In the fast-paced environment of hospitals, every second matters. Whether in ICUs, emergency rooms, or surgical suites, doors must operate seamlessly to protect staff, patients, and equipment. The OPTEX ELITE PRO Active Infrared Door Sensor Series is engineered to provide complete safety coverage and reliable reactivation for swing doors, ensuring smooth, hazard-free movement in critical healthcare areas.
Safety Through Full Swing Path Coverage
Unlike conventional sensors, the ELITE PRO is mounted directly onto the door and offers full presence detection throughout the swing path. This means the sensor actively monitors the door’s entire movement, from fully open to fully closed, without relying on overhead devices. By detecting both stationary and moving individuals, the ELITE PRO helps prevent accidental contact during high-pressure scenarios, such as transporting patients on stretchers or moving sensitive healthcare equipment.
Designed for Healthcare Setting Demands
Hospitals require solutions that are both safe and intuitive. The ELITE PRO creates a large and adjustable detection area that extends beyond the immediate swing path, adding an extra layer of protection around the door. This feature ensures safety even when staff are rushing through tight spaces or multiple people are moving in and out at once.
Additionally, the ELITE PRO is compliant with “knowing act” door requirements, functioning as a secondary activation sensor without the need for additional devices.
Smarter Installation and Setup
For installers and facility managers, the ELITE PRO can streamline setup process with several standout features:
Polarity-free wiring: Simplifies connections and reduces installation errors.
App-based programming: Wi-Fi controller allows quick setup using a smartphone.
Live detection visualization: Unique to the ELITE PRO, installers can view the detection field in real time on their phone, making configuration and fine-tuning faster, easier, and far more accurate.
The live visualization function of the ELITE PRO not only saves time but also ensures that detection zones are precisely tailored to the hospital’s specific needs.
Full and Low Energy Options
The ELITE PRO is available for both Full Energy and Low Energy swing doors, making it adaptable across a range of hospital applications, from high-traffic automatic doors to controlled-access points. Both models provide consistent safety performance with the same advanced detection features.
A Safer, Smarter Choice for Hospitals
By combining reliable safety coverage with intuitive setup and innovative visualization tools, the ELITE PRO sets a new standard for swing door safety in healthcare. Hospitals can depend on it to minimize risk, improve workflow efficiency, and deliver peace of mind in environments where safety cannot be compromised.
Certified Safety with UL-10C 3-Hour Fire Rating
In healthcare environments, doors not only need to provide safety from accidents, they also serve as critical fire barriers. That’s why it’s essential to pair intelligent door sensors like the ELITE PRO with assemblies that meet stringent fire protection standards. The UL 10C 3-hour fire rating certifies that a door assembly has been tested under positive pressure conditions and can withstand fire for up to 180 minutes, preventing the passage of flames, smoke, and hot gases.
When used with UL 10C-compliant doors, the ELITE PRO supports hospital safety strategies by maintaining functionality without compromising fire resistance. This is particularly important in areas like fire-rated corridors, ICUs, or surgical suites, where both accessibility and fire containment are paramount.
By integrating advanced sensing technology with fire-rated assemblies, hospitals can ensure compliance with fire codes while enhancing safety and efficiency at every doorway.
