PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TOMAR model SSLC-1014 Low Current STROBESWITCH™ is a compact, low-current, detector for opening access gates automatically for properly equipped emergency vehicles. The SSLC-1014 features a low idle current draw making it ideal for solar-powered gate openers.
The TOMAR Strobeswitch™ are activated by the optical emitters used by most fire department emergency vehicles to control traffic signals en route to an incident. The model SSLC-1014 features a 1/2” female pipe hub mounting base.
Like all Tomar Strobeswitch detectors the SSLC-1014 is compatible with optical signals from all Tomar Strobecom and GTT OPTICOM* emitters

How it works
An emergency vehicle uses a special optical emitter to transmit a signal. The TOMAR STROBESWITCH™ receives this signal, and if the signal format is correct, activates its solid-state output relay. The relay output may be used to control security gates, fire department garage doors, and other devices.
Signaling is optical by line of sight, and the TOMAR STROBESWITCH™ can operate indoors or outdoors, in bright sunlight, or in any weather. The unit is not susceptible to radio frequency interference, and uses digital frequency discrimination to reject unwanted signals, such as flashlights, emergency vehicle lighting systems, flashing signs, etc.
