Introduction and warnings
INTRODUCTION
GARDEN and TOWER MAGNUS are the dual
technology perimeter columns with utmost
reliability and efficacy. The GARDEN version is
camouflaged as a lamp post that combines aesthetics
with functionality to a reliable security device. It is
pre-cabled and ready for installation, composed of a
transmitting and a receiving unit. The transmitter
emits a codified sequence of infrared beams and high
frequency electromagnetic waves directed to the
respective receiver. The microwave device uses
planar antennas of new generation and military
derivation with reduced size owing to the absence of
the cumbersome antenna dish.
GARDEN and TOWER MAGNUS are also indicated for
harsher environments and weather situations (low
temperatures, fog, humidity, wind gusts) thanks to
the built-in automatic temperature control device
and the disqualification system and sturdy aluminium
structure
