PRECAUTIONS
| ‰ Shut off all power going to 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 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:
1. May jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of
electrical shock.
2. May adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product
resulting in a voided warranty.

FCC APPROVAL
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
this device may not cause harmful interference, and
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radion/TV technician for help
WARNING: CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY BEA INC. MAY VOID THE FCC AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
PREINSTALLATION CHECK
When wiring multiple devices
together to create a system configuration, it is best to ensure that each
device works independently. This will reduce troubleshooting if a discrepancy
occurs.
Prior to installing any
equipment in either new or existing circuits, verify correct line voltage and
line stability. Always remember to shut off the power before performing
circuit wiring.
INSTALLATION
The Touchless Actuator may be mounted in conventional metal or plastic
electrical gang boxes.
Ensure that the unit sensor does not come in contact with the metal gang box
to avoid shorting out the unit.
Do not place the sensor in the door’s opening range, where the sensor may see
door movement.
Do not place moving objects in front of the sensor.
Depending on the door installation, the weather-resistant foam gasket or plastic adapter ring may be used. The weather resistant gasket is used as a protective barrier against the elements. The plastic adapter ring is designed to enable the double-gang face plate to attach to various plastic and metal gang boxes.
WIRING
- Wire the 4-conductor cable to the door operator according to manufacturer specifications (see appendix for wiring diagrams).
- Attach the 4-conductor cable connectorto the Touchless Actuator (see right).
SET-UP
Two adjustments can be made to the sensor. The potentiometer is used to adjust the size of the unit’s sensing field (see below, left) and the Output Mode switch is used to select Toggle or Pulse mode (see below, right).
Rotate
potentiometer clockwise to increase the sensing field. It may be adjusted from
4” to 24”.
Adjust Output Mode by moving switch in the up position (Toggle Mode) or in the
down positon (Pulse Mode).
Toggle Mode: Recommended for switch applications. In Toggle mode, a
detection activates the relay and a second detection deactivates the relay.
Pulse Mode: Recommended for automatic door applications. In Pulse mode, a
detection activates the relay for a short period of time, depending on the
duration of movement in front of door.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Door does not open when swiping hand in front of sensor| Bad or no power|
Check power supply. If LED switches on or flashes, power connections are
okay.
---|---|---
Detection range too short| Adjust detection zone. Remove any metal plates in
front of sensor.
Incorrect wiring/connection| Check wiring and relay connection.
Sensor stays in detection| Environmental conditions influencing sensor| Remove
moving objects from around sensor.
Incorrect wiring/connection| Check wiring and relay connection.
Door remains open after deteciton/ activation| Wrong output mode| Switch
output mode to Pulse.
Incorrect wiring/connection| Check wiring and relay connection.
BEA INSTALLATION/SERVICE COMPLIANCE EXPECTATIONS
BEA, the sensor manufacturer, cannot be held responsible for incorrect
installations or inappropriate adjustments of the sensor/device; therefore,
BEA does not guarantee any use of the sensor outside of its intended purpose.
BEA strongly recommends that installation and service technicians be AAADM-
certifi ed for pedestrian doors, IDA-certifi ed for doors/gates, and
factorytrained 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 system installation 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 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).
Verify that all appropriate industry signage and warning labels are in place.
