Speed-Commander™ 1500 C
Compact Modern Solution for Hospitals, Retail, Grocery, and More
Thanks to anodized aluminum guide tracks and hood, integrated wiring and few visible screws, the Speed-Commander™ 1500 Compact has a refined appearance that is well-suited for areas with customer facing traffic. Our optional remote keypad is a convenient accessory because it can operate all control functions while allowing for the door control box to be remotely installed out of the reach of passersby.

Panel Construction
The industry leader in innovative door technology
Spring Steel Stiffener Stabilizes Panel
The Speed-Commander™ 1500 C has a welded panel, stabilized via a built-in spring steel stiffener so the panel accommodates light internal air pressure conditions.
Product Features
Narrow Guide Track Insertion Area + Draft Seals Stop Airflow at the Doorway
Compact aluminum guide tracks require only 5-½” of clearance on either side of the door opening. The door seals extremely well thanks to the narrow guide track panel insertion area and draft seals. A built-in light curtain reverses the door if a beam is interrupted, minimizing the risk of impact, protecting pedestrians and materials from contact with the door, which ultimately saves on maintenance costs and downtime. Ask about additional safety accessories available to enhance protection of pedestrians and vehicles: LED Lite Advance, advanced technology motion detectors, and more.
Remote Keypad Conveniently Accesses Control Box Functions
More installations are requiring that the door control box is installed out of reach of passersby or completely away from the door in a central location. Integral with the guide track, our optional remote keypad makes it possible to install the control box at a remote location, yet conveniently access all control box functions right at the door, at ground level.
Unbeatable 5 & 2 Warranty
This model comes with:
2.5 million cycles on motor/drive
2 years on all other mechanical and electrical components free from defects
Available Upgrades
Consider these additional upgrades for your individual needs
Optional UPS Emergency Battery Pack
For convenience during a power outage, rather than having to manually open the door, the battery back-up automatically opens the door once. To ensure reliable performance, when the battery is low, an alarm sounds signaling time for replacement.
Widescan Laser Sensor
The Widescan sensor uses laser technology, based on analysis of time of flight. It creates a volumetric area in front of the door opening by generating seven angled laser curtains, and it detects objects based on object size, height, speed, and direction. One device alone carries out three functions: opening the door, area surveillance and safety. More than just a sensor, it becomes a protective mechanism for the door and the user. The Widescan may also be programmed to function as a virtual pull cord. A mobile app is available to easily configure sensor settings from the ground.
Remote Keypad
Performs control box functions from ground level. More and more installations require that the door control box is installed out of the reach of passersby or completely away from the door in a central location. For these types of applications, our remote keypad is the ideal accessory. It allows for the actual door control box to be remotely installed while still having the ability to operate all control functions through a compact, 3” x 5-½” keypad at ground level.
LED Lite Advance
Designed to increase environmental awareness, the LED Lite Advance is bright LED light strips that are attached to the guide tracks or hood for an additional level of safety around the door opening. Easy to install on new or existing doors, lites are solid red when the door is down, flashing red when in motion, and solid green when completely open.
Custom Panel Imprints
Custom panel prints make a big impression. Logos, pictures, and text may be digitally printed onto our Speed-Master® and Speed-Commander™ door panels. The images are durable, UV treated and waterproof. Maximum image size is 7’0” wide x 3’0” high.
