Wireless safety edge transmitter and receiver - Part No. BAND-T (transmitter), BAND-R (receiver)
An innovative wireless radio communication system for use with safety edges, it offers a two-way 868.90 MHz radio link with self-test between transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is connected to the gate or door safety edge and the receiver to the door or gate control panel safety input.
The transmitter and receiver are in fact transceivers and constantly communicating with each other, should any part of the system fail, the receiver will activate the safety input of the gate control panel preventing the gate from operating, the system is therefore fail safe
Applications include wireless safety edge sensors on automatic electric sliding gates, automated industrial doors, barriers, roller shutters and garage doors
Facilitates compliance with gate and door standard EN-13241-1:2003 and EN12453, certified by approved TUV laboratory to EN-954-1, EN13489-1 standards
Simplifies and reduces installation time and costs
Two-way 868.90 MHz radio link with self-test between transmitter and receiver
Battery powered transmitter with 2 year battery life
Low battery warning indicator, provides an audible signal at the receiver weeks before a transmitter battery needs replacing
Can be used with both 8.2K resistive and N.C safety edges
The receiver has two channels, the outputs can be N.C or 8.2K resistive and would normally connect to the opening and closing safety inputs on the gate or door control panel, up to six transmitters can be used, 3 on each channel, more than one safety edge can be connected in series to a transmitter
FAQ's
Does the wireless safety edge system comply with the relevant European
Standards?
Yes tested and approved by the following competent bodies
TUV NORD in accordance with EN ISO 13849 : 2008 and EN 12978 : 2003
certificate number 44 207 10 376246
TUV SUD in accordance with EN12453 : 2000 and EN 954-1 certificate number
963773A
What is the difference between Cat 2 and Cat 3?
With regards to EN12978:2003 and EN 954-1
Should any fault occur
Cat 3 - the controller output will immediately change state
Cat 2 - the controller output will change state at the next auto test (door
/ gate limits)
As far as the wireless safety edge is concerned, it will react immediately
should the safety edge be activated, if a fault occurs in the safety edge /
wiring, if power is lost to the transmitter or receiver, or there is
disruption to the wireless link. Should an electronic fault occur that is
not detected immediately, it will be detected at the next autotest which
would be a maximum of 20 seconds after the fault occurred.
The above should be taken into account when making a risk assessment
