cross-reference:

Position the sensor on the bracket

and fasten the screws ﬁrmly.

Remove the bracket from the

sensor. Drill 2 holes accordingly.

Mount the bracket ﬁrmly.

Connect the wires to the door controller.

Choose between NO and NC contact.

Adjust the angle of the sensor to position the detection ﬁeld. Adjust the ﬁeld size with the remote

control or the push buttons.

bi = two-way detection

uni = one-way detection towards sensor

uni AWAY = one-way detection away from sensor

A = active output; relay energizes upon detection

P = passive output; relay de-energizes upon detection

Choose the correct detection ﬁlter for your application with the remote control or push buttons.

Detection of all targets

(pedestrians and parallel trafﬁc are detected)

Detection only of vehicles moving toward the sensor*

(pedestrians and parallel trafﬁc are not detected + disturbances are ﬁltered)

1 = no speciﬁc ﬁlter

2 = ﬁlter against disturbances

(recommended in case of vibrations, rain etc.)

Value recommendations according to angle and height:

Always check if the chosen value is

optimal for the application.

The object size and nature can

inﬂuence the detection.

The access code (1 to 4 digits) is recommended to set sensors installed close to each other.

SAVING AN ACCESS CODE:

DELETING AN ACCESS CODE:

Once you have saved an access code, you always need to enter this code to unlock the sensor.

If you forget the access code, cycle the power. For the ﬁrst minute, you can access the sensor without an access code.

POSSIBLE SETTINGS BY PUSH BUTTONS

ACCESS CODE

Door remains closed. LED is off. Sensor power is off. Check wiring and power supply.

Door does not react as expected. Improper output conﬁguration on

sensor. Check the output conﬁguration setting on

each sensor connected to the door operator.

Door opens and closes

constantly. The sensor is disturbed by door

motion or vibrations caused by door

motion.

Ensure sensor is secured properly.

Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.

Increase tilt angle.

Increase detection ﬁlter value.

Reduce ﬁeld size.

Door opens for no apparent

reason. It rains and the sensor detects

raindrops or vibrations. Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.

Increase detection ﬁlter value.

In highly reﬂective environments, the

sensor detects objects outside of its

detection ﬁeld.

Change the antenna angle.

Reduce ﬁeld size.

Increase detection ﬁlter value.

Vehicle detection ﬁlter is used,

but pedestrians are still detected. Chosen value is not optimal for the

given application. Increase detection ﬁlter value.

Decrease sensor angle.

Increase mounting height.

Ensure detection mode is unidirectional.

LED ﬂashes quickly after

unlocking. Sensor needs access code to unlock. Enter correct access code.

If you forgot the code, cycle the power to

access the sensor without access code.

Change or delete the access code.

Sensor does not respond to the

remote control. Batteries in the remote control are

weak or installed improperly. Check batteries and change if necessary.

BEA, Inc., the sensor manufacturer, cannot be held responsible for incorrect installations or inappropriate adjustments of the sensor/device; therefore,

BEA, Inc. does not guarantee any use of the sensor outside of its intended purpose.

BEA, Inc. strongly recommends that installation and service technicians be AAADM-certiﬁed for pedestrian doors, IDA-certiﬁed 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
