BEA MS41 Magic Switch Surface-Mount Boxes

Product Information

  • Product Series: MS31, MS41, and MS51
  • Available Variants: Single Gang, Double Gang, 6 Round, Jamb

Precautions

  • Shut off all power going to the header before attempting any wiring procedures.
  • Maintain a clean and safe environment when working in public areas.
  • Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
  • Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing tests that may result in unexpected reactions by the door.
  • ESD (electrostatic discharge): Circuit boards are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any board, ensure you dissipate your body’s ESD charge.
  • Always check the placement of all wiring before powering up to ensure that moving door parts will not catch any wires and cause damage to equipment.
  • Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10) upon completion of installation.
  • DO NOT attempt any internal repair of the components. All repairs and/or component replacements must be performed by BEA, Inc. Unauthorized disassembly or repair:
    • May jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of electrical shock.
    • This may adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product resulting in a voided warranty.
  • Do not use harsh cleaning agents to clean polycarbonate materials. Harsh cleaning agents (e.g. ammonia) can cause damage to these materials. BEA recommends using clean, lukewarm water and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean sensor windows and other polycarbonate surfaces on our products.

Mounting the Box
Mount the box using the pilot hole locations. Do not drill outside of the pilot hole locations. If a wire conduit is required, you may also use any of the pilot hole locations. Note: To achieve an IP65 rating, you must apply silicone to any drilled holes.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Ensure that all power going to the header is shut off before starting any wiring procedures.
  2. Maintain a clean and safe working environment, especially in public areas.
  3. Be cautious of pedestrian traffic around the door area and stop pedestrian traffic when performing tests that may cause unexpected reactions by the door.
  4. Before handling any circuit board, dissipate your body’s electrostatic charge to prevent damage to the board.
  5. Check the placement of all wiring before powering up to avoid any damage to equipment caused by moving door parts catching wires.
  6. Ensure compliance with safety standards (e.g., ANSI A156.10) after completing the installation.
  7. Do not attempt any internal repair of the components. All repairs and component replacements must be performed by BEA, Inc. Unauthorized disassembly or repair may jeopardize personal safety, expose one to the risk of electrical shock, and void the warranty.
  8. Use clean, lukewarm water and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean sensor windows and other polycarbonate surfaces on the product. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents like ammonia, as they can cause damage.
  9. To mount the box, use the provided pilot hole locations. Do not drill outside of these locations. If a wire conduit is required, you can use any of the pilot hole locations. Apply silicone to any drilled holes to achieve an IP65 rating.
