Top Door Alarm® is an immediate detection and notification system alerting caregivers of potential acts of self-harm when a door is used as a ligature point.


Proactive
PRESENCE Detection

Top Door Alarm® is the only suicide door alarm system in the industry to offer state-of-the-art photoelectric beam detection which detects PRESENCE before pressure is ever applied to the door. No longer is a facility required to wait until an actual event is in progress to notify staff for emergency assistance.

Presence Detection Technology

Protected by specially designed anti-ligature casings, photoelectric beam sensors are strategically positioned to detect the presence of any foreign object interrupting the thru-beam between the transmitter and receiver, and provide maximum door detection on corridor, bathroom or therapy room doors.

TOP Door Presence Detection
Photoelectric beams installed on the door frame header and top door face detect the immediate presence of a foreign object, such as a bed sheet, towel or clothing, when placed over the top of the door.

BOTTOM Door Presence Detection
