Discover the Hotron SSS-5 Safety Sensor — Setting a New Standard in Swing Door Safety
When it comes to automatic swing doors, achieving full safety compliance without driving up costs has always been a challenge. The Hotron SSS-5 has been engineered to solve exactly that.
Developed by Hotron’s specialist engineers in Japan, the SSS-5 is designed to deliver complete swing door safety coverage using a single, highly efficient module. It’s a solution built not just for compliance—but for practicality, performance, and long-term reliability.
Maximum Safety Coverage with a Single Sensor
The standout feature of the SSS-5 is its industry-leading detection width.
With a 900mm wide pedestrian safety zone, it offers a level of coverage that traditionally required multiple sensors or more complex technologies. This wide detection field ensures that the entire swing area is consistently protected, reducing the risk of missed detection zones.
Importantly, this performance exceeds the requirements of EN 16005, ensuring safe operation for all users—including children, the elderly, and those with reduced mobility. In high-traffic or sensitive environments, that added layer of protection is critical.
More Safety as Standard — Without Added Complexity
Many swing door safety setups rely on multiple components to achieve full compliance. This increases installation time, system complexity, and overall cost.
The SSS-5 takes a different approach.
By delivering full safety coverage from a single module, it removes the need for additional sensors or expensive time-of-flight systems. The result is a cleaner, more efficient installation that still achieves superior protection.
For installers and project managers, this means fewer components to manage, faster installations, and a more cost-effective solution—without compromising on safety performance.
Cost-Effective Compliance You Can Rely On
Meeting EN 16005 standards requires careful consideration of door size, operating speed, and surrounding conditions. In many cases, full door leaf protection is mandatory—particularly in environments with vulnerable users or limited space.
The SSS-5 is specifically designed to simplify this process.
Its wide detection zone and intelligent configuration make it easier to meet compliance requirements without overengineering the system. Instead of adding more hardware to meet the standard, you can achieve it with a single, well-designed sensor.
This allows businesses to maintain high safety standards while keeping project costs under control—a key advantage in today’s competitive market.
Built for Fast, Straightforward Installation
Ease of installation is at the heart of the SSS-5 design. Every feature has been developed to reduce time on-site and simplify setup for engineers.
- Quick connectivity: Each sensor includes a dedicated connector cable, allowing seamless linking between both sides of the door.
- Simple configuration: Intuitive dip switches and adjustable detection zones make setup fast and precise. The unit is pre-configured for EN 16005 compliance, reducing the need for manual adjustments.
- Teach function: A one-touch setup process enables the sensor to automatically learn its environment, eliminating guesswork during commissioning.
- Adaptive performance: Intelligent software continuously adjusts to environmental changes, ensuring stable detection across varying floor surfaces and lighting conditions.
Together, these features deliver a smoother installation process and more consistent results.
Enhanced Visibility with LED Feedback
Hotron continues to innovate, with enhanced functionality on the horizon.
The SSS-5 features advanced external LED indicators designed to improve setup and diagnostics. These LEDs provide clear, real-time feedback on detection zones—making it easier to visualise coverage and accurately position the sensor.
This will also streamline EN 16005 box testing, giving engineers greater confidence during commissioning and maintenance.
A Smarter Approach to Swing Door Safety
The SSS-5 represents a shift in how swing door safety can be delivered—combining wide-area detection, simplified installation, and cost-effective compliance into a single solution.
For installers, it reduces time and complexity. For businesses, it controls costs while meeting strict safety standards. And for end users, it ensures a safer, more reliable experience every time they pass through an automatic door.
If you’re looking to exceed compliance requirements without adding unnecessary cost or complication, the SSS-5 is a solution worth specifying.
