This innovative system takes advantage of proven microwave radar technology to provide the industry with the first-of-its-kind, fully compliant (EN12453), safety-rated radar detection system for pedestrians and vehicles. After over 24 months of field testing and in-house development, ASO is confident in the solutions’ capabilities and the benefits they can bring to manufacturers and installers alike. The LISENS scan system consists of a controller and up to 6 radar head units connected through a simple 2-wire bus system, allowing for easy connection and expansion. Configuration is carried out using an embedded web server within the controller, which connects via an onboard secure Wi-Fi hotspot. Once physically fitted, the system can be commissioned in minutes through the onboard software. A selectable safetyrated output (8K2, FSS, NC) compatible with all major control systems is present. In addition, the system has 2 further configurable ‘Warning’ zones that can be easily set up to carry out functions such as virtual loop detectors for vehicles or pedestrian-only triggering zones through their own selectable output. With the traffic barrier version’s launch scheduled for Q1 2025, ASO and its worldwide partners will be in a prime position to provide a complete, non-contact safety radar solution to its customers and distribution partners worldwide. Stuart Roddy, National Sales Manager for EasyGates Direct, said: “This system combines all the benefits of current non-contact solutions (Type E devices according to EN12453) with additional features and benefits that radar technology brings. We are convinced this system will solve many technical challenges for our customers where other technologies have previously faltered. Combined with our UK-wide dealer network and excellent technical support & training facilities, we look forward to ushering in a new era in non-contact safety for the UK barrier/gate/door markets.” More details of this fantastic new safety product are available through ASO’s UK competence partner, EasyGates Direct, or via ASO’s own web and social media channels.
