Technical guides and product notes from the AURWEN engineering team.
Wireless switches save cabling but bring battery and signal questions; wired switches are dependable but need a cable run. A practical comparison for specifying door activation.
Revolving doors need presence detection, not activation: what to install above the door, how detection zones work, and the checks that prevent the door from stopping mid-rotation.
A worked design walkthrough for a controlled automatic sliding entrance: how the reader, access controller, electric lock, exit switch and safety sensors are specified and connected on one door.
Choosing access control for an automatic door means matching the reader, controller, electric lock, exit device and safety sensors to the operator. A practical selection guide for installers and contr
AURWEN supplies access control, activation, safety and sensing products for automatic doors: readers, keypads, touchless switches, presence sensors and electric locks for sliding, swing and revolving
Automatic doors have working modes — automatic, one-way, half-open, locked, fully open. How function selectors work, who uses them, and how to choose between key, LCD and remote versions.
When mains power fails, an automatic door must still open for people and stay usable for evacuation. What a door backup power unit does, and how to specify one.
Magnetic locks and electric bolts secure automatic doors in different ways. Holding force, mounting geometry, fail behaviour and power — how to choose between them per door.
Readers, credentials, controllers, electric locks, exit switches and safety sensors only work as a system. How the pieces of an automatic sliding door access control chain fit together.
Touchless switches win on hygiene and accessibility; touch and press switches win on simplicity and cost. A practical comparison to help you choose per door, not per fashion.
