When it comes to perimeter security system, there is a variety of solutions available on the market, but since it is normally an outdoor installation, we have to consider some random factors such as animals, falling leaves, adverse weather conditions, etc. Active Infra-Red Beams, are a reliable method of intruder detection. When they are installed inside perimeter towers, they remain hidden from potential intruders’ sight and at the same time, protected against impacts and vandalism. This is important in order to ensure the correct detection and to reduce false alarm rates.

Infra-Red Beams work by sending a modulated beam of infra-red light from a transmitter to a receiver. When an object appears and interrupts a signal, the receiver sends an alarm signal to a control panel by means of a dry contact relay. It is important to point out that this will occur only if the “intruder” interrupts all beams at the same time, so that no signal from any of the beams reaches any of the lenses of the receiver. Only in that case an alarm would be generated. Why? In order to reduce false alarms generated by the previously mentioned external agents, heavy fog, snowfall, etc.

To ensure an optimal detection, it is very important not only to protect, but also to set up the beams correctly and for this purpose Bunker Seguridad has designed the easyPack prewired beam tower, with all the basic elements already installed, wired and perfectly organised inside. This way you reduce considerably the installation time and costs. For instance, if you have to relocate staff to the place where you want to protect the perimeter, this entails relocation expenses, maintenance costs, etc. The less time the technical staff spends installing the perimeter security system, the greater the optimization with lower costs and fewer installation errors.

We install TAKEX infrared beams inside, to ensure stablility, accurate detection, low false alarm rate and a very long service life. This qualities make TAKEX one of the most prestigious Japanese security equipment manufacturers. TAKEX Photoelectric Beam Sensors offer a complete protection based on Double Modulation, Tuning Amplifier and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) systems technologies. The combination of features and reliability ensures unrivalled tolerance against direct or reflected sunlight, vehicle headlights and other light sources.

In addition, easyPack prewired beam towers are adapted to the requirements of each installation. Both, beam towers’ format and the number and model of sensors included can be chosen. Single-sided and double-sided options are available for ground or wall mounting. All you have to do is to fix the tower to the floor or wall, wire the power supply, place the frequency on the barriers and align them according to the instructions.
