SAFETY FOR GATE OPERATORS
WHICH IS WHY IT PLAYS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE
The safety of modern door operators plays an important role in the purchase decision for two reasons:
- The operator must operate smoothly to avoid injury to persons and damage to property.
- In addition to energy savings, an electric door opener also offers security against break-ins and protection against damage caused by storms or animals.
When it comes to door openers in companies, the security manager must ensure the safety of employees and visitors. In the case of electric door openers in private homes, the safety of the residents also has top priority. The operating instructions for a sliding or swing gate operator therefore contain various safety instructions and warnings. Furthermore, installation should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
At the same time, electric gate operators protect a building against break-in attempts. Studies show that one third of break-ins are undone if the garage door or entrance gate cannot be opened quickly enough.
IS THERE AN ELECTRICAL OPERATOR FOR EACH GATE?
In principle, any door can be fitted with an electric operator. The operator replaces the force that the user previously had to apply to open the door by hand.
Novoferm offers a wide range of different doors and operators:
- Electric operator for garage and industrial doors
- Operator for swing gates
- Sliding door operator
- Sectional door operator
- Overhead door operator
- Operator for swing gates
- Operator for 2-leaf electric gates
Each gate operator can be controlled with a handheld transmitter or via an app. The handheld transmitter is tamper-proof and, thanks to KeeLoq, operates via a dynamically changing code that is generated from scratch for each application.
ADAPTATION OF GATE OPERATORS: HOW IT CAN WORK!
Retrofitting manual or other garage doors with an electric operator is quick and easy. The Novomatic operator can be mounted on the ceiling. This type of installation saves space and requires little labour. In addition to all door types from Novoferm, the retrofitted operator is also suitable for doors from other manufacturers. The type of garage is irrelevant to the retrofit. Doors of these garage types can be retrofitted with an electric operator:
- Single garages
- Double garages
- Collective garages
- Underground garages
- Garages without a mains connection
The garage operator without power supply runs on a battery. The operator can be connected to a solar panel as an additional power source. Novoferm offers a powerful gear motor for underground garages and collective garages, which reduces the door opening time by up to 50 %.
