Magnetic Contact Switch – Wired

*NC/NO

*0.5 A

A wired magnetic contact switch, also known as a door or window sensor, is a security device that uses a magnetic field to detect when a door or window is opened or closed. It consists of two main parts: a wired component with a reed switch and a magnet. When the door or window is closed, the magnet is close to the reed switch, completing a circuit. When the door or window is opened, the magnet moves away, breaking the circuit and triggering an alarm or other action. 

How it works:
  • Reed Switch: The wired component contains a reed switch, which is a small, sealed glass capsule with two magnetic metal reeds inside. 
  • Magnet: The magnet is placed on the moving part of the door or window. 
  • Closed Circuit: When the magnet is close to the reed switch (door/window closed), the magnetic field pulls the reeds together, creating a closed circuit. 
  • Open Circuit: When the door/window is opened, the magnet moves away, the magnetic field weakens, and the reeds separate, opening the circuit. 
  • Alarm Trigger: The open circuit signals the alarm system, triggering an alert. 
Types of Magnetic Contact Switches:
  • Surface Mount:
    These are the most common and are easily attached to the door or window frame.
  • Recessed/Flush Mount:
    These are installed inside the door or window frame, providing a more discreet look.
  • Overhead Door Contacts:
    Larger and more robust, designed for garage doors and overhead rolling doors.
  • High Security/Balanced Magnetic Contacts:

    Used for higher security applications where tampering is a concern. 

Common Applications:
  • Security Systems: Detecting intrusion through doors and windows.
  • Access Control: Monitoring entry and exit points.
  • Automation Systems: Triggering actions based on door/window status.
  • Industrial Applications: Monitoring doors and gates in industrial settings.

Dual swing gate opener – Key Automation RAY2224

*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 500 Kg (Per leaf) Included: *2 x Electromechanical arm *1 x Main control board *1 x Waterproof box *2 x Remote control *2 x Manual release key *1 x Safety Sensor
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.

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.

Safety Sensor S300

A gate opener safety sensor is a crucial component of automated gate systems designed to prevent accidents and damage by detecting obstructions in the gate's path.
These sensors, often photoelectric, use an infrared beam to monitor the area and trigger the gate to stop or reverse if something is blocking its movement. 
How it works:
  • Transmitter and Receiver:
    A safety sensor typically consists of a transmitter that emits an infrared light beam and a receiver that detects the beam.
  • Obstruction Detection:
    When an object, person, or vehicle interrupts the beam, the receiver signals the gate operator to stop or reverse the gate's movement.
  • Safety Feature:
    This mechanism prevents the gate from closing on anything or anyone, ensuring safety and preventing potential damage. 
Types of Safety Sensors:
  • Photoelectric Sensors (Photo Eyes):
    These are the most common type, using an infrared beam to detect obstructions. 
  • Safety Edges:
    These sensors are typically placed along the edge of the gate and trigger a stop or reverse when they encounter pressure. 
  • Induction Loops:
    These sensors are embedded in the ground and detect vehicles as they pass over them, triggering the gate to open or close. 
Importance:
  • Safety:
    The primary function is to prevent accidents and injuries by stopping or reversing the gate when an obstruction is present. 
  • Preventing Damage:
    By detecting obstructions, these sensors help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or anything else in its path. 
  • Compliance:
    Safety sensors are often required for automated gates to meet safety regulations and standards. 
Common Issues:
  • Misalignment:
    If the sensor is misaligned, the infrared beam may not reach the receiver, causing the gate to malfunction.
  • Obstructions:
    Debris, dirt, or other obstructions can interfere with the beam and trigger false alarms.
  • Sensor Failure:
    Like any electronic device, sensors can fail over time, requiring replacement.

Key features and functions of a gate opener remote control:
  • Remote Operation:
    Enables opening and closing the gate from a distance, typically within a certain range (e.g., 100 feet). 
  • Radio Signal Transmission:
    Emits a radio signal to the gate's receiver unit, initiating the gate's movement. 
  • Compatibility:
    Most remotes are compatible with specific gate openers and require the same frequency to function. 
  • Programming:
    Can be programmed with the gate's receiver unit, often involving a "learn" or "program" button on the gate opener. 
  • Multiple Remotes:
    Many gate openers can be paired with multiple remotes, allowing multiple users to control the gate. 
  • Universal Remotes:
    Some universal remotes can be programmed to work with different gate opener brands, as long as they are compatible. 
  • Safety Features:
    Some gate openers incorporate safety features like sensors that detect obstructions and reverse the gate's movement.
