How many ways to trigger the automatic door opening?

Automatic doors come in a variety of styles and are used in a multitude of scenarios. The basic operating rules are an integrated process with all accessories and parts. Automatic doors require a door machines as operating power, need sensors to detect and send signals when the door needs to be opened. When pedestrians or objects move within the detecting range of sensor, it will send a signal to the door machine, after receiving the signal, door will be opened. In addition to sensors, switches can also be used as a way to open doors.

Generally, there are the following ways to open the door:

1, Motion detection and optical sensors

The majority of motion sensor use microwave or infrared technology to detect movement. Microwave sensor can cover more large area, but infrared sensor is more accurate. Infrared sensors are more commonly used as safety presence sensor to protect the pedestrians precisely.

Laser sensor is also one of the automatic door safety sensor, it uses the Time-of-Flight(TOF) principle to achieve the pedestrian and objects safety protection.

2, Pressure sensors

Pressure sensors are usually as a pressure pads or door mat, through changes in weight or pressure to detect when the door needs to open, and installed on the ground with wired and wireless types. When a person approaches the door and steps on the foot mat, pressure change and door will be opened.

In fact, we have another product--foot pedal switch, can also be used to automatic door opening. It is hidden and low position installation.

3, Push button or touchless switch

Switch is one of the ways of automatic door opening. It is mainly divided into hand press and touch free switch, and can also be divided into wired and wireless switch. Inductive touch free switches are also divided into infrared and capacitive induction switches.

4, Smart tag sets or access control

Automatic doors can also detect and open through access control and smart electric tags.
