CENTURION i5 Infrared Gate Safety Beams

We install Infrared safety beams are across the gate path. When installed, this ensures that anything that is in between the gate path and which would be crushed if the gate is closed stops the gate. Indeed, i5 Safety beams are installed in Kenya for both swing and sliding gates.

MAIN FEATURES:

• Wide infrared beam makes for supremely easy beam alignment – no more battling onsite.
• Highly cost-effective detection solution.
• Easy commissioning thanks to LED indicators.
• 40 metre range – suitable for even the widest of entrances.
• Compatible with Intruder-detection Alarm functionality (a world first) – greatly improves security.
• Wide input voltage range.

Photon, Infrared Gate Safety Beams

Photon II makes achieving a safe automation system for even the most difficult of installations a breeze. Furthermore, with a wireless transmitter, there is no need to dig across the driveway to connect the safety beams.

MAIN FEATURES:

• The transmitter is wireless and battery-operated saving time and money.
• Two-year battery life using two AA Alkaline batteries (included).
• Thirty-metre operating range – ideal for almost any entrance gate.
• Fully ant-proof and weather-resistant enclosure for greater reliability.
• Transmitter provides audible feedback for easy setup and battery-low indication.
• Low power consumption throughout the system for greater efficiency.

Case study on use of Safety Features on Automatic Gates in Kenya

In conclusion, safety features on an automated gate and on any automated system is important. For example, we have listed some scenarios where the safety features on an automated gate would be useful.

1. You have visitors coming in and they don’t know the gate is automated. As they drive in, they may stop before clearing the gate path to admire the work. While stopping, the gate may close suddenly and damage their vehicle.
2. Children playing across the gate path. A kid may be playing or running to say goodbye to you as your drive out of you home, at the same time, the gate auto-close feature may have activated and may close and hurt the child. As soon as the gate start to close, the Infrared safety beam would stop the gate to allow time for the kid to go back to safery.

In summary, Safety Features on Automatic Gates are very crucial for the safety of users on the gate and for your children or pets.
