Product Usage Instructions

  1. MOUNTING & WIRING:
    • Remove the bracket from the sensor.
    • Drill 2 holes accordingly.
    • Mount the bracket firmly.
    • Position the sensor on the bracket and fasten the screws firmly.
  2. MOUNTING ADJUSTMENT:
    • Connect the wires to the door controller.
    • Choose between NO and NC contact.
    • Adjust the angle of the sensor to position the detection field.
    • Adjust the field size with the remote control or the push buttons.
  3. DETECTION FILTER (REJECTION MODE):
    • Choose the correct detection filter for your application with the remote control or push buttons.
    • Detection of all targets (pedestrians and parallel traffic are detected).
    • Detection only of vehicles moving toward the sensor* (pedestrians and parallel traffic are not detected + disturbances are filtered).
    • Value recommendations according to angle and height:
    • 23 ft – 11.5 ft: 3
    • 8 ft: 4
    • Always check if the chosen value is optimal for the application. The object size and nature can influence the detection.
      • The vehicle detection filter increases the response time of the sensor.
  4. LED SIGNALS:
    • LED flashes quickly: no detection
    • LED flashes: detection
    • LED flashes slowly: red & green blinking
    • LED flashes x times: power on / learn
    • LED is off: normal mode

POSSIBLE SETTINGS BY REMOTE CONTROL

ADJUSTING ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS

CHECKING A VALUE

POSSIBLE SETTINGS BY PUSH BUTTONS

TO START OR END AN ADJUSTMENT SESSION, press and hold either push button until the LED flashes or stops flashing.

TO SCROLL THROUGH THE PARAMETERS, press the right push button.

TO CHANGE THE VALUE OF THE CHOSEN PARAMETER, press the left push button.

TO RESET TO FACTORY VALUES, press and hold both push buttons until both LEDs flash.

ACCESS CODE

The access code (1 to 4 digits) is recommended to set sensors installed close to each other.
SAVING AN ACCESS CODE:
DELETING AN ACCESS CODE:

Once you have saved an access code, you always need to enter this code to unlock the sensor.
If you forget the access code, cycle the power. For the first minute, you can access the sensor without an access code.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Door remains closed. LED is off.|  | Sensor power is off.|  | Check wiring and power supply.
---|---|---|---|---
Door does not react as expected.| Improper output configuration on sensor.| Check the output configuration setting on each sensor connected to the door operator.
Door opens and closes constantly.| The sensor is disturbed by door motion or vibrations caused by door motion.| Ensure sensor is secured properly.
Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.
Increase tilt angle.
Increase detection filter value.
Reduce field size.
Door opens for no apparent reason.| It rains and the sensor detects raindrops or vibrations.| Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.
Increase detection filter value.
In highly reflective environments, the sensor detects objects outside of its detection field.| Change the antenna angle.
Reduce field size.
Increase detection filter value.
Vehicle detection filter is used, but pedestrians are still detected.| Chosen value is not optimal for the given application.| Increase detection filter value.
Decrease sensor angle.
Increase mounting height.
Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.
LED flashes quickly after unlocking.| Sensor needs access code to unlock.| Enter correct access code.
If you forgot the code, cycle the power to access the sensor without access code.

Change or delete the access code.

Sensor does not respond to the remote control.| Batteries in the remote control are weak or installed improperly.| Check batteries and change if necessary.

BEA, INC. INSTALLATION/SERVICE COMPLIANCE EXPECTATIONS

BEA, Inc., the sensor manufacturer, cannot be held responsible for incorrect installations or incorrect adjustments of the sensor/device; therefore, BEA, Inc. does not guarantee any use of the sensor/device outside of its intended purpose.
BEA, Inc. strongly recommends that installation and service technicians be AAADM-certifi ed for pedestrian doors, IDA-certifi ed for doors/ gates, and factory-trained for the type of door/gate system.
Installers and service personnel are responsible for executing a risk assessment following each installation/service performed, ensuring that the sensor/device system performance is compliant with local, national, and international regulations, codes, and standards. Once installation or service work is complete, a safety inspection of the door/gate shall be performed per the door/gate manufacturer’s recommendations and/or per AAADM/ANSI/DASMA guidelines (where applicable) for best industry practices. Safety inspections must be performed during each service call – examples of these safety inspections can be found on an AAADM safety information label (e.g. ANSI/DASMA 102, ANSI/DASMA 107, UL294, UL325, and International Building Code).
Verify that all appropriate industry signage, warning labels, and placards are in place.
