Product catalog summary
Overview
TDflex™ is an advanced tailgate detection solution designed to prevent unauthorized access at various entry points such as doors, mantraps, airlocks, e-gates, turnstiles, and access points without doors. It utilizes a 3D MLI Sensor™ to ensure only authorized individuals can enter restricted areas, providing an essential security layer to existing access control systems.

Key Features
  • 3D MLI Sensor™ Technology: Utilizes modulated light intensity and optical time of flight principles to create real-time topographic images, accurately detecting unauthorized access attempts like tailgating or piggybacking.
  • High Accuracy and Reliability: Sophisticated algorithms ensure reliable detection even in challenging scenarios, such as individuals carrying luggage or walking closely together. The sensor's performance is unaffected by artificial light or darkness.
  • Embedded Software and Management Tools: Integrated firmware eliminates the need for additional processing hardware. A multi-lingual sensor management tool facilitates configuration, updates, and diagnostics.
  • Easy Installation and Integration: Compatible with various ceiling structures and existing access control systems, TDflex™ offers flexible installation options and seamless integration via digital I/Os and optional XML-RPC communication.
  • Operating Modes: Supports both virtual and real mantrap modes, providing alerts and status indicators based on security strategies and occupancy status.

Additional Functionalities
  • People Counting: Tracks the number of individuals in the detection area, providing alerts if occupancy thresholds are exceeded or not met.
  • Advanced Anti-Tamper Protection: Enhanced optical, mechanical, and electronic functionalities reduce the risk of sensor manipulation.
  • Audible Feedback and Data Logging: Integrated buzzer provides acoustic feedback for various alerts, while historical data logging supports analysis and reporting.

Technical Specifications
  • Mounting Height: 2.5 to 5.0 meters depending on the model.
  • Detection Area: Varies based on configuration, with maximum areas specified for virtual gates and mantraps.
  • Field of View: 90° x 60° or 60° x 40° depending on the model.
  • Operational Temperature Range: –20°C to +50°C.
  • Power Requirements: 24 V DC with a maximum consumption of 2A.

Conclusion
TDflex™ provides a robust solution for enhancing security at access points, offering high accuracy, reliability, and flexibility in various infrastructures. Its advanced features and seamless integration capabilities make it a valuable addition to any security system.

Tailgate Detector - TD The Essential Security Layer for Your Access Control Systems Today’s access control systems are designed to help control and manage authorized access to secure areas. Ensuring that every individual has properly presented a valid ID or successfully cleared biometric identification is a major challenge faced by security professionals. Preventing tailgating and piggybacking, in other words misleading or outsmarting the system, is a problem existing solutions do not sufficiently address. IEE has developed a 3D sensor that uses MLI (Modulated Light Intensity) technology. This...

High Accuracy Sophisticated algorithms and extensive test scenarios ensure reliable detection of people and objects in the detection area. These test scenarios, which consist of people carrying or wheeling luggage, wearing hats, or walking closely together, show that TDf/ex™ can both handle people carrying objects and detect multiple individuals in close proximity. Reliability in Changing Light Conditions As the sensor emits its own illumination, the performance is not influenced by artificial light and the sensor also works in the dark. Embedded Software Due to its integrated firmware, the sensor...

Operating Modes TDflex™ is a Tailgate Detector with two main operating modes: •• Virtual mantrap •• Real mantrap Virtual Mantrap Mode Real Mantrap Mode In this mode, TDflex™ monitors single access points to and from a secure area and is usually installed in front of doors. It is also possible to monitor mechanical or optical turnstiles, or virtual access points without any physical barrier. If an unauthorized person Unauthorized attempts to gain access, access at turnstiles TDflex™ generates an alert. This means that, depending on the security strategy, the door can be locked as a preventative...
