How does Secure Escape Work?
Secure Escape (Patent Pending) is designed to work with new electronic garage door openers and as a retrofit to systems that are already installed. There are four primary elements of the Secure Escape system:
- Collapsible Circuit Technology continually monitors for an activation signal. A signal from a fire detector, an alarm system or a home automation system can be wired into the product. The Secure Escape system utilizes three electronic redundancies, and if the circuit is broken by an activation signal, Secure Escape opens the garage door.
- Thermal Sensor will also cause the garage door to open when a fire is sensed and the thermal link is compromised.
- Home Owner's U-Test-It Latch ensures that the door will not close by an electronic signal, or even by someone trying to manually shut the door. The mechanical lever overrides the door's ability to close until the Secure Escape unit is reset.
- Battery Backup System designed to work in emergency situations, the battery backup makes certain the door opens even if a fire or other problem knocks out the electrical power to the house. Intelligent logic is designed into the Secure Escape unit to continually monitor the battery. It will sound an alarm to verify that the garage door's mechanical parts and technology are tested annually.
