Infrared activation technology now standard on Dor-O-Matic sliding doors

Harwood Heights, IL - March 28, 2003 -- Dor-O-Matic is pleased to announce that its activation standard for the 96K Series sliding doors is now the OA-202C, a combination motion control and presence sensor in one housing.

The new OA-202C sensor utilizes highly sophisticated and reliable infrared technology that provides a maximum pattern 7 feet wide x 10 feet deep, with a detection pattern that is easily focused, bent, and filtered to site requirements. Active infrared technology detects people or objects even if they stop moving. It is unaffected by environmental interferences, such as birds, insects, rain, snow, and sunlight, and can "read" dark colors and low contrast objects. Housings are water and humidity resistant. With the OA-202C, there's only one sensor to install, for motion and presence. Installation is quick and adjustment easy.

With the new OA-202C sensor, the standard 96K Series Safety Plus™ package has gained an additional margin of safety by providing both motion detection and threshold presence protection on the interior and exterior side of an entrance. The dual photoelectric safety beams that also are part of the Safety Plus™ package have been changed to a new style, Model OS-10C. The OS-10C provides the convenience of one-button set-up to adjust sensitivity and range.
