All commercial overhead doors on the market today include some form of safety monitoring. Typically, this means a reflective or thru-beam photo-eye to detect obstructions while the door is closing. PULSE operators offer more to enhance safety.
Yes, all iControls PULSE door operators come equipped with either a polarized photo-eye or a thru-beam, depending on model. These safety components are mandated by UL and provide a good first line of defense but may not effectively prevent every incident.
For increased safety, PULSE operators (Series 100, 200, 300 and 500) feature built-in intelligent force monitoring. This system continuously monitors the door while it is in motion and detects any abnormal force.
When closing, if the door encounters resistance or hits an obstruction, the operator halts and reverses direction. Should the door be obstructed during opening (ie. due to ice buildup, door latch engagement, door jam) this safety feature will stop the door to prevent further possible damage. This responsive action helps reduce the risk of harm and equipment damage. Force monitoring sensitivity is field adjustable for both opening and closing cycles
Intelligent force monitoring adds a valuable layer of protection for commercial doors using PULSE door openers. To learn more about their many safety and performance features, visit our PULSE commercial operators page.
