CIAS laboratories, thanks to their deep knowledge of the microwave and the analysis of its signal, have created a new technology able to recreate linear microwave rays.

The idea was born from the need for an alternative to infrared rays, which are normally used to protect very narrow corridors, but which by their nature have many limits that can negatively affect performance. Infrared beams are especially vulnerable to climatic conditions such as temperature, glare, solar reflections, fog, and need frequent maintenance such as cleaning of the cover.

MICRO-RAY provides a linear ray covering a very narrow area, exactly as infrared barriers but without the limits of the latter.

The flexibility of application of these new linear microwave beams, thanks to their detection reliability, total immunity to even extreme weather conditions and reduced power consumption, without the need for a heater, makes this product a unique solution of its kind.

What is MICRO-RAY, the first barrier with microwave rays for perimetric protection

MICRO-RAY is a microwave barrier characterized by linear microwave rays specifically developed by our laboratories. While designing this solution, our goal was to provide a new-generation “such as infrared” solution in terms of detection barriers.

MICRO-RAY’s main features include:

• Super-narrow ray: suitable for 1m corridor
• High security: no disqualification
• Beam interruption time: from 10ms to 1sec
• Low power consumption: no heaters needed
• Maintenance: no cleaning of the cover needed
• Built-in anti-climbing lid
• No dead-zone: overlap not required
• Up to 4 rays for free setting up
• Analysis: digital Fuzzy Logic
• Total immunity to fog and sun
• Embedded audio-visual alignment tool with final evaluation
• Adaptability: 1 alarm output per single ray
• Quality: 6 year warranty
• It can be integrated on RS485 and IP
• Can be powered by PoE

MICRO-RAY: the benefits of CIAS’ new-generation microwave barrier

One of the most noticeable benefits of MICRO-RAY is the fact that this microwave barrier is completely immune to the most extreme weather conditions, including UV rays (solar glare) and thick fog. Our solution also is not affected by car headlights, like it would usually happen to standard infrared barriers.

• Sun-immune
• Fog-immune
• Headlights-immune

The second main benefit resides in the way the alarm occurs: not through the analysis of the disturbance generated by any movements within a certain volume – as it happens in standard volumetric microwave barriers – but to the interruption of the very narrow beams of linear microwave energy, following the behavior of the infrared technology

It is also important to point out that each module has an independent output with alarm, fault and tamper that can be connected to any intrusion control panel.
