Summertime can bring hectic schedules and priceless memories--golden opportunities for "fun in the sun," and, all too often, momentary "opportunities" when our society's criminal element can catch us off-guard.

Sincerely,
Albert E. Taylor III
President

For many applications, photo-electric (P-E) beams often represent the best choice for a perimeter security system. Installation of P-E beam systems is fast, relatively simple and offers an incidence of "false alarms" that is generally lower than other devices.

A set of photo-electric beams includes a transmitter and a receiver. High-end units have a twin beam or quad beam design that provides even greater security--and fewer false alarm trips--because beams must be blocked before the unit registers an intrusion and sends an alarm signal to your system's master panel. P-E beam systems come in standard ranges of 100 feet, 250 feet and 500 feet. Distances greater than 500 feet can be covered by using two sets of beams. Outdoor P-E beam systems are generally mounted at a height between 12 and 24 inches above the ground. This provides adequate protection for normal security situations,...
