Made in Germany to the highest standards, the RDC Vision+ is built to last, with TÜV type-tested certification and a 5-year warranty, perfect for tubular motors up to 1,000 W, AC 230 V. Aside from the solid foundations of the standalone product, the RDC Vision+ is also designed for expansion, with a wide range of smart add-on accessories available. These range from the popular photocells, optical safety edge and alarm buzzer, to mobile app & Amazon Alexa/Siri/Google Assistant voice control. With many more potential expansions available on top of these, the RDC Vision+ is versatile enough to suit a wide array of seemingly unlimited needs and requirements. In addition to the versatility of the RDC Vision+, the unit is also extremely convenient to install. This is all thanks to the countless setting and querying options on the device itself and via the optional SOMlink’s service interface, complete with a fully automated learning process for run times to facilitate installation. Pluggable connecting terminals allow for easy and reliable connection, keeping engineers on track with installations. So why do people choose the RDC Vision+ for both their businesses and homes? Mainly because the unit offers a high level of safety and convenience, in operation as well as during installation and set-up. The unit is equipped with standard-compliant safety shutdown, in accordance with Cat. 2, PLd and is TÜV type tested. This means it has been thoroughly tested to some of the highest safety standards in order to comply with industrial business requirements worldwide. It also features integrated evaluation of optical or 8.2 kOhm safety contact strips. Integrated LED technology not only offers durable, energy-saving and efficient lighting, but it also aids the engineer in both setup and diagnosis via integrated LEDs on the connecting terminals and slots. The wide range of settings and extensions combine to create a highly secure, completely safe versatile roller door. The Buzzer is a dual function safety and security product. It’s capable of outputting an acoustic tone during the closing process or when a wicket door is open, whilst also recognising break-in attempts and outputting a loud signal tone. Adding an optical safety edge prevents property damage. If anything is left in front of a closing door, the optical safety edge will detect the obstruction and reopen the door, preventing damage to any vehicles or goods in the way. Photocells provide additional protection, ensuring that when people or pets are caught in the path of them, the door will stop and reverse before making contact with the obstruction. With these safety measures in place, options are open to expanding the functions even further. The door can now be safely controlled when out of the line of sight via SOMweb, and automated features such as the Senso can run without risk to people or property. SOMweb allows you to control doors remotely, by using the app on any of your mobile devices. With one unit you can control or simply check the status of up to ten operators. With data stored within the unit and a SOMloq2 radio control system, security is not an issue. The video function is also available, via an optional video plug-in which enables a live stream of door movement as well as automatic video recordings. The Senso is for monitoring and controlling air humidity in the garage. The RDC Vision+ automatically opens the door slightly if the air humidity is too high, ensuring perfect circulation. As soon as optimal values are achieved, the door will automatically close, reducing the risk of mould formation and rust. The RDC Vision+ with its customisable features and functions is the optimal way to control roller doors.
