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.

A swing gate opener is a device that automates the opening and closing of a swing gate, typically using a motor and a control system.
It provides a convenient and secure way to control access to a property, whether residential, commercial, or industrial. These openers can be used with various gate types, including those that swing inward or outward. 
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.
  • Accessibility: Can be particularly useful for people with mobility issues.

More information about the swing gate openers: WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SWING GATE MOTORS? 1- Articulated Arm for Swing Gate Operators How do automatic gates work with articulated swing gate motors? An articulated arm electric gate opener uses a two-part arm with an ‘elbow’ joint to connect the motor to the gate. This arm protrudes from the gate motor body, so there has to be room for the arm to move as the driveway gate opens and closes. This type of electric gate opener is easier to install than other types, thanks to the geometry of the arm system. They can be slightly more expensive than other gate motors, but they open and close automated gates quickly. Many homeowners like discrete gate automation systems, and articulated arm motors can be more obvious when installed. However, many have the control system built into one of the motors. These motors for automatic gates are mounted on the inside of gates so they’re not seen from the outside of closed gates. In the event of power failure or mechanical breakdown, articulated arm motors can normally be released manually from outside the gate with an optional cable release system. All articulated arm gate operators are electric gate motors that can be either 120VAC or 24VDC. All 24V and some 120V versions have obstacle detection. This means that the gates stop moving and some even reverse when they come into contact with an object during operation. Articulated arm gate automation systems can be the best choice where each electric gate opener is mounted on a large gate pier or pillar. 2- Ram And Linear Screw Automatic Swing Gate Openers Ram gate automation motors push and pull a piston mounted on the gate. Linear screw electric motors for gates use an electric motor to rotate the gate mounting along a threaded shaft. Both types of electric gate motors are slim and don’t need a lot of space to operate. However, this advantage does mean that they require careful alignment during installation. Manual release systems are only available from inside the driveway gate. A ram or linear screw type of motor for automatic gate control is attached to the gate at one end and the gate pillar or post at the other end. Ram motors can be hydraulic or driven by electric motors, but all require a separate control box. As with articulated arm motors, 120Vac, and 24Vdc, you can buy versions with obstacle detection for safer operation. Additionally, heavy-duty versions of each type of electric gate opener are available that will operate larger gates with leaves up to 7m long. These electric gate openers can be the best gate automation solution when price is important. Their simpler design and operation can make them a cost-effective solution compared to other types of electric gate motors. 3- Underground Swing Gate Operators Many Canadian homeowners choose underground gate automation motors because they are very discreet. This is because each underground gate opener is hidden under the hinge end of each swing gate. But how do automatic gates work when they’re opened and closed by hidden underground motors? During installation, a carefully positioned hole must be dug to house a foundation box for each underground gate opener. The housing for each underground electric gate motor needs sufficient drainage to prevent the motors from sitting in water, or they will fail. Underground electric gate motors don’t need a lot of space to operate and can be installed on the inside or back of gate pillars. They are usually only installed behind gate pillars when the gates must open more than 90 degrees, so that the post or pillar does not obstruct the gates. With the addition of a 180-degree gate opener, your gates can open much wider than 90 degrees. This is an optional chain drive system for driveways that bend around behind the gate pillars. If the gate only opened to 90 degrees, it could block part of the driveway. But a 180-degree gate opener system means that it can keep going past 90 degrees, so it doesn’t block the driveway. Normally, underground automation of gates is the most expensive solution, but they are almost invisible. It is possible for the most powerful underground gate opener to open and close a swing gate up to 5m long. Underground motors for automatic gates can be manually released from outside the gate. These types of gate motors can be either hydraulic or electromechanical. A separate control box is required, and 120VAC and 24VDC versions with obstacle detection are available. Underground gate opener installation is not simple, and it should always be installed by professional electric gate engineers. Underground gate automation could be the best style for you if you want a discreet, almost invisible electric gate motor installation and you have the budget for this more expensive option.
