ENTRYSENSE

Product Indroduction
Commencing 2nd quarter 2006 FRABA VITECTOR GmbH is going to release a new product for safety application.
Application
ENTRYSENSE is a safety switch for monitoring wicket door locking in power operated doors. Wicket doors in panels of power operated doors have to safely locked in their closed position before any operation of the door. This applies to fully automated doors as well as to doors in deadman mode. A safe contact has to ensure, that the operator does not start with the door is unlocked and stops the motor immediately, as soon as the lock unlatches during operation.
The EN 12453 requires the use of a redundant, fail safe contact, that will detect any internal failure while still keeping its intended function. This sensor must be compliant with the safety category 2 of EN 954-1.
Description
The door contact ENTRYSENSE is a redundant, magnetic non-contact sensor specifically designed for flush mounting inside an industrial doors wicked door frame. The compact, purpose build housing allows easy and sheltered installation inside the door. Also it senses even if the door is almost fully closed. An attached 3m long connecting cable has to be guided to the spiral cords junction box. The electronic interface in the door control units monitors the condition of the door contact at any time automatically.
Interface
ENTRYSENSE is a shared development of FRABA VITECTOR GmbH and GfA Elektromaten. The interface for the ENTRYSENSE pedestrian door contact is already on board in the GfA door control units TS 956, TS 961, TS 970 and TS 981. When used in combination with any of those control units ENTRYSENSE accomplishes the safety category 2. Connected to any other door control units ENTRYSENSE remains a redundant normally opened contact.
