Infrared Card

An Infrared Card, also known as an infrared detection card or laser viewing card, is a tool used to visualize infrared light, typically from lasers or other sources, by converting it into a visible light display. It’s a simple, low-cost way to check for the presence and position of infrared beams, making it useful for alignment, safety, and diagnostic purposes.

Here’s a more detailed explanation:
What it does:
  • Converts invisible IR light to visible light:
    The card contains a material, often phosphorescent, that absorbs infrared radiation and then emits visible light when stimulated. 

  • Indicates presence and location:
    The illuminated spot on the card shows where the infrared beam is hitting, making it easy to see the beam’s path and focal point. 

  • Used for various applications:
    Infrared cards are used for aligning lasers, checking for infrared light leakage, visualizing infrared beams from various sources, and ensuring safety by detecting potentially harmful IR radiation. 

How it works (phosphorescent example):
  1. Charging: The card is first exposed to visible light, which excites the phosphorescent material.
  2. Energy Storage: The excited phosphor material stores this energy.
  3. Release of Light: When infrared light hits the charged phosphor, it releases the stored energy as visible light, creating a bright spot on the card. 
Key Features:
  • Low cost: Infrared detection cards are relatively inexpensive compared to other methods of detecting infrared light. 
  • Easy to use: They are simple to operate and require no special training or equipment. 
  • Durable: Typically made of plastic, they are designed to be durable and withstand regular use. 
  • Portable: Their small size makes them easy to carry and use in various settings. 
  • Wide range of applications: Useful for aligning lasers, checking for IR leakage, visualizing beam paths, and safety checks.

Gate Opener Infrared Remote

An infrared remote for an automatic gate opener allows you to control your gate from a distance, while the infrared sensor provides safety by detecting obstacles and automatically reversing the gate's movement if an obstruction is encountered.
Here's a breakdown:
  • Infrared (IR) Remote:
    This is a standard remote control, similar to those used for televisions, that transmits a signal to the gate opener using infrared light. You press a button on the remote, and it sends a coded signal to the gate opener's receiver, which then activates the gate motor. 
  • Infrared (IR) Sensor:
    This sensor, often found near the gate, emits an infrared beam. If an object (like a person or car) breaks this beam while the gate is closing, the sensor detects the interruption and signals the gate opener to stop and potentially reverse its direction to prevent accidents. 
  • Auto-Open/Close Functionality:
    Many automatic gate openers also have an "auto-close" feature, allowing you to set a timer for the gate to automatically close after a certain period (e.g., 5, 10, or 20 seconds). This adds convenience by eliminating the need to manually close the gate. 
  • Remote Range:
    The range of the remote control can vary, but typical ranges are around 100 feet (30 meters). Some systems can handle a larger number of remote controls (e.g., up to 25). 
  • Safety and Security:
    The infrared sensor adds a layer of safety to your gate system. The automatic reversing feature helps prevent accidents and property damage. 
  • Other Features:
    Some automatic gate openers also include features like:
    • Manual release: Allows you to manually open and close the gate in case of power outages or other emergencies. 
    • Overheating protection: The motor may have a built-in protection mechanism to prevent overheating. 
    • Multiple control options: Some systems can also be controlled via a wireless keypad or even through a smartphone app.

Dual swing gate opener -VDS RG24

*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 500 Kg (Per leaf) Included: *2 x Electromechanical motor *2 x Foundation box *1 x Main control board *1 x Waterproof box *2 x Remote control *2 x Manual release key *1 x Safety sensor
A double swing underground gate opener is a type of automated gate system designed for double swing gates, where the gate is split into two separate panels that meet in the middle.
The opener mechanism is installed underground, making it virtually invisible and aesthetically pleasing. This dual swing gate opener -VDS RG24 setup allows for a shorter swing radius for each gate leaf compared to a single-panel swing gate. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Double Swing Gates:
    These gates consist of two gate panels that swing open independently, usually meeting in the middle of the opening. This design is often used for wider driveways or when a single, large gate would be impractical or aesthetically undesirable. 
  • Underground Installation:
    The gate opener mechanism (including the motor and related components) is placed in a foundation box installed below ground level, typically at the hinge point of the gate. 
  • Aesthetics and Space:
    This type of opener offers a cleaner, more discreet look, as the mechanics are hidden from view. It also allows for a shorter swing radius for each gate leaf, which is beneficial in spaces with limited clearance. 
  • Operation:
    The opener receives a signal, usually from a remote control or other access control system, which activates the motor. The motor then rotates a lever or arm connected to the gate, causing it to swing open or closed. 
  • Dual Gate Compatibility:
    Double swing gate openers typically require two gate motors, one for each gate leaf. 
  • Safety Features:
    Many underground gate openers include safety features like limit switches to control the start/stop speed and travel of the gate, as well as manual release mechanisms for emergency situations.

Dual swing gate opener –HiGate HGSW950

A dual swing gate opener is a motorized system designed to automatically open and close a double swing gate, which consists of two gate panels that meet in the middle.
Each gate panel has its own opener mechanism, allowing them to swing open in opposite directions simultaneously. This setup is common for driveways and other entry points where a wider opening is needed without requiring a single, longer gate. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Dual Swing Gates:
    These gates have two leaves or panels that swing open, typically inward or outward, to create an opening. 
  • Dual Opener Mechanisms:
    Each leaf of the gate is equipped with its own opener mechanism, which is usually an arm that pushes or pulls the gate. 
  • Synchronized Movement:
    The two opener mechanisms are designed to work together, opening and closing the gate leaves in a coordinated and synchronized manner. 
  • Applications:
    Dual swing gate openers are commonly used for driveways, parking lots, and other areas where a wide opening is needed and a single gate might be too large or impractical. 
  • Benefits:
    They offer space efficiency as they require less space to swing open compared to a single, long gate. They can also provide a more elegant and sophisticated look to the entrance.

AC DIY Double Swing Gate Automation kit (GTR058) - Richmond ...
Here's a more detailed explanation:
How it works:
  • Motor:
    A motor, powered by electricity (AC or DC), provides the force to move the gate. 
  • Control System:
    A control board receives signals from a remote control, keypad, or other access control system and activates the motor accordingly. 
  • Opening Mechanism:
    Depending on the type of swing gate opener, the mechanism can be a linear arm, an articulated arm, or an underground system. 
  • Safety Features:
    Many swing gate openers include safety features like obstruction detection, which stops the gate if it encounters an obstacle during opening or closing. 
  • Emergency Release:
    An emergency release mechanism allows manual operation of the gate in case of power failure. 
Types of Swing Gate Openers:
  • Linear Arm: These are the most common type, using a linear actuator to push or pull the gate. 
  • Articulated Arm: These use a hinged arm to move the gate, reducing strain on the hinges. 
  • Underground: The motor and mechanism are installed underground, providing a more discreet appearance. 
  • Dual Swing: These openers are designed for gates that swing open from the center. 
Benefits of using a swing gate opener:
  • Convenience: Automatic opening and closing of the gate with the press of a button or remote control.
  • Security: Prevents unauthorized access to the property.
  • Enhanced Property Value: Adds a layer of sophistication and security to the property.
