Description
The MEK SwingSAFE is a failsafe active infrared sensor that mounts on moving swing or revolving door leaves to stop users being struck. It measures distance in real time with background suppression and a three-dimensional detection field suited to people with disabilities. MEK Uganda supplies it for automatic doors that must meet European door safety standards.
