Simple is the beginning of a new generation of controls from within the 868Mhz range and is supplied with two TVMIO868P02 transmitters and pre-wired mains cable. Additional glands are supplied for the motor and safety edge spiral cable. Simple offers a competitive radio controller for garage doors with the option to add a wired safety edge only.

Safety edge deactivation (exclusion zone) permits the safety edge to be ‘deactivated’ 50mm from the floor ensuing full closure each time on uneven floors. A bi-directional radio control option displays the positional status of the garage door (open or closed). A red LED would indicate ‘door open’ status and blue ‘closed’. Bi-directional transmitters would be required for this function.

In just a few short months, operations are already fully up and running and the business and its customers are reaping the benefits. Over 95% of sectional door and automation stock is now housed indoors so that it reaches the installer in peak condition. The increased indoor storage has also allowed the company to remove stages of the fulfilment process in terms of offloading and loading, which means less chance of accidental damage during transit. This streamlining of processes has improved efficiencies and saved time too. New forklifts and trucks have also been purchased to assist with this. Managing Director, Steve Hudson, said: “The unprecedented growth in sales volumes we’ve been experiencing meant we were running out of space fast. Having plenty of stock and short lead times is the reason many customers choose us, so maintaining that is paramount. After that though, our customers stick with us time and again for the customer service they receive from us. We achieve this by employing staff who are specialists in their field. By creating a dedicated space for sectional garage doors and automation, we’ve been able to build a team of specialists in that area.” To speak to the helpful, friendly team, please call 01924 472924, email sales@jdukltd.co.uk , visit www.jdukltd.co.uk Technical details: • Transmitter memory: 32 • IP Rating: 20 • Max motor power: 700 watts (300Nm)
