NEW Customised laser etched CE plates & enclosures

With the focus of many gate installers now turning to ensuring that their newly installed gates are fully compliant, attention needs to be drawn to CE marking. It is a LEGAL requirement for ALL newly installed gates to be CE marked in line with the Machinery Directive, this applies to all automated gates including residential installations.

EGD (Easygates Distribution) is offering their customers laser branded products and CE marking plates. A twenty thousand pound investment into laser equipment means EGD does this in-house with minimal turnaround times. Everything from photocells, intercoms, junction boxes to keyfobs can be laser marked with your company logo and contact details. Serial numbers can be added to remote controls for asset tracking. The marine grade stainless steel CE plates are available in a number of sizes and give an indelible marking method as the regulations require. The overall effect gives a more powerful company brand and advertises your company to others whilst ensuring full compliance with the machinery Directive. EGD offers this service as part of their bespoke attitude to a customer's needs.

A Free personalised sample of a CE marking plate is available by emailing your company logo (preferably in vector format) to tony@easygates.co.uk.

Gate Safety Update: Powered Gate Group Diploma

Following on from the success of last year's 2012 Gate Safety Conference, the DHF Powered Gate Group (PGG) has continued to grow rapidly attracting new members from all over the UK. With a subscription of over 30 + companies now, the PGG is poised to deliver developments of standards and training to its members and the wider Industry. At a recent meeting of the groups technical focus committee (Nov 2012) the foundations for the DHF "Gate Safety Diploma" were laid down. With Part 1 of the training now almost complete, the group will re-convene in February to finalise the Diploma and begin a roll-out schedule for group members.

As development of the Diploma continues, additional modules will be created and added with the ultimate goal of a nationally recognised NVQ level 3 qualification being reached sometime within the next 12 months.

Product Focus: Prastel SECURE Radio Systems

With so many "cloning" radio remote control products hitting the market these days it can be very confusing and difficult to know if your installations are "secure". For example an installer may believe he has installed and commissioned a high security gate system with all appropriate physical security but may have overlooked one simple thing, Radio security!

Many products are available in the UK market now that offer cloning facilities of existing fixed code (and now rolling code) radio remotes. All that is needed is an existing remote from the site or very brief access to the radio receiver to enable un-authorised remotes to be learnt in to the system and used without the prior knowledge of the installer, site management company or end user. This can lead to un‐authorised, non‐audited access to sites and can result in the loss of property or
damage.

Our secure range of Prastel radio transmitters and access control products provides the solution to combat this growing issue. We are able to offer a unique SECURE coding system which not only employs rolling code technology but also utilises installer/site coding systems to prevent the possibility of remote control & receiver cloning. Using the provided PC programmer device an installer can quickly establish a safe & secure radio system unique to themselves that cannot be copied by anyone else.
