This article provides detailed answers to key customer concerns, including safety, detection range, and recognition accuracy.

1. Safety: How Does It Protect Pedestrians?

The SafeScan laser safety sensor uses Class 1 laser (eye-safe) and complies with the IEC 60825-1 international safety standard, ensuring no harm to humans during long-term use.

Core Safety Features

Anti-pinch Protection: Monitors the door’s movement path in real time, stopping or reversing upon detecting obstacles.
Anti-Interference Design: Unaffected by ambient light (sunlight, artificial light), minimizing false triggers.
IP65 Protection Rating: Dustproof and waterproof, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments.

2. Detection Range: What Is the Maximum/Minimum Coverage?

SafeScan offers adjustable detection range to suit different door types:

Parameter

Specification

Minimum Detection Range

0.3 meters

Maximum Detection Range

5 meters

Detection Angle

Horizontal ±15° (custom wide-angle version available)

Recommended Applications

Small Doors (0.3~2m): Offices, retail stores, and other confined spaces.

Large Doors (3~5m): High-traffic areas like hospitals, shopping malls, and airports.

3. Recognition Accuracy: How Does It Avoid False Triggers or Missed Detections?

SafeScan employs high-precision Time-of-Flight (TOF) laser technology, offering advantages over traditional infrared or microwave sensors:
Higher Precision: Detects obstacles as small as 5cm×5cm (e.g., a child’s arm or pet).
Smarter Filtering: Dynamic algorithms ignore interference from leaves, rain, or snow.
Faster Response: Door movement stops within 0.1 seconds upon obstacle detection.

Comparison with Traditional Sensors

4. Installation & Calibration Tips

Mounting Height: Recommended 0.6~1.2 meters above ground (covers both adults and children).

Multi-Sensor Coordination: For double swing doors, install one sensor on each side for full coverage.

Test Mode: After installation, conduct obstacle simulation tests to ensure responsiveness.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Does the laser sensor work reliably in bright sunlight?
→ Yes! SafeScan uses 940nm invisible laser, completely unaffected by sunlight.

Q2: Can it detect people behind glass doors?
→ Yes! The laser penetrates transparent glass, but the glass must be clean and untinted.

Q3: What is the sensor’s lifespan?
→ Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) >100,000 hours, supporting 24/7 operation.

6. Why Choose SafeScan?

Safety Certifications: CE, RoHS, ISO 13849 (Machinery Safety Standard).
Custom Solutions: Adjustable detection range, single/multi-beam configurations.
Global Applications: Deployed in 5,000+ projects, including hospitals, subway stations, and smart buildings.

Conclusion

With its precision, reliability, and flexibility, the SafeScan laser safety sensor is the ideal choice for automatic swing door protection. For technical specifications or customized solutions, feel free to contact us!

Why Your Automatic Door Doesn't Fully Close – Causes and Solutions for Gaps and Sealing Issues

Automatic doors are essential in modern buildings, offering convenience, efficiency, and enhanced security. However, one common issue faced by many users is the door not closing completely. This can result in visible gaps, poor sealing, energy loss, and compromised safety. If you're experiencing this problem, you're not alone. In this article, we’ll explain the key causes and practical solutions to help you restore the full functionality of your automatic door. Common Reasons Why Automatic Doors Don't Fully Close Sensor Malfunction or Misalignment Automatic sliding doors rely on sensors to detect movement and control the opening and closing cycle. If the sensor is misaligned or malfunctioning, it may misinterpret the surroundings and stop the door prematurely, leaving a gap. Obstructions in the Door Track Dirt, debris, or foreign objects in the track can obstruct the door’s movement, preventing it from fully closing. Even small particles can cause resistance that affects al...

How to Solve Common Automatic Door Issues: Jerky Movement, Noise & Uneven Speed

Automatic sliding doors have become an essential part of modern commercial and residential buildings. However, users may occasionally encounter performance issues such as jerky movement during opening or closing, loud operational noise, or uneven door speed. As a leading OEM manufacturer of automatic door operators, we understand how frustrating these problems can be—and we're here to help you troubleshoot and resolve them effectively. Common Causes of Automatic Door Performance Problems 1. Dirty or Damaged Tracks and Rollers Dirt, debris, or worn-out rollers can cause the door to move unevenly or produce noise. This is one of the most common reasons for jerky door operation. Solution: Regularly inspect and clean the track. Replace worn or damaged rollers with high-quality OEM parts to ensure smooth operation. 2. Incorrect Door Alignment If the door is misaligned, it may rub against the track or side panels, resulting in noise and uneven motion. Solution: Have a qualified technicia...

What is the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors, and when should they be replaced or upgraded?

Automatic door infrared sensors are vital components in modern building access systems, offering convenience, safety, and energy efficiency. These sensors are designed to detect the presence of individuals or objects and trigger the door's opening and closing. However, like any technology, they have a finite lifespan. In this article, we will explore the typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors and when they should be replaced or upgraded to ensure optimal functionality and safety. The Lifespan of Infrared Sensors The typical lifespan of automatic door infrared sensors can vary based on several factors, including the quality of the sensors, environmental conditions, and the level of use. However, on average, infrared sensors are expected to function reliably for approximately 5 to 10 years. Factors Affecting Lifespan 1.  Quality and Durability: High-quality sensors made from durable materials tend to have a longer lifespan. Cheaper or poorly constructed sensors may wear ...
