Description
The Tomar SSLC-2 Dual Low Current STROBESWITCH is a compact optical detector designed for solar and battery-powered gate systems. It detects emergency vehicle strobe signals to swiftly open access gates, delivering reliable, low-power entry control where radio signals aren’t suitable.
- Detection method: Optical, line-of-sight strobe signal that activates a relay to control gates or doors; operates indoors or outdoors in bright sunlight and adverse weather.
- Low current design: Specifically engineered for solar and battery-powered installations to minimize power draw while maintaining reliable performance.
- Range: Typical detection range of 200 feet, dependent on strobe emitter intensity.
- Field of view: 10° vertical and 90° horizontal, providing wide horizontal coverage while maintaining directional sensitivity.
- Signal acquisition: Rapid 0.64-second response to valid optical signals for quick gate release.
- Indicator: Red LED indicator illuminates when a proper optical signal is received and is visible through the viewport for quick verification up to 25 feet; compatible with optional Hand Held Tester for operation verification.
- Signal frequencies: F14 at 14.035 Hz ±.25 Hz (high priority) and F10 at 10.000 Hz ±.25 Hz (low priority) to discriminate valid signals from other lights.
- Power module: 1790M–2 Power Module supplies 12–24V DC.
- Relay output: DPDT relay rated at 2A @ 30VDC and 0.6A @ 120VAC for versatile gate/door control.
- Time delay & reset: Adjustable 0–30 minutes with a continuous latch mode and remote reset option for maintenance and testing.
Benefits: The SSLC-2 delivers dependable, low-power gate control that’s ideal for solar or battery-backed installations, providing fast and secure access for emergency responses without relying on RF signals. Its digital frequency discrimination minimizes false activations from other lights, and the compact design simplifies integration with existing gate hardware. The clear status LED and optional handheld tester support straightforward verification and ongoing reliability in challenging environments.
