Guardian Access & Door Hardware Exhibits New Openers at the IDA EXPO

Santa Fe Springs, CA--Guardian Access & Door Hardware demonstrated the model 628M—Music GDO and model 716—a GDO with a Battery Backup power supply at the IDA EXPO 2015 in Indianapolis.

The Music GDO provides entertainment while you work in your garage. Bluetooth speakers in the operator can be easily paired with a smartphone to play music from your phone’s playlist, the ball game from your radio ap or content from any Bluetooth streaming source. Once learned, speakers will automatically pair to your phone when entering the garage. The built-in microphone will also provide the added benefit of a speaker phone. A wall mounted door control console with NFC will enable you to answer or hang-up your phone, control speaker volume or advance your music playlist.

The model 716, a 600N, single light and model 728, an 800N, dual-light operator can be fit with an op-tional Battery Backup power supply. The power supply connects to your GDO like a notebook battery. It is visible and easily removable for use in recharging a phone or computer, powering a radio or even jump-starting your car. When the job is done, just place it back into its holster on the operator to re-charge and be ready for any power outage. The power supply can also be charged remotely through a standard plug-in transformer. This is beneficial in new construction installations where power may not be available. Pre-charging the battery will also eliminate any initial GDO down-time while charging. For your security, low-energy LEDs will take the place of the courtesy light when in battery-backup mode.</p>

Like every Guardian™ operator, these new models are directly compatible with any HomeLink® version and can be configured with a chain or belt, T-rail or C-rail. The new models will complement the 615 & 628 24V DC motor garage door operators as well as the dependable 415 & 425, 1/2HP workhorse operators with reliable AC motors and traditional mechanical limits.</p>
