Door Industry Journal - Spring 2018

Domestic Garage Doors Feature 59 THE door industry journal spring 2018 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk switches, keypads, etc. and a relay to operate lighting. The 600Nm unit should also be offered as it can extend function in the future and comes with 4-button transmitters that will make controlling lighting easier. An example of the extra capability worth mentioning if lighting is on the agenda is the 600Nm DRIVE and DRIVE PRO have an ambience pack that allows the opener’s courtesy lights to be triggered by a motion sensor, a great addition to save customers fumbling for a light switch. “I have valuable items in the garage and where we live there are several power cuts a year”. The 600Nm DRIVE and DRIVE PRO is the choice here – Security pack 1 includes a 300kg-force lock upgrade and an alarm that sounds on an attempt to lift the door. The Power Pack assumes the power supply for up to 5 door cycles. “I’m always forgetting to close the door”. All Carteck DRIVES are compatible with the Pearl Vibe and Pearl Status transmitters – these transmitters are Bi-directional – they send a signal to the motor control and receive back a signal to confirm the control has received the signal. This bi-directional capability also allows the transmitters to interrogate the doors status and ask: “are you open or closed” The handset then displays a green light for closed and red for open. If a customer has a smart home system, the 600Nm DRIVE and DRIVE PRO has a Smart Pack module that will transfer the doors status (open/closed) to a smart home system. What else can CarTeck DRIVE do? “Aside from the addition of transmitters, etc., that form the normal add-ons, we have packs for parking, lighting, security, back-up power and access – the full range is covered in our new Brochure”. What’s your view on a single branded solution? “Teckentrup’s CarTeck Sectional Garage Door and CarTeck DRIVE is a complete solution that will inspire confidence in customers. The door and drive are designed as a system and tested for safety and performance by Teckentrup. No need to explain a third- party choice for a motor, when CarTeck Automatic is so completely capable under one brand.” Just one last point – what about the installer? Is it easy to fit and commission, is it quick to fit? “Reasonable questions! To which the answer is emphatically “Yes”. But it’s not a one-piece boom, is the first response from many… No matter … the boom sections are so quick to engage and lock together and are equally as rigid as a one-piece boom, plus there’s fewer parts to assemble on the rest of the motor… so we’d happily accept anyone who’d like to challenge us to a race, that’s how confident we are!” concluded Paul. Teckentrup is running a promotion until the end of May that not only sees their measure service come free when you add a CarTeck DRIVE 600 or DRIVE PRO 600 it also includes a 300kg magnetic motor lock at no cost.
