Product Usage Instructions
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 may jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of electrical shock, and may adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product resulting in a voided warranty.
Installation Tips
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use harsh cleaning agents to clean polycarbonate materials. BEA recommends using clean, lukewarm water and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean sensor windows and other polycarbonate surfaces on our products.
Wiring
You can retrofit hardwired push plates using the 900 MHZ Touchless Retrofit Transmitter (10TD900TR) and Receiver (10RD900).

WIRING
Wire the MS41 to the door control according to the diagram shown here.
NOTE: Use either N.O. or N.C. – not both. Refer to the door control manual to determine which must be used.
RETROFIT APPLICATION
You can retrofit hardwired push plates using the 900 MHZ Touchless Retrofit
Transmitter (10TD900TR) and Receiver (10RD900):
- Locate existing 2 wires previously used for the hardwired, mechanical push plate and connect to the MS41 terminals marked 12 – 24 VAC/VDC.
- Wire to the transmitter’s power wires (red and black) with the two MS41 power wires.
- Wire the transmitter’s white wire to COM, and green wire to N.O.
- At the door control, move the 2 wires from the push plate activation circuit to power (refer to Technical Specifications for power information).
- Wire the receiver output to the door control activation circuit and its power wires shown in step 3 above.
SET-UP
Six adjustments can be made to the sensor:
-
LED color+logic: DIP bank 1 determines LED color (see table)
DIP1| DIP2| DIP3| DETECTION| NO DETECTION
---|---|---|---|---
| | | blue| off
| | | off| blue
| | | blue| blue
| | | green| off
| | | off| green
| | | green| green
| | | blue| green
| | | green| blue -
Output Mode switch: determines Toggle mode or Timer mode
= Toggle (detection activates the relay and the relay holds until a second detection deactivates the relay (recommended for switch applications)
= Timer (detection activates the relay for 0.5 to 30 seconds; relay will hold as long as detection occurs) -
LED activity (when illuminated):
= animated (movement around track)
= standard (on, static) -
Buzzer sound (when in detection):
= on
= off -
Hold time potentiometer: adjust relay hold time from 0.5 to 30 seconds (rotate clockwise to increase)
-
Sensitivity potentiometer: adjust detection field from 4 to 24 inches (rotate clockwise to increase)
INSTALLATION
-
Install an electrical box.
If using a metal eletrical box, ensure that the sensor and related wiring does not come in contact with the box to avoid shorting the unit. -
Clip the MS41 cube to the face plate.
If IP65 rating is desired, apply silicone between the MS41 cube and face plate prior to installing the MS41 onto electrical box. -
Secure the face plate to the electrical box with the provided screws.
REMOVING THE FACE PLATE
After installation, In the event that you need to separate the cube from the
face plate, you simply insert a screwdriver into the top or bottom set of snap
fittings and twist.
Only two snap fittings must be loosened.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Door does not open when swiping hand in front of sensor| | Bad or no power|
| Check power supply, ensure SELV- equivalent power. 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.
Wrong output mode| Switch output mode to Timer.
Door remains open after detection/activation| Wrong output mode| Switch output
mode to Timer.
Incorrect wiring/connection| Check wiring and relay connection.

WARNING: CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY BEA INC. MAY VOID THE FCC AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE THIS EQUIPMENT.
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).
