• Sensor is intended to be monitored for proper operation by the door operator or system.
• Harness shall be routed separated from any Mains or non-Class 2 voltage cable for correct operation or
shall be rated for the Mains voltage, and suitable protection and routing means shall be used according to
National and Local Codes to prevent damage to the harness and/or sensor.
* Extreme left or right mounting is an option for single-sliders when
using IR:Width settings 4 or 5 (see page 12). Be sure that the edge

Widths specified above correlate to
standard mounting height (7'2").
Settings 4 and 5 are only optional in single-slider applications.
2. Always verify the actual AIR detection field by walk-testing according to ANSI 156.10.

ACTIVE INFRARED SAFETY FIELD
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.
ULTIMO will automatically synchronize its safety field when an overlapping safety field is
detected.
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.

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-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/
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).
Verify that all appropriate industry signage, warning labels, and placards are in place.
