Activating Devices: Acugard 3 LE Low Energy ADA

The NABCO ACUGARD 3 LE Low Energy ADA is an affordable way to add extra pedestrian protection to low energy swing doors. The ACUGARD 3 LE Low Energy ADA is a bar type sensor that can be mounted on the approach (non-swing) side of the door to prevent the door from closing on slower moving traffic, such as the elderly or handicapped, until they are through the entrance and completely out of the path of the door. The ACUGARD 3 LE Low Energy ADA can also be mounted on the swing side to stop the door from opening in the event that someone is in the swing path while a pedestrian is approaching. Multiple delay settings allow installers to adjust for the varying requirements of the application such as hold open time. The detection pattern depth is also adjustable and allows optimization of door performance. The ACUGARD 3 LE Low Energy ADA is compatible with 12-24 VDC and 24 VAC power sources allowing seamless interface with Gyro Tech®’s low energy, ADA GT 710 and GT 500 swing doors and the low energy equipment of other manufacturers. The ACUGARD 3 LE Low Energy ADA enhances the performance of low energy door applications while exceeding ANSI/BHMA standards for safety. Features Focused active infrared pattern detects moving or stationary objects. Sensors remain at full strength at all times Mounted on the top rail of the door panel, out of reach of shopping carts and hospital beds which typically impact doors Adjustable pattern depth optimizes sensing area Optional Acusensor 1B can provide additional threshold protection Four delay settings allow installers to adjust hold open times for varying requirements Compatible with 12-24 VDC and 24 VAC low energy sources allowing seamless interface with all GyroTech equipment and the equipment of other manufacturers Improved detection area for superior performance The ACUGARD 3 LE will function on all older non-microprocessor based controls, allowing upgrades of existing systems to the new ANSI standard Push button programming for easy set-up Available in Stock lengths – can be field cut to fit application
