Many people pass through automatic sliding doors in office buildings, shopping centres, hospitals, schools, airports etc every day.  Motion and infrared sensors play a critical role in ensuring automatic sliding doors are efficiently and safely while allowing smooth flowing convenient pedestrian access in and out of buildings.

Advances in direction detection and infrared technologies continue to enable better solutions for the safe operation of all kinds of automatic doors operating in a wide variety of environments.  Our two active infrared sensor products; the SSR-3 combined technology sensor and the HR100-CT uni-directional active infrared sensor, use unique innovative “door learn technology” to provide unmatched pedestrian safety.

What is “Door Learn Technology” and how does it work?

The unique ability of the “Door Learn” function to memorize door motion and for sensors to look back inside the sliding door leaf allows the door operation to be ignored while anything in the doorway will be detected.  The result – an unparalleled level of pedestrian safety.

Active Infrared sensors transmit and measure the reflection levels of infrared light. They have a high immunity to the negative effects of external influences such as reflections, sunlight and artificial light. These sensors are easy to install and adjust and can detect motion and static presence.

  • On set up the “Door Learn” function runs. Sensors take a snapshot of the reflection levels from the ground.
  • The infrared safety curtain is focused both in front of as well as inside the moving door leaf.
  • Three 3 rows of light are changed from motion detection to presence.
  • Now any changes in the properties of the reflected wave will indicate that a person or object is in the detection area and cause the sensor relay to activate and the door to open.

SAFEPASS SSR-3 Infrared & Microwave Automatic Door Sensor 
With “Door Learn” and uni-directional detecting technology this innovative energy saving sensor can be mounted at heights of up to 3.2m. 

A large adjustable detection zone of 4m wide x 4m deep ensures timely door opening for doors approached by shopping trolleys or fast-moving traffic. The EN16005 compliant monitored safety system is also available with an emergency escape route versions.

SAFEPASS HR100-CT Uni-directional Detection Automatic Door Sensor
Using advanced infrared technology this pioneering super sensor offers automatic sliding door activation and unprecedented safety at mounting heights of up to 3m.

The HR100-CT’s easily adjustable detection area eliminates false door openings in busy urban environments. The monitored safety system features dual relay outputs. This ability to adjust the door activation and pedestrian safety detection zones independently makes it the ideal sensor for every sliding door installation.
