Close the Security
Gap in Your
Automated Overhead Doors and Gates
Most automated garage
doors and motorized gates use timers to control closing. The door or
gate opens when the driver of a vehicle triggers it with a remote control or
access credential. The timer then allows a fixed amount of time to pass
before closing the door or gate.
That "fixed amount
of time" is an invitation to trouble.
Why? Timer-based doors and gates create two
hazards. If the fixed amount of time is too long - or the driver is
fast - another vehicle or individual may be able to slip through before the
door or gate closes. That puts an unauthorized and possibly dangerous
person inside your perimeter.
If the fixed amount of
time is too short - or the driver is slow - you face the second hazard: a
door or gate that closes while the vehicle is still in the way. That
can lead to property damage or, in the worst of cases, personal injury.
How do you steer
between these two hazards? Like a navigator with a compass, your best
friend is a magnetic field.
Magna-Loop
A Magna-Loop
self-closing system is a cost-effective means to close the security
gap. It consists of a magnetic loop detector and wire coil loop that is
buried beneath the door or gateway. The buried loop senses the metal of
a passing vehicle and, when the vehicle clears the opening, signals the door
or gate to close. The wire coil loop comes pre-formed to simplify
installation and is available in a variety of sizes (4' x 8' is
standard).
Magna-Loop is simple to
install in a concrete pad or asphalt. The detector system is small,
durable, and is easily housed near the door or gate. If you are
planning new construction or the renovation of existing parking facilities,
installing Magna-Loop is a low-cost way to eliminate a double hazard to your
tenants, customers and bottom line.
