DK-12PRESENCESENSOR
The DK-12 is an active infrared presence sensor which is used for activation or safety on all types industrial
doors (high speed doors, sliding doors, rolling steel, vertical lift, etc.). The DK-12 projects a pyramid shaped
pattern that extends to the floor. It will automatically adjust itself upon initial programming to compensate for
bright light, shiny floors, various colors of carpeting, etc. It also has a fine tuning adjustment to accomodate
the most extreme environments.
For smaller openings, the DK-12's pattern can be reduced by shutting off one or two of the four zones
available, making it ideal for narrow doors or areas. When a door opening is 8 feet or less, one DK-12 should
be used and when a door opening is greater than 8 feet, two DK-12 s’s should be used.
Because it is microprocessor driven, the DK-12 has the ability to be programmed and to adapt to changing
environments. When the immediate area around a doorway gets cluttered with items that should not be there
such as pallets, pallet jacks, garbage cans, etc., the DK-12 will see these unwanted objects and begin to
learn the object and resume normal operation after the preset time delay expires. This is known as self-
adaptation and is adjustable from 30 seconds to 25 minutes.
