ACCESS CONTROLS
Open/Close/Stop push button stations, key switches, exit loops, remote transmitters and various other types of interior or exterior mounted controls. Consult factory for additional options. Emergency egress handle, flush or surface mount with a 15’ or 30’ release cable. 
> View Access Control Details

SAFETY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Option: Electric Monitored Sensing edge with a coil cord.
Option: Redi-Reverse™ Light Curtain consists of a 6’0” high light curtain integral to the guides, left and right. If an object passes through the light curtain during the close cycle, the door will reverse to the open cycle and come to rest upon reaching the open limit.
Option: Photo safety sensors mounted to the guides 6” above the finished floor that project an infrared beam across the width of the door. Breaking the beam while the door is in motion will result in the immediate stop of downward travel and reverse the door to reopen to the top limit.

These are the operator options for Alpine’s Mall-Dawn™ security door. Please see our entire line of service door operators. Alpine’s security door operator is UL 325 standard and constructed with the highest quality material and the latest in technical innovation. This ensures that each roll up door motor exceeds the requirements it is meant to achieve. Alpine is sure to have an operator that will meet all your individual specifications.
