PROTECT YOUR BRAND, USE HOTRON SENSORS
13.12.2011
Greetings from Hotron Sensors!
With the extremes of weather conditions currently being experienced around the globe, never has it been more important to install sensors with the highest quality of infrared technology. In most cases, inferior infrared technology and an inability to adapt to changing atmospheric conditions is the primary cause of malfunction for sensors which obviously leads to an increase in expensive return site visits. Trust Hotron, the pioneers of Infrared sensor technology with over 40 years experience to protect your brand and practically eliminate site revisits due to sensor malfunction.
See what some of our customers have had to say!!
"My company is based in southern Finland and we have customers in northern Finland, It is a very expensive exercise to send installers to northern Finland for call back problems hence we need to use the most reliable sensors on the market. I have been using Hotron sensors for 4 years in the harshest of environments without a single malfunction. I cannot risk to use any other brand" (Technical Director of large Automatic Door Company based in Finland)
"Having tried a number of sensor brands, the Hotron brand performed best in our particular conditions of high temperatures, humidity and intense bounce back glare. Our customer base here in the Middle East is geographically quite vast so we have practically eliminated return site visits due to sensor malfunctions to nil. I highly recommend the Hotron brand if you require reliability and customer service" (Director of Operations of Automatic Door Company based in the Middle East)

The new HR100-CT super sensor
07.07.2011
We have taken active infrared technology to a new level. Our engineers in Tokyo have been hard at work developing the pioneering HR100-CT super sensor and we are excited to announce it’s release to the market.
The HR100-CT is an all infrared combined activation and safety sensor certified by TUV to comply with DIN18650.
It has 2 features unique to Hotron:
- “Door Learn” technology which allows the inner row of safety detection to be focused inside instead of in front of the moving door leaf resulting in excellent pedestrian safety
- Uni-directional ability which saves energy by reducing door hold open time by 20%
The HR100-CT follows the same key design features of all our sensors; in particular ease of installation through clear instructions printed on the sensor body.
We have the HR100-CT in both black and silver in stock now and ready to ship to you as soon as we receive your order (orders@hotron.com)
