CAN YOU SECURE ACCESS WITH A RADIO BRIDGE?

The radio bridge is an automated system that can be used in electrical, IT and automation applications. This device is essential for securing industrial and public access. Find out in this article why it's a good idea to install it on an automatic gate or door, and how it works!

Two reasons to secure access

To prevent damage

Securing the access to an industrial, commercial or residential building is essential to prevent incidents and unintentional accidents, and to ensure smooth accessibility. Numerous electronic security systems can be installed in collective and/or industrial spaces. In addition, robust security measures can reduce insurance costs and other financial losses.

Complying with standards and regulations

Securing access is often a regulatory requirement in many industrial and commercial sectors. Compliance with security standards , such as those defined by certification bodies and local authorities, is crucial to avoid legal sanctions and fines. Furthermore, a secure infrastructure that complies with security regulations also plays a role in the reputation of a company or residence. Let's not forget that potential customers, investors or residents are often looking for a safe environment.

 

The radio bridge, an ideal safety device to protect people, users and vehicles

The radio bridge is an essential safety accessory for sectional doors and gates. It ensures reliable wireless communication between control devices and safety systems such as photocells and infrared barriers. By eliminating cables, it reduces the risk of mechanical failure and wear associated with wired connections, while facilitating installation and maintenance.

But that's not all: the radio bridge ensures fast, accurate signal transmission, enabling immediate detection of obstacles and better reactivity to avoid accidents and property damage. There's no better way to enhance the safety of users and property on a site!

 

How a radio bridge works

Wireless transmission: the radio bridge works by establishing a wireless connection between a control panel and safety systems such as the safety edge. It uses radio frequencies to transmit signals, eliminating the need for physical wiring.

Signal detection and transmission: when an obstacle is detected by a safety device (such as a safety edge or magnetic wave), the signal is immediately transmitted via the radio bridge to the control system. This triggers an appropriate response, such as stopping or reversing the sectional door or gate to avoid a collision.

Simplified installation and maintenance: the radio bridge simplifies installation and maintenance. This reduces the risk of failure due to damaged or worn cables, and ensures flexibility in the placement of sensors and other safety devices.
