Exit Push Button SQTPB701H

*No Touch *Backlight *DC 12V *COM-NC-NO
A wave exit push button, also known as a touchless exit button or wave-to-exit switch, is a device that allows users to open a door without physically touching it.
It uses motion sensing technology, typically infrared or microwave, to detect a hand gesture and trigger the door to open. This provides a more hygienic and convenient way to exit a space, especially in environments where minimizing physical contact is desirable. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Functionality:
  • Touchless Activation:
    The core function is to activate a door release mechanism (like a magnetic lock or strike) with a simple wave of the hand. 
  • Motion Sensing:
    Wave exit buttons utilize sensors (infrared or microwave) to detect the movement of a hand or object in front of the device. 
  • Contactless Exit:
    This eliminates the need to physically push a button, reducing the spread of germs and providing a more hygienic exit solution. 
Common Applications:
  • Healthcare facilities: Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories where hygiene is paramount. 
  • Food service and preparation areas: Restaurants and kitchens where cleanliness is crucial. 
  • High-traffic areas: Office buildings, schools, and public spaces where many people need to exit frequently. 
  • Disabled access: Provides a convenient and accessible way for individuals with mobility limitations to exit. 
Benefits:
  • Hygiene:
    Reduces the risk of spreading germs and viruses by eliminating the need to touch a button. 
  • Convenience:
    Allows for hands-free operation, making it easier to exit with arms full or for individuals with mobility limitations. 
  • Durability:
    Often more durable than traditional push buttons due to fewer moving parts.

Smartphone Gate Controller

A Smartphone gate controller module primarily connects to your existing gate opener by essentially "mimicking" the action of a traditional wired push button or a remote control. Here's a breakdown of the common connection methods:
1. Wired Connection to the Gate Opener's Control Board (Most Common):
  • "Dry Contact" or "Push Button" Terminals: Most gate opener control boards have terminals designed for a wired wall control panel or push button. These are often labeled as "COM" (Common), "PUSH," "START," "CYCLE," or similar.
  • Relay Connection: The Wi-Fi gate controller module typically contains a relay. When you send a command from your smartphone app, the module activates this relay. The relay then momentarily closes a circuit between the designated terminals on your gate opener's control board. This "short circuit" or "dry contact" action is interpreted by the gate opener as a signal to open or close, just as if you had pressed a physical button.
  • Power Supply: The Wi-Fi module itself needs power. It can often be powered directly from the gate opener's control board (if it provides a suitable low-voltage output, e.g., 7-32V), or it might require a separate power adapter (like a 5V USB power supply).
2. "Hacking" an Existing Remote Control (DIY Approach):
  • Some DIY solutions involve wiring the Wi-Fi module to the internal contacts of an existing gate remote control.
  • The module then "presses" the button on the remote control electronically, sending the same signal the remote would normally send to the gate opener. This is less common for commercial products and more of a hobbyist project.
    Key Components and How They Work Together:
  • Wi-Fi Connection: The module connects to your home's Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz). This allows your smartphone (via the internet) to communicate with the module.
  • Control Board (within the module): This is the "brain" of the module, receiving commands from your smartphone and translating them into signals for the gate opener.
  • Relay: The electromechanical switch that closes the circuit on the gate opener's control board.
  • Input Terminals (optional): Some modules may have inputs for sensors (e.g., magnetic sensors) that can tell you the gate's open/closed status, which is then communicated back to your app.
    General Installation Steps:
  1. Locate the Gate Opener Control Board: This is usually found within the gate opener's housing.
  2. Identify the Control Terminals: Refer to your gate opener's manual to find the terminals for a push button or wall control.
  3. Wire the Module: Connect the output wires from the Wi-Fi module's relay to the appropriate control terminals on the gate opener's board.
  4. Power the Module: Connect the module to a suitable power source.
  5. Connect to Wi-Fi and App: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the module to your Wi-Fi network and pair it with the smartphone app.
  6. Test: Test the functionality from your smartphone.
    Important Considerations:
  • Compatibility: Always check the compatibility of the Wi-Fi module with your specific gate opener brand and model. Some modules are universal, while others are designed for certain manufacturers.
  • Wiring Diagrams: Always consult the wiring diagrams provided by both your gate opener manufacturer and the Wi-Fi module manufacturer.
  • Safety: If you're not comfortable with electrical wiring, it's best to consult a professional electrician or gate technician.
  • Wi-Fi Signal Strength: Ensure a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal at the location of the gate opener for reliable operation. You may need a Wi-Fi extender if the gate is far from your router.

Exit Wand Car Detector

An Exit Wand Car Detector, also known as a magnetometer or vehicle sensor, works by sensing changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the movement of metal objects, specifically vehicles.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how it operates:
  1. Magnetometer: The core of an exit wand is a magnetometer. This device is highly sensitive to variations in magnetic fields.
  2. Earth's Magnetic Field: The Earth naturally has a magnetic field surrounding it.
  3. Vehicle Movement: When a large mass of ferrous metal, like a car, truck, or even a heavy piece of metal equipment, moves through this magnetic field, it creates a disturbance or distortion in the field. Think of it like a boat creating waves as it moves through water.
  4. Detection: The exit wand's magnetometer picks up on these subtle "waves" or changes in the magnetic field as the vehicle passes by.
  5. Signal to Gate Opener: Once the changes are detected and exceed a certain threshold (which is often adjustable for sensitivity), the exit wand sends a signal to the gate opener's control board.
  6. Gate Activation: The gate opener, upon receiving this signal, then automatically opens the gate, allowing the vehicle to exit the property "hands-free" – without the need for a remote, keypad, or manual intervention.
Key Characteristics and Considerations:
  • Motion-Activated: A crucial point is that exit wands primarily detect moving metal. If a car is stopped directly over the wand, it may lose detection.
  • Buried Installation: Exit wands are typically buried underground, often alongside the driveway, making them discreet and protected from weather and accidental damage.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Most exit wands have an adjustable sensitivity. This allows you to fine-tune how easily it triggers, helping to prevent false alarms from smaller metal objects like bicycles or lawnmowers, or to ensure it detects vehicles at a desired range.
  • Wiring: Wired exit wands have a cable that connects the wand to the gate opener's control box. Wireless versions transmit the signal wirelessly to a receiver connected to the gate opener.
  • Not for Safety Loops: While they are excellent for automatic exit, exit wands are generally not recommended for use as safety loops. Safety loops (which are different, typically inductive loops buried in the driveway itself) are designed to detect any presence of metal, moving or stationary, to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle.
  • Limitations: They can sometimes be triggered by very large or fast-moving metal objects even if they are not cars. Also, if they are placed too close to the gate, they might experience false triggers.
In essence, an exit wand provides a convenient and reliable way for vehicles to automatically exit a property controlled by an automatic gate, leveraging the principle of magnetic field detection.
