RAVEN™
Overhead Microwave Motion Sensor
Instruction Manual
The RAVEN is a motion sensor that utilizes microwave technology to activate automatic doors and
industrial gates. The sensor features two relay outputs that distinguish between vehicle and
pedestrian traffic. The RAVEN’s detection mode can be configured to approach-only, depart-only
or bidirectional movement. The programmable parameters allow for the fine tuning of the sensitivity,
responsiveness and relay hold time. All user settings can be adjusted directly on the sensor or by using
the optional remote control.
Cautions and Warnings
Install the RAVEN according to instructions from the door operator manufacturer.
Comply with all applicable codes and safety regulations.
When drilling, ensure no damage can be caused in desired mounting location.
(Ex: hidden wires, waterlines, etc.)

Programming the RAVEN
1. Program the RAVEN using the FUNCTION and SETTING control buttons on the front of the
sensor.
2. To enter programing mode, press and hold the FUNCTION button for ~ 2 seconds.
For example, two RED LED slow flashes indicate the vehicle detection function followed by
three GREEN LED slow flashes indicating a setting of high.
Programming Mode LED Indicators
Red LED
# of flashes indicates selected function
Green LED
# of flashes indicates current setting for selected
function
3. Use the FUNCTION control button to cycle through the nine functions. Next, press the
SETTING control button to set the desired value for the selected function. The function and
setting will be confirmed by the number of red and green flashes.
The setting is automatically stored every time the SETTING button is pressed.
Press and hold the FUNCTION button for ~2 seconds to exit programming mode.
Programming Example: Changing the Responsiveness Setting from Fast to Slow
1. Press and hold the FUNCTION button for ~2 seconds to enter programming mode.
2. Press the FUNCTION button seven times to switch to the responsiveness function.
The RED LED should now be flashing eight times with the number of GREEN LED flashes
indicating the current setting for the responsiveness.
For example, one green flash indicates a responsiveness setting of fast.
3. To change the responsiveness from fast to slow, press the SETTING button two times.
4. Eight RED LED flashes followed by three GREEN LED flashes will now indicate that the
responsiveness is set to slow.
5. Press and hold the FUNCTION button for ~2 seconds to exit programming mode and to
save sensor settings.
Programmable Parameters
Programmable parameters are adjusted using the control buttons or the optional remote control.
NOTE: The RAVEN will distinguish between vehicles and people. This distinction is dependent on the
programmable parameters: “Vehicle Detection”, “Human Detection” and “Responsiveness”.
All DEFAULT factory settings are noted in TABLE 1 on the following page.
After changing the settings, confirm proper operation.

1. Press the Unlock Key on the remote control to enter programming mode.
2. The RED LED on the RAVEN will flash slowly (twice per second) when in programming mode.
When the remote control has security enabled, the RAVEN’s RED LED will flash fast (five times
per second). This means the sensor is expecting a four-digit security code and once it’s entered,
the sensor’s RED LED will flash slowly (twice per second).
3. Pressing a function key on the remote will cause the RED LED to flash fast (five times per
second) indicating that a setting value is expected to be entered.
4. After entering a setting value, the GREEN LED will flash the same number of times as the
value entered. The +/- keys can also be used to change the settings as indicated in TABLE 2.
5. Pressing the function key followed by the Question Key ? will display the current setting.
6. To exit programming mode, press the Lock Key twice.
Setting a four digit security code for the RAVEN remote control the first time:
1. Press the Unlock Key followed by the Lock Key on the remote control. The RED LED on
the sensor will flash fast (five times per second).
2. Enter the new four-digit security code and note it. The RAVEN will return to its normal operating
state, this is indicated by the GREEN LED on the sensor.
3. Press the Unlock Key on the remote control. The RED LED will flash quickly (five times
per second) on the sensor. Key in the security code to enter programming mode, a successful
key entry is indicated by a slow flashing LED (twice per second). If the incorrect security code
is entered, the RAVEN will exit programming mode and return to a normal operating state
as indicated by the GREEN LED.
No security code is required to unlock the RAVEN for 30 minutes after a power reset.
Changing the four digit security code for the RAVEN remote control:
1. Press the Lock Key while the sensor is in programming mode. The RED LED on the RAVEN
will flash fast (five times per second), this indicates the sensor is waiting for a new four-digit
security code.
2. Enter a new four-digit security code within 60 seconds.
Locking the RAVEN’s remote control programming:
1. While in programming mode, press the Lock Key . The RED LED on the RAVEN will flash fast
(five times per second). Then press the “9” key to lock the sensor. The remote control can only
be used within 60 seconds after power on.
2. While in programming mode, press the Lock Key while the sensor is in programming mode,
followed by “0” to clear the security code or lock.

Vehicle & Human Detection –Explanation & Examples
The RAVEN can distinguish between human and vehicle traffic in its zone of detection. This distinction
is dependent on the programmable parameters: “Vehicle Detection”, “Human Detection” and
“Responsiveness”. These parameters should be adjusted as explained in TABLE 1 to ensure detection
accuracy.
The RAVEN has two relay outputs:
Vehicle Detection Relay - can detect a vehicle only or a vehicle/person
Human Detection Relay - can detect a vehicle or a person
EXAMPLE 2: Door operator controlling one industrial door and one pedestrian door.
Wire the vehicle detection and human detection relay to the door operator, configure as
shown below.

Possible Cause
Solution
No LEDs on
No power or faulty power
connection
1. Verify the voltage is between 12-36 VDC or
12-28 VAC using a digital multimeter.
2. If voltage is present and there are still no
LEDs on, the sensor is defective.
