For Immediate Release
Skylink Group launches 3-in-1 system that will help prevent countless accidental deaths
(Toronto, Ontario) March 16, 2006 – The Skylink Group today announced the launch
of the ‘Garage Master’, a three-in-one automated system that functions as a
garage door closer, receiver and a carbon monoxide door opener.
"We are pleased to announce the launch of this innovative product,” said Gallen
Tsui,
President of Skylink, which is a leader in wireless technology. “The Garage
Master
provides homeowners with a fully functional three-in-one system designed to
increase
safety in the garage and prevent countless accidental deaths each year,” he
added.
The Garage Master (patent pending) includes a carbon monoxide door opener that
automatically opens the garage door after sensing the CO detector’s alarm. When
the CO
level exceeds the safety limit, the CO detector sounds an alarm that then
activates the
Skylink audio sensor. The audio sensor then sends a signal to the Garage Master
which
opens the garage door immediately to ensure proper ventilation. An audio sensor
–
model AS-101 and CO detector (a conventional CO detector is not included as part
of the
system) is required for the Garage Master to work.
“Carbon monoxide poisoning is responsible for thousands of death each year in
North
America”, said Tsui. “The Garage Master will ensure a safe environment from
dangerous exposures to CO in the garage. Turning your car on and leaving the
garage
immediately can still pose a threat from CO poisoning. The Garage Master will
ensure
homeowners are safe at all times in the garage”, he added.
The Garage Master also functions as a Garage Door Closer allowing homeowners to
set
their garage door to close after a predetermined period of time. A garage door
monitor
hooked up to the garage door will sense if the door is fully closed. If the
monitor senses
an ajar door, a wireless signal is sent to the Garage Master, which will
activate a built-in
timer. The timer can be set by the homeowner to a predetermined time of two to
twenty
minutes, which will then activate the garage door to close.
Up to 14 Skylink Transmitters can be programmed to the Garage Master for daily
use
throughout your home. Rolling code technology allows the homeowner to operate
their
Garage Master with transmitters and upgrade their fixed code garage door opener
to
rolling code, which enhances security. A rolling code transmitter – Model 4B-434
is
required.
The Garage Master requires minimal installation. Homeowners can simply replace
their
existing wall button with the garage master or connect the garage master in
parallel with
the wall button. For most garage door openers, external power and batteries are
not
required.
The Garage Master system sells for $50 (CDN)/$45 (U.S) and is available for
worldwide
market, more information at www.skylinkhome.com.
