The SW100’s motor is
equipped with an electronic
door brake that controls
the door’s speed when
it is pushed or blown unexpectedly.
This unique feature
reduces the wear and
tear that results from windy
weather conditions or
harsh treatment by users,
extending the life of the
door opener or door closer.
The LiteGuide system
shows the safe way out
with sound and light.
Among the product’s advantages, the self-adjusting closing
force ensures that the door closes with sufficient force. The
product can also sense when the door has not closed completely
and will cause the door to open and then close fully
for an increased level of security.
Illuminating the route to safety
Life-safety codes throughout the United States have taken
steps to improve building evacuation by increasing the visibility
of exit pathways. ASSA ABLOY’s family of LiteGuide
products supplements these emerging codes by incorporating
new technologies into doors, frames and hardware.
The latest of these life-safety innovations is the Beacon exit
device from SARGENT.
Beacon is an audible and visual alarm which is connected
to a building’s alarm system and has special features
for the disabled. When the alarm is activated, Beacon emits
a pulsating light and white noise. The white noise attracts
attention when visibility is poor and acts as an interference
filter for sound so that people can concentrate on the
emergency announcement saying where the nearest emergency
exit is. The exit device emits a laser beam which
assists orientation in a dark and smoke-filled room.
Advanced package solution with RFID strike
A hybrid electric strike from the Group company HES is the
first to combine an integrated HID Proximity contactless
card reader with the physical security of a Grade 1 electric
strike, thereby offering installers and end-users faster installation
and greater security.
It enables installers to pull wires to a single location,
rather than cutting both wall and doorframe. Developed to
work with any Wiegand-compatible access control system,
the strike encompasses everything inside the doorframe
and not only increases tamper-resistance but also improves
the aesthetics of the installation.
This development project also provides a platform to allow
other ASSA ABLOY brands to integrate RFID technology in
other relevant areas.
Revolutionary RFID technologies
Medeco Hybrid allows mechanical masterkey and electronic
access systems to be merged for maximum flexibility,
security and convenience. The Hybrid platform consists of
dual-technology RFID keys and cylinders which work
together to combine the flexibility of electronics with the
physical protection of mechanics. The Hybrid Cylinder,
which requires no wiring or door and hardware alterations,
gives end-users the functionality of electronic access control
without costly or specialized installation requirements.
In a matter of minutes, a door can be retrofitted with
access control, and can be integrated into most existing
systems at less cost and greater convenience.
ASSA ABLOY contributes to the 2008 Olympics
With the eyes of the world on China in 2008, the Beijing
Olympic Games will be the biggest event of the year.
Honeywell, the electronics contractor for the Bird’s Nest
Project (the National Stadium), has appointed ASSA ABLOY
as its supplier of door opening solutions for all electronic
doors. After thorough consideration, Honeywell decided
that products from effeff and Trimec best met the customer’s
requirements.
