OPTEX DETECTORS AT MANCHESTER
BUSINESS PARK A recently refurbished business park in Manchester that wanted a more modern and flexible security solution than its existing manned- guarding operation turned to a complete new electronic system that relies on OPTEX REDSCAN laser sensors.
Greencourt Business Park’s
current landlords, Barwood Investments, purchased the site at the end of 2013 and undertook a significant refurbishment programme to improve the buildings, the landscaping and the security of the whole site.
Electronic security system
integrator, Clarion, designed a system delivering high security, capable of replacing the costly manned guarding solution that had been used historically. The site is constantly in use so the

system needed to be flexible in its configuration and always ‘on’.
For Clarion the best way to protect
the site was to secure the perimeter with an access control system working in conjunction with intrusion detection and an IP CCTV system. At the heart of this solution was the deployment of nine OPTEX REDSCAN laser sensors, scanning the activity on the perimeter and inside.
The laser sensors detect vehicles and people within a 30 meter

Rob Kirby, Lexington Chef Director says, “What a fantastic result! The guys had practised and practised their dishes, drilling down their technique and style to compete against the industries finest and their dedication really shows. For us to win all ‘Best in Class’ across 100% off the competitions entered is a Lexy first - an amazing team win that absolutely underpins our real food culture’. Rob went on to say:
radius and aren’t affected by light or weather conditions. They were integrated by Clarion with the vehicle barrier and the IP based intercom system so that they don’t trigger when an authorised vehicle or person enters the site. The REDSCANS integrate directly with the Video Management System, triggering dome cameras to go to pre-set positions to track any detected intruder and send an alarm to the monitoring station.
“Our philosophy at Clarion is to provide a solution that offers flexibility to the customer and minimises unwanted alarms so the monitoring station can operate at its best,” said Chris Billinge, Managing Director at Clarion.
“We chose OPTEX REDSCAN for this project for its flexibility and stability; it was easy to set up customised detection areas and to integrate the perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) with the rest of our security system. The system has proven very stable since the installation.”
