1 Description
1.1 Function
The detector is designed for installation above an automatic
pedestrian door and for connection to the door controller.
The detector registers the movement of people in front of the
door with a radar eld in order to open the door. The detector
registers people in the door’s area of movement with an AIR
(active infrared) eld to stop door movement.
1.2 Scope of delivery
The package contains:
• Detector with cover
• 3-meter connection cable with plug connector
• Lens covers for AIR area limitation
• Installation material

3 Installation
3.1 Installation positions
Note the following requirements:
• Surface must be stable, vibration-proof and grounded.
• Avoid proximity to uorescent lights, fans, currents of
warm air and ventilation systems.
• Protect the detector against extreme weather conditions
such as driving rain.
3.2 Mounting
1. Remove the cover from the detector.
2. If necessary, prepare the following mechanical settings
according to section →3.5: Align radar eld (rotate radar
module), limit AIR eld (cover lenses), pre-adjust AIR
inclination angle.
3. Stick the drilling template on the mounting location, drill a
cable hole.
4. Lay the connection cable. Ensure that the cable is
routed so that it is free of electromagnetic interference.
For example, avoid routing the cable parallel to the
connecting cable of the door drive.
5. Screw the support plate of the detector to the mounting
points.
Mounting on the door prole
3.3 Electrical connection

Safety-relevant function (AIR/active infrared)
The detector monitors the door’s area of movement with
an AIR eld of 24 light cones. Four lenses bundle the eld
into segments A to D. The size of the eld depends on the
mounting height of the detector (drawing with example values
for H = 220 cm).

The inclination angle of the AIR eld is continuously
adjustable from -5 to +7°.
▶ Adjust the inclination angle so that the AIR eld on the
oor is 5 to 8 cm from the door.
▶Test the setting with a standard-compliant test specimen.
The AIR eld must detect the test specimen in the area of
movement of the door. The AIR eld must not cover the
door.

3.6 Initialisation
1. Remove all objects from the door area that do not form
part of the usual door system environment. Make sure
that there are no people in the door area.
2. Restart the detector. Quickly leave the security area of the
door. The detector now detects the normal environment
in the safety area.
3. Wait until the LEDs stop ashing (approx. 30 s.).
4. Note: Continued ashing signals indicate an error. Check
the connections and the free door area, restart the
initialisation.
5. Test the door system and, if necessary, modify the
mechanical settings according to section →3.5 and the
software conguration according to section →3.4.
ODie Sicherheitsfunktion des Sensors muss hinreichend
empndlich zur Personenerkennung eingestellt sein.
Observe the behavior of the door and the display of the
signal monitor in the menu under Info →AIR signal.
6. Place the cover on the detector. Use the guide groove
between the two AIR lenses for this purpose.
