What happens if someone gets in the way or pushes?

MAGNUS is equipped with a push-and-go function and smart obstacle detection. If you gently push the gate open, the motorized hinge automatically takes over. If someone is in the passageway or actively pushes in the opposite direction while the gate is moving, the system detects it immediately. The gate stops and returns, and only moves further once the passage is completely free and safe.

Push & Go

Start opening the gate manually and the motor automatically takes over for a smooth and comfortable opening. 

Automatic opening

In combination with access control, Magnus opens the gate automatically.

Always closed

You decide how long the gate remains open. After that, Magnus ensures a guaranteed closure.

Maintenance-free

The brushless motor works quietly and smoothly without friction. This way, the motor is maintenance-free and a long lifespan is guaranteed.

Reversible motor

This allows manual intervention without blocking or damaging the motor.

No safety sensors required

Thanks to the standard configuration in low-energy, Magnus does not need any additional safety sensors.

How does MAGNUS integrate with other devices or systems?

MAGNUS features three configurable inputs and outputs, making it easy to connect to lighting, electric or magnetic locks, and access control. The system also provides power for these accessories itself, which enables smooth and direct interaction.

Does the gate also work without power?

Yes, in the event of a power failure, the gate can always be operated manually with MAGNUS. This way you remain assured of access.

Are additional sensors required for safe operation?

No, in standard configuration with low-energy, MAGNUS works safely without additional sensors. Thanks to the built-in obstacle detection
and the energy-efficient operation, the gate always opens and closes safely and in a controlled manner. Always check the applicable local building codes to verify compliance for your installations.

Integrated obstacle detection

Is something or someone blocking the closure? Magnus reopens the gate and closes again after a few seconds.

Power supply for accessories

Magnus is not only compatible with access control and lighting, it also provides power supply.
