RECHARGING SYSTEM FOR A REMOTE CAPACITIVE SENSING APPARATUS

摘要

A charging system (10) for recharging a remote control module batteries (15) includes electrical contact pads (14) and (18). The first contact pad (14) includes a deicing circuit (28), and a charge enabling switch (36), and is mounted on a post or door frame which engages a sliding gate (12). The second contact pad (18) is connected to the remote control module (15), and is mounted on a sliding gate (12). A charge-enabling switch (38) is operative to cause a charge current to flow from a power source (32) to the remote control module batteries (15) through the first and second pads (14) and (18), when the first and second pads (14) and (18) are in electrical communication.
