The MAXIRIS technology and housing allow it to be installed on a wide variety of sites:

• logistics sites,
• particularly sensitive sites: prisons, nuclear power plants, military sites, etc.
• public places: airports, metros, etc.
• industrial sites, etc.

Ensure barrier is installed on a stable support (not mesh, unstable pole, etc.).

Ensure ground is level to ensure stability of the columns over time. A maximum of 10° elevation will be tolerated between the columns. In elevations above 10°, contact PROTECH’s sales department.

Ensure site is free from vegetation that could cover the beams, regardless of the season / weather.

Check the cleanliness of the covers. Recommended to clean with a soft and damp cloth at least annually.

Infrared technology operates at a wavelength above that of visible light (950nm), which makes the IR beam invisible to the naked eye.

IR beams are transmitted and received by infrared cells – transmitter cells generate and send a pulsed beam to the receiver cells which capture infrared pulses and turn them into electrical signals. When an absence, loss or change in the signal occurs (loss of 95% of the transmitted signal), an intrusion alarm is triggered. To prevent interference of receiver cells by the infrared beams being transmitted, cells are multiplexed.

Multiplexing is a principal whereby infrared pulses are transmitted in a synchronized manner by an optical or wired link between transmitter and receiver columns. This feature optimizes cell alignment (“alignment feedback”). All the PROTECH IR barriers are multiplexed.
