Safety Rotational Encoder For Safer Gates

Find an installer Brochure

SEA has created a new safety device designed to greatly improve the safety of ALL MANUFACTURES 230V swing gate systems called the RT Encoder. The RT Encoder is built into a protective case attached to the gate post with the extendable arm being fixed to the gates. As the gate opens the arm rotates and provides the control panel with an exact position and speed of travel of the gate leaf. It provides any gate motor with the ability to stop and reverse if the gate hits an obstruction, helping to pass health and safety requirements without the use of unattractive safety edges. The RT Encoder has been used to pass EN12453 requirements to numerous gates WITHOUT THE NEED FOR SAFETY EDGES. This device has also been used on very large and solid gates to make sure the leaves get fully closed in windy situations. The Rotational Position Gates’s full features include:

  • The RT Encoder helps to find the exact position of the moving leaf.
  • Measures the true speed of the rotating gate in opening and closing.
  • Reverse on obstacle detection for 230V AC operators such as the Compact Field, Super full Tanks
  • Memorised leaf position in case of power failure.
  • Exact slowdown and stop points.
  • Can be used on all other manufacturers 230V motors when combined with UNIGATE invertor panel
  • Reverse on obstacle detection for 230V AC operators from FAAC, DEA, BFT, CAME, NICE, ROGER,
