings
- Public and healthcare facilities
Action
- Safety Monitoring: IR sensors continuously monitor the side screen area.
- Door Control: Stops or reverses the door when a person or object is detected nearby.
On-door safety sensors are mounted directly on swing doors, detecting presence in the swing path and eliminating collision risks during door operation.
How They Work
These sensors use active infrared technology to create a detection field along the door’s swing path. If a person or object is detected, the sensor sends an immediate signal to slow, stop, or reverse the door’s motion.
Typical Applications
- Hospitals and care homes
- Public buildings
- Schools and universities
Action
- Detection: IImmediate sensing of obstacles within the swing path.
- Safety Response: Door movement is halted or reversed instantly..
Laser sensors use precise and advanced laser technology to provide highly accurate detection, suitable for both safety and activation purposes in swing doors.
How They Work
Laser sensors emit beams to precisely map a three-dimensional detection zone around a door. Any interruption in the laser field (such as movement or stationary presence) triggers the sensor, providing accurate activation or preventing door closure.
Typical Applications
- High-security entrances
- High-traffic areas requiring precise detection
- Industrial and healthcare environments
Action
- Precise Detection: Identifies small or stationary objects accurately.
- Door Control: Immediate door activation or halt based on sensor input.
Motion detectors are widely used sensors that trigger doors when movement is detected, allowing easy entry and exit while improving building energy efficiency.
How They Work
These sensors typically utilise radar technology to detect moving pedestrians approaching the door from either direction. The radar emits a high-frequency wave, detecting changes when a person moves into the sensor’s detection area.
Typical Applications
- Retail stores
- Office buildings
- Public facilities
Action
- Detection: Radar identifies approaching motion from pedestrians.
- Activation: Doors automatically open, ensuring efficient pedestrian flow.
