Gate Access Control
When designing a gate access control configuration, many variables have to be considered, for example:
- Is solar power acceptable, or is a constant power source (electricity) necessary either because solar is not practical in your location, or because potential gate downtime must be avoided.
- How many daily cycles (each open/close is a cycle will the gate operate, on average? This will determine the grade of operator you need.
- How will vehicles and pedestrians access the property? Will they use remotes, keypads, card readers, intercoms, or some combination of these?
- Once they are inside, how will vehicles and pedestrians exit the property? Automatic exit loops, remotes, card readers, keypads, or some combination of these?
- How acceptable is gate failure? Do you need battery backup or other redundant systems?
- Are there any security or other unique requirements that have to be addressed when configuring your system?
Past installation projects range from simple solar gate operators with remotes only for ranches and residences, to high-security and high-speed gate installations, including battery backup systems, card readers, automatic vehicle detection and redundant gate entrapment protection at airports and industrial facilities.
