High performance sensor technology

April 2006 Sensors & Transducers

Telco offers a complete programme of high performance infrared detection devices for demanding industries, ensuring maximum protection with worldwide service and stock.

Telco's infrared detection devices consist of a single or multibeam transmitter and receiver unit, which are to be mounted opposite each other at the entrance of the door whereby the infrared light from the transmitter shines on the receiver. If an infrared light beam is interrupted, the automatic doors will instantly reopen - without touching the people/passengers or materials.

The single and multibeam systems are available either as a self-contained system, consisting of only a transmitter and receiver unit for direct connection to the door operator or lift controller or as a remote system whereby the transmitter and receiver units are powered and monitored by a separate amplifier.

Telco systems are proven to be cost-effective, they are 'vandal proof', compact and are unaffected by high degrees of extraneous light, contamination and misalignment. Telco systems offer easy mounting in both new and existing installations.
