The Interceptor is a Passive Infra-Red detector which offers a low-cost alternative to a microprocessor controlled active infra-red system and provides more coverage than a number of photo-cells.

It is sensitive enough to detect a person's hand or foot and has an effective range of up to 4m typically. It runs from a regulated DC supply and may be connected directly to many types of lift controller.

Suitable for automatic door installations only, the Interceptor is packaged in a black plastic moulded box that is only 12mm wide. It has been specifically designed to be positioned in the top corner of the lift car door, flush with the leading edge and is fixed to the door. If it is not possible to mount the Interceptor directly onto the door, an optional fixing plate is available.

Since the Interceptor responds to thermal changes, the Interceptors field of view should remain at a relatively stable temperature; in most installations this is automatically provided by the slampost, the lift car sill or the air in the running clearance.
