It was while channel surfing recently, perhaps sub-consciously scouring for material for our next blog post, that I happened upon a show about apex predators<\/strong>, and it got me thinking about our tried, tested and perfected sliding gate motor, the D5-Evo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is something that has been designed to be the absolute best in its class: purpose-built, tenacious and completely unstoppable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So what exactly is an apex predator?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apex predators have been defined as predators with no natural predators of their own<\/strong>, thus residing at the very top of its food chain<\/strong>. To me, that sums up the D5-Evo<\/strong> perfectly. This superior sliding gate motor exists in a world of many competing operators, each vying for a place at the top of the access automation food chain, each snapping at the ankles of the powerful D5-Evo<\/strong> \u2013 the apex predator \u2013 but never really finding purchase. The D5-Evo<\/strong>remains the dominant operator.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bold claim, I know. So let\u2019s take a quick look at why the D5-Evo<\/strong> is the saltwater crocodile (or tiger, or killer whale) of the access automation arena.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Advanced diagnostics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This feature goes a long way towards establishing our benchmark motor as the undisputed alpha dog in its pack. A futuristic LCD display<\/strong> provides detailed information on everything from the battery and charger voltage to the amount of current being drawn when the gate is in motion to the ID number of the last remote pressed.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Intruder-detection Alarm Modes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We\u2019ve written a great deal about this functionality, and with good reason. Enable theBreak-in Alarm<\/strong>, and you\u2019ll be notified the moment that someone loiters in front of your gate thanks to the controller\u2019s onboard alarm being triggered. Similarly, the Ambush Alarm<\/strong>will notify you should the beams remain interrupted for a pre-defined period of time, so criminals won\u2019t get away with sticking insulation tape over the beam lenses. Remember, you have the apex predator standing guard!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Multiple operating features<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        One characteristic of an apex predator is that it has evolved to adapt remarkably well to its environment. In much the same fashion, we have designed the D5-Evo<\/strong> to be fully configurable to suit any site conditions. From adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down distances, to Positive Close Mode and ultra-safe collision sensitivity, the D5-Evo is the master of its environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Onboard timer technology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          This feature is one of my favourites. Those of you with a working knowledge of ancient Greek will know that the word \u201cchronos<\/strong>\u201d means of or related to time, and it makes a fitting prefix to our built-in, ultra-advanced timer technology known as ChronoGuard<\/strong>. ChronoGuard allows you to set automatic activations for certain times of the day, month or year and even includes a time-barring feature whereby certain inputs can be barred from working after hours, during public holidays, etc. This is absolutely groundbreaking functionality as far as the marriage of access automation and perimeter security goes.<\/p>\n

          What can we say? The apex predator has brains!
