WIRING

BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-12

  1. Voltage: 12 – 24 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 12 – 30 VDC; < 3.2 W (max) DO NOT EXCEED 26.4 VAC If a power supply is needed, BEA recommends using only the 12V transformer (1012VAC).
  2. Use either yellow or green, not both.
  3. Test monitoring input: low = < 1 V, high = > 10 V (30 V max.); response time: typ. < 5 ms
  4. The sensor LED will briefly flash RED and the LCD will display a monitoring notification during monitoring communication with the door control. This indicates that external monitoring is functional. Sensor monitoring functionality is automatic by default. Ensure purple wires are properly connected to the door controller and monitoring is enabled. Sensor monitoring logic is defaulted to ActiveLow. ActiveHigh monitoring logic is selectable via InTestLogic on menu 3. To turn sensor monitoring OFF, navigate to menu 3 on the LCD and set InTestMode to OFF.
    • Before proceeding to radar and IR setup and adjustments, please see pages 19 − 20 for “How to Use the LCD” and “How to Use the Remote Control,” if necessary.

RADAR FIELD

The size of the detection field varies according to the mounting height and parameter settings of the sensor. Graphics are representations, not default settings.

ANGLE
Tilt the antenna up to adjust the depth outward and down to adjust inward from the doorway.

SHAPE
Navigate to menu 2 of the LCD to choose the desired width shape – wide lobe or narrow lobe.BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-
fig-15

DIRECTION

  • BI

    • bi-directional detection of motion towards and away from the door (the door opens whenever any motion in the radar field is detected)
  • UNI

    • uni-directional detection of motion towards the door, the door opens only when motion towards the door is detected in the radar field, which results in energy-saving
  • MTF

    • motion tracking feature Recommended for: Hospitals or nursing homes where pedestrian traffic tends to move slowly or hesitantly to prevent the door from opening and closing repeatedly.

IMMUNITY
Immunity regulates the ability of external factors (e.g. rain or light) to interfere with the detection performance of the sensor. When set to “high,” this feature protects the sensor against external disturbances.

REENTRY
This feature re-directs the motion detection through the safety relay. It is useful for one-way traffic applications (top image) as well as knowing-act activation (bottom image). To enable this feature, select your desired re- entry size via the LCD menu options (see page 13).BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-
Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-16

IMPORTANT: The safety circuit of the door must be ignored at the door- closed position.

ACTIVE INFRARED SAFETY FIELD

NUMBER OF CURTAINS / POSITION OF CURTAINS (IR:CURTAINS, MENU 1)

  • Choose the number of and position of the AIR curtains based on your application. If necessary, use visible spots and red adjustment knob to position properly (see page 9).BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-17

NOTES
The sensor is defaulted to a Non-Threshold setting (6). If the threshold is desired, you may choose to set 1, 2, 4, or 5. Be sure that the curtain placement matches the LCD screen. BEA recommends using threshold settings on only one side of the door.

UNDERSTANDING THE LCD “CURTAINS” GRAPHICS

BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-18

ANGLE

  1. Activate the four visible spots (press gray knob twice) to verify the position of the AIR curtains. Visibility depends on external conditions. When spots are not visible, use the Spotfinder to locate the curtains.BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-20

  2. If necessary, adjust the AIR curtain angles using the red adjustment knob (see below) and then select the corresponding IR: Curtains setting on menu 1 of the LCD (see right).
    NOTE: Be sure that setting shown on the LCD matches the AIR curtain position.BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-
fig-21

  3. When in Threshold mode, verify the correct positioning of the threshold curtain: First, turn on the red spots, and then verify that either C1 is at least in line with the moving door panel (see image below, left) or preferred through the door opening (see image below, right). Next, ensure that C2 is within 3 inches of face of the door for the width of the door opening.BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-23

WIDTH

  1. If desired, adjust the field width using the LCD menu or remote control buttons (see page 13, IR: Width menu).BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-24
  2. The size of the detection field varies according to the mounting height and the settings of the sensor. The widths specified above correlate to the standard mounting height (7’2″).BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-25
  3. Settings 4 and 5 are only optional in single-slider applications.
  4. Always verify the actual AIR detection field by walk-testing according to ANSI 156.10. Do not use a SPOTFINDER to verify the AIR detection field.
    • Additional adjustments are possible by LCD or remote control (see OVERVIEW OF SETTINGS).

IMMUNITY
Immunity regulates the ability of external factors (e.g. rain or light) to interfere with the detection performance of the sensor. When set to “high,” this feature protects the sensor against external disturbances.

ULTI-SYNC: AUTOMATIC SAFETY FIELD SYNCHRONIZATION

BEA-ULTIMO-Microwave-Motion-and-Presence-Sensor-fig-28

ULTI-SYNC is used to eliminate AIR crosstalk when safety fields are overlapping in the threshold of the door or when safety fields are overlapping side-to-side. If installed with another sliding door sensor (BEA or otherwise), see the ULTI-SYNC CROSSTALK Application Note (78.6038) The LED will flash white, confirming the synchronization is detected. If an overlapping safety field is found in the threshold of the door, ULTIMO will remain synchronized for 2 minutes while the door is closed. If activation does not occur for 2 minutes, the white LED will flash, confirming synchronization is lost. The fields will be synchronized again upon the next activation and will be confirmed by a flash of the white LED. To check the synchronization status, navigate to menu 3, IR:Synch.

  • When sensors are installed close to each other, choose different emitting frequencies.

SETUP

Ensure that the infrared field is clear of any obstructions.

The sensor can be set up using either the push button or the remote control:

  • PUSH BUTTON: Press and hold the gray knob for 2 seconds.
  • REMOTE CONTROL: Use the following remote control button sequence:

During setup, the LCD will display the camera icon and the LED will slowly flash red/green and then turn off. Test the proper operation of the system installation before leaving the premises!

SETTINGS

Use the following tables to aid in understanding settings set by either the LCD menu or remote control.
