Door Industry Journal - Spring 2015

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 60 THE door industry journal spring 2015 NRG AUTOMATION’S NEW GARAGE DOOR OPERATOR OPENS THE DOOR TO UP-SELLING. 2015 promises to be an exciting year for the leading supplier of radio controls and tubular motors to the UK roller door market. NRG Automation is the UK distributor for the Teleco control system, and elero tubular motors, as well as King Gate operators. NRG Automation’s Technical Director, Andy Perry explains, “We are able to wirelessly control the automation of most things that move in a domestic environment. From the moment you arrive home, we can open your gates; your roller door; your curtains and blinds; and switch on your lights and boiler: The only thing missing from NRG’s portfolio is a traditional boom operator but this is about to change.” Matthew Berry who has been in the garage door industry since he was 22, selling a wide range of garage doors and operators has joined the company to introduce a brand new operator to the UK market. He told us, “One thing that has excited me about the operator is the wide range of controls and add-ons that will allow dealers to up-sell to their customers. I’ve always been brought up on traditional handsets and perhaps a bell push to open garage doors; but no more. To be able to offer telephone or tablet controlled opening of a garage door really brings this operator into the 21st century, and allows extra sales either at point of sale to the end user, or as a way of selling more product to your customers in the years following the initial sale, such as wired in LED strips for internal or external use”. For more traditional users, NRG Automation offer a huge array of handsets which tick boxes for all generations of users. A top end 4 channel black and chrome transmitter comes as standard with the operator, but it is possible to mix and match handsets which gives you more choice to offer the end user. But what if you just want a soft stop/ soft start operator to open and close your garage door. Well that is possible as well. The Black Edition is a belt driven operator with built in LED light, and with 800N of power it will easily open double doors. One thing that really pleases me, continued Matthew, “Because it has a self learning mode, even I can set it up!” Light up your Garage door and driveway. Nrg Automation now offer a substantial choice of internal and external low voltage LED lights for garage doors, driveways, verandas as well as wireless controls for lights, heaters and ventilation including strip lighting, down-lights and wall lights. Our down-lights are all rated IP65 and operate at 24Vdc making them very safe for the garage door installer to install into the Soffit. Each light is supplied pre-wired with male and female plugs making it easy to ‘daisy chain’ the lights. The final connection is made directly into the garage door operator or separate wireless receiver. Extension cables are available to extend the reach of the lights. We also offer a range of wall mounted low voltage LED lights and driveway lights that if connected into a wireless receiver can be controlled independently of the garage door with a transmitter from our large selection of hand or wall mounted types or remotely using a wireless PIR for added security.
