Safety sensor FO-MATIC

*NO/NC *AC/DC 12-24 V *Receiving Range: 15 Meters *IP 44 The Safety sensor FO-MATIC is a type of photocell safety sensor primarily used in automatic door and gate systems. It's designed to prevent accidents by detecting obstructions in the path of a closing door or gate.   How it Works The FO-MATIC sensor operates using a photoelectric principle. It consists of two main components:
  • Transmitter: Emits an invisible infrared light beam.
  • Receiver: Detects the infrared beam.
When the infrared beam between the transmitter and receiver is interrupted by an object or person, the sensor triggers a relay. This relay then sends a signal to the door or gate's control board, instructing it to stop or reverse its movement, thus preventing a collision or injury.   Key Features
  • Infrared Beam Barrier: Creates a safety zone that, when breached, halts door/gate operation.
  • Digital Coding: Often features digital coding on two channels (A or B) to prevent interference from other sensors or light sources.
  • Double Relay: Incorporates a double relay for switching contacts, enhancing reliability.
  • Versatile Functionality: Can be used for both safety (preventing impacts) and anti-theft purposes (detecting unauthorized entry).
  • Robust Design: Typically housed in a durable polycarbonate shell, and some models are designed to be weather-resistant (e.g., IP44 rated).
  • Easy Installation: May include features like proportional LED alignment for simpler and safer setup.
  • Wide Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with various automatic gate and door operators, including single swing, double swing, and sliding gates.
  Applications The FO-MATIC safety sensor is commonly found in automated systems such as:

Exit Loop Detector

An exit loop detector is a system designed to automatically open gates or barriers for vehicles leaving a secured area. It works primarily on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is a common component in automated access control systems for driveways, parking lots, and commercial properties.
Here's how it generally works:
  • Inductive Loop: A wire loop, usually rectangular, is buried beneath the surface of the driveway or exit lane. This loop is connected to a loop detector unit.
  • Electromagnetic Field: The loop detector sends an alternating current through the wire loop, creating a continuous electromagnetic field around it.
  • Vehicle Detection: When a vehicle (which contains a significant amount of metal) drives over or within the range of this electromagnetic field, it disrupts the field. This disruption causes a change in the loop's inductance.
  • Signal to Gate Operator: The loop detector senses this change in inductance and sends a signal to the gate or barrier's control system.
  • Automatic Opening: Upon receiving the signal, the gate operator is triggered to open, allowing the vehicle to exit without requiring a remote control, keypad, or manual intervention.

A gate opener safety sensor is a device designed to detect objects or people in the path of an automatic gate and prevent it from closing or hitting them, ensuring safety and preventing damage or injury.
These sensors can be photoelectric, pressure sensors, magnetic sensors, or loop detectors and are crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring smooth gate operation. 

Types of Gate Opener Safety Sensors:

  • Photoelectric Sensors:
    These sensors use an infrared beam to detect objects. When the beam is broken by an object, the gate opener is signaled to stop or reverse. 
  • Pressure Sensors:
    These sensors are typically located along the edge of the gate and detect pressure when the gate comes into contact with an object. 
  • Magnetic Sensors:
    These sensors use a magnetic field to detect the presence of vehicles or objects near the gate. 
  • Loop Detectors:
    These sensors use a wire loop buried in the ground near the gate. When a vehicle or object passes over the loop, it triggers the gate to stop or reverse. 
How They Work:
  1. Detection: The sensor detects the presence of an object or person in the gate's path. 
  2. Signal: The sensor sends a signal to the gate operator. 
  3. Action: The gate operator responds by stopping, reversing, or remaining open, depending on the sensor type and programmed settings. 
Importance of Safety Sensors:
  • Prevent Accidents: They protect people and vehicles from being hit by the gate. 
  • Prevent Damage: They help avoid damage to the gate, vehicles, or property.

Car back-up camera

A car back-up camera, also widely known as a rearview camera or reversing camera, is a specialized video camera mounted on the rear of a vehicle. Its primary function is to provide the driver with a visual feed of the area directly behind the car when the vehicle is in reverse. This significantly enhances safety and convenience, especially when parking or maneuvering in tight spaces. How it Works:
  1. Camera Placement: The camera is typically small and discreetly mounted on the rear of the vehicle. Common locations include near the license plate, integrated into the trunk handle, or within the rear bumper.
  2. Activation: When the driver shifts the vehicle into REVERSE gear, the back-up camera automatically activates.
  3. Video Feed: The camera captures a wide-angle video image of the area behind the car.
  4. Display: This live video feed is then displayed on a screen inside the vehicle. This screen can be:
    • An integrated display in the dashboard (common in newer vehicles).
    • A dedicated monitor that mounts on the dashboard.
    • A replacement rearview mirror with an integrated screen.
    • An aftermarket car stereo head unit with a video input.
  5. Deactivation: When the driver shifts out of reverse, the camera typically turns off.
