INVISA SmartGateŽ
The INVISA SmartGate® product line is used today in parking gates,
slide gates, and other powered closures as a non-contact safety sensor,
reducing the potential for the costly vehicle damage and personal
injury that is often accompanied by expensive and time-consuming litigation |

SmartGateŽ PBG-3 Non-Contact Safety Sensor for Parking Barrier Gates
Standard Setting, Presence-Sensing Technology
The SmartGate system provides non-contact safety sensing for parking
barrier gates and slide gates. Unlike older technologies, the SmartGate
safety system has no narrowly focused light beams to keep aligned,
no output lenses or sending units to keep clean, no bulbs or emitters
to burn out, and no expensive in-ground installation. It does not
need frequent adjustments or cleanings and functions with buildups
of ice, water, snow and dust. The SmartGate system's invisible field
puts safety sensing where it should be - moving with and preceding
the hazardous closing gate arm. Patented technology provides the
maximum area of safety sensing and the capability to sense both
people and vehicles. Manufacturers, dealers, consultants, and end
users have recognized SmartGate as the premier safety solution that
helps to reduce the number of personal injury and vehicle damage
claims and to cut overall liability exposure.
Overview
The SmartGate non-contact safety system can easily be installed
into any existing or new gate in about one hour. When alarmed, the
SmartGate system sends signals that, when connected to the correct
input on the gate operator, can signal to stop or reverse the motion
of the closing gate arm. An invisible field surrounds the complete
length of the gate arm. The larger the conductive object, the farther
away the system will "see" it!
Theory of Operation
The SmartGate safety system generates a weak RF energy field from
a "Sense" antenna that is mounted along the length of
the gate arm. Any conductive object introduced between the system's
invisible field and the ground causes a change that is detected
via the antenna causing SmartGate to provide an alarm signal to
the gate controller.
Faster setup and operation.
•Fewer connections
•Digital switches
for "Normal" and "Reduce" settings (easy return
to previous setting)
•Onboard signal
strength LED
(for test and setup)
•Built in frequency
readout
•Field replaceable
fuses
•Larger terminal
blocks (accept standard screwdriver)
•Onboard InvisaShield™
Generator (ISG)
•Onboard audio
output can operate on either alarm condition or when "Reduce"
or "Cutout" is activated - allows faster setup of "Reduce"
and "Cutout" switches
Greater Flexibility.
•Optional dual
input antenna
•Optional remote
ISG
•Optional NEMA
4 enclosure
•4 programmable
"Reduce" and "Cutout" operation modes
•Smaller size
for tight spaces
•Wider range
of operating voltages
•Lower power
consumption
•Relay output
for normal operation and opto-isolated output for lower power operation
(optional)
