SELECTORS: what they are and what types to choose from

Nowadays everyone is looking for better security for their homes, offices and other properties, and more and more people are looking for solutions that give certainty in this area.
In recent years, advances in technology have led to the invention of very sophisticated opening and closure systems, totally automated through the use of buttons, remote controls, smart cards, numeric codes, fingerprints, smartphones, etc.

These types of instruments also include selectors – accessories that complete your security system and facilitate our daily actions.

Here’s an example.

A situation that can easily happen on your return home is that you cannot find the remote control to open the gate , or maybe you want to go for a jog without having to bring a key or remote control along.  LIFE Home Integration has listened to this type of need and responded with its range of selectors for automatic gates.

Let’s take a closer look at what it’s all about.

Selectors are electrical/mechanical and/or digital electronic devices designed to let you select and set the desired operating modes for one or more automatic doors. They are suitable for sliding doors, swing doors, garage doors and barriers and any other requirement for automation, lights, irrigation systems, etc.

Depending on your needs, you can operate gate opening through classic key switches, keypads or transponder selectors. The transponder solution only allows users with cards or tags to enter, while keypad selectors let you manage the barrier’s opening through a customisable numeric code.

These accessories make up comprehensive automatic locking systems ensuring flexibility of application that is well suited to diverse needs.
