HySecurity’s HydraWedge™ SM50 and StrongArm M30™ made a huge splash among the 30,000 ASIS security show attendees at the Anaheim Convention Center in September. "ASIS is a very important place for HySecurity to show its latest and greatest high security products," says Pete Hakio, HySecurity VP of sales. "There were few moments when our sales and engineering staff weren’t demonstrating HydraWedge and StrongArm M30 for government, military or industrial security professionals. ASIS is always an important HySecurity show, but this year we hit a home run exhibiting two unique and impressive crash vehicle barriers."

 The IRB-MON is a monitored, weather-proof, thru-beam infrared photo eye solution providing entrapment protection for doors, gates and barriers. The IRB-MON Safety Photo Beam is UL325 compliant, and housed in a rugged NEMA 4X enclosure. It is designed to meet the upcoming 2016 UL325 regulation.
The universal design of the IRBMON allows it to be used with operator types that require a frequency (heartbeat) for monitored operation or those that require relay connections. Monitored output is achieved by using the "heartbeat" output from the IRBMON to assure that the connections to the photo eye are intact and that the photo eye is operational. Monitored output may also be achieved using the relay contacts, cycling power of the transmitter and verifying the contact closure at the receiver before the actuation of the operator. Non-monitored output is provided by a set of form C relay contacts. The IRB-MON addresses a wide variety of external entrapment protection needs due to its long range, thru beam detection technology and selectable frequency feature.

Businesses are falling all over themselves to get social media right. There is no doubt that being present on all the prominent social media channels leads to better credibility and improved brand recall in the minds of your target consumer segments. However, companies consistently fail to realize that a Like or a Follow does not lead to advocacy or engagement.
