Q1: Why do speed gates sometimes trigger false alarms or become unresponsive?
Dust on optical sensors, misalignment, firmware issues, or electrical noise can cause detection lag or false alarms, especially in high‑traffic lobbies.
BOV equips speed gates with high‑quality IR sensors and firmware optimized for anti‑tailgating. We design sealed optical paths and provide simple maintenance routines to keep sensor windows clean and aligned.
Q2: What happens during a power cut or fire alarm – will people get trapped?
Without proper design, speed gates may stay closed when power fails, creating a safety hazard.
BOV speed gates support fail‑safe “open on power loss” and priority open on fire alarm. Optional battery backup ensures the lanes automatically open for safe egress even when the building power is lost.
