SAFETY FOR GATE OPERATORS
THAT'S WHY IT PLAYS SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE
The safety of modern door operators plays an important role in the purchasing decision for two reasons:
- The door operator must run smoothly to prevent injury to people and damage to property.
- In addition to saving energy, an electric door operator also offers security against break-ins and protection against damage caused by storms or animals.
When it comes to door openers in companies, the safety officer must ensure the safety of employees and visitors. In the case of electric gate operators in private homes, the safety of the residents is also the top priority. The operating instructions for a sliding gate operator or swing gate operator therefore contain several safety instructions and safety warnings. In addition, installation should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
At the same time, electric gate operators protect a building against burglary attempts. Studies show that a third of all break-ins are cancelled if the garage door or entrance gate cannot be opened quickly enough.
IS THERE AN ELECTRIC GATE OPERATOR FOR EVERY GATE?
In principle, any door can be equipped with an electric door operator. The geared motor 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 door operator for garage doors and industrial doors
- swing gate operator
- Sliding door operator
- Sectional door operator
- Up-and-over door operator
- Gate operator for swing gates
- Electric gate operator for 2 leaves
Each gate operator can be controlled either with a hand-held transmitter or via app. The hand-held transmitter is tamper-proof and, thanks to KeeLoq, works via a dynamically changing code that is generated anew for each application.
RETROFITTING GATE OPERATORS - HOW IT CAN WORK!
Retrofitting manual garage doors or other 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, a retrofitted door operator is also suitable for doors from other manufacturers. The type of garage is irrelevant when retrofitting. The doors of these garage types can be retrofitted with an electric door operator:
- Single garages
- Double garages
- Collective garages
- Underground garages
- Garages without a power connection
The door operator for garages without a power supply runs on a battery pack. The operator can be connected to a solar panel as an additional energy source. Novoferm offers a powerful gear motor for underground garages and collective garages, which reduces the door opening time by up to 50 %.
