Seismic Measures for Automatic Doors and Factory Equipment: Seismic Device 'HK-2'

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The seismic sensor device "HK-2" detects strong tremors equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 or higher, transmits a signal to the control room, and emergency stops the facility equipment. 【Installation Location】 Automotive parts factory 【Challenges】 Due to the maintenance and replacement of the factory equipment control devices, we considered updating the existing seismic sensors as well, but since production had already ended, we were looking for alternatives. 【Effects After Installation】 The HK-2 has the function to emergency stop equipment during an earthquake, and since its functionality is the same as the existing device, it was introduced as a replacement. Its compact size also allowed it to fit within the existing control panel being used. ★See more examples of the seismic sensor device "HK-2" https://www.hotron.co.jp/recommend/HK-2_lp.html#anchor_a04 ◎For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The seismic sensing device "HK-2" automatically opens the doors to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. 【Installation Location】 Elderly welfare facility 【Challenge】 Since the facility has a high number of elderly individuals coming and going, preparations for disasters were being considered to ensure smooth and rapid evacuation of users in the event of an earthquake. 【Effects After Installation】 The main entrance had automatic doors, so the HK-2 was installed. During an earthquake, the automatic doors opened, allowing for secured evacuation routes. The installation was easy even with the existing automatic doors, and the earthquake measures provided reassurance for both users and staff. Many other cases are also introduced. ★See more examples of the seismic sensing device "HK-2" https://www.hotron.co.jp/recommend/HK-2_lp.html#anchor_a04 ◎For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

The seismic sensor device "HK-2" detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 weak or higher. When such shaking is detected, it transmits a signal to the automatic door controller, allowing the door to open automatically for a certain period of time. 【Installation Location】 Apartment building 【Challenge】 We wanted to ensure an evacuation route by keeping the automatic door open for a certain period during an earthquake, so we were looking for a seismic sensor device that could be linked to the automatic door. 【Effects After Installation】 After the earthquake subsides, the HK-2 has a function that automatically restores the system after a certain period of time, eliminating the need for personnel to go on-site. ★See more examples of the seismic sensor device "HK-2" https://www.hotron.co.jp/recommend/HK-2_lp.html#anchor_a04 【HK-2 Features】 1. Power supply is DC12-24V, making it usable in a wide range of scenarios. 2. Detection sensitivity has four levels (GAL), which can be selected according to your desired application. 3. Compact design allows for easy installation, and restoration is simple with a reset switch. 4. Detection output offers eight different hold times (automatic restoration for all except infinite). ◎For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
