PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Dual STROBESWITCH™ with Beacon is a compact, cost-effective dual detector system designed to provide fast, reliable access control for emergency responders. This system detects an emitter signal from emergency response vehicles, automatically opening access gates and simultaneously providing a high-visibility signal for bystanders and emergency response personnel.
Ideal for HOA communities, gated businesses, municipal yards, airports, and warehouses, this system ensures that emergency vehicles equipped with strobe emitters can quickly and safely access restricted areas without delays.
How the Dual STROBESWITCH™ with Beacon Works
- Emergency vehicles use a specialized emitter to send an optical signal, which can be strobe, LED, or Infrared/IR.
- The TOMAR 2795-2 STROBESWITCH™ detects the emitter signal and verifies the format.
- Once verified, the system activates a relay which can control automatic gates, garage doors, and other security mechanisms.
- The MicroLED® beacon provides a visual warning signal, increasing awareness and safety, in either red or amber (selectable during installation).
- Designed for indoor and outdoor operation, the Dual STROBESWITCH™ with beacon functions reliably in bright sunlight, adverse weather conditions, and low-visibility environments.
Who this Helps
- Fire Departments & First Responders: This system ensures rapid, automatic gate access and visually notifies first responders and nearby personnel by providing a visual signal informing them that the gate is about to open.
- Homeowners & Business Owners: Knowing their gate is equipped with TOMAR’s STROBESWITCH™ system provides peace of mind, ensuring that emergency personnel can quickly and efficiently access the property when needed most.
- Gate Installers: With a streamlined design, this system reduces installation time and overall costs, making it a more efficient and affordable alternative to similar gate access solutions.
