Commercial Automatic Door Controller | 13 Programmable Logic Functions | Dual 3-Amp Relays + 1-Amp Relay | Door Sequencing, Electric Lock Control & Restroom Applications

The BEA 10BR3-X Programmable 3-Relay Logic Module is an advanced commercial door control module designed to provide flexible timing, sequencing, interlocking, and access control functions for automatic pedestrian doors, electronic locking devices, and secured restroom applications.

Featuring 13 programmable logic functions, the BEA BR3-X combines advanced control capabilities with a compact design, making it an excellent solution for commercial automatic door installations, security access systems, and industrial automation projects.

The module incorporates three integrated relays – two 3-amp relays and one 1-amp relay – allowing installers to coordinate compatible electric strikes, electromagnetic locks, automatic door operators, activation devices, and associated control equipment.

Its programmable logic supports both simple time-delay applications and advanced door sequencing, including normally locked and normally unlocked restroom control, interlocking, relay inhibition, and Day/Night operation.

The BEA 10BR3-X also features a configurable WET output on Relay 1, allowing compatible low-voltage electric locking devices to receive power through the module when properly configured and supplied.

With two-button programming, a dual seven-segment LED display, adjustable relay hold times, and flexible input configurations, the BR3-X provides convenient setup and control without requiring separate timers and relay boards for many applications.

Designed for commercial door contractors, automatic door technicians, security integrators, and facility maintenance personnel, the BEA 10BR3-X offers a versatile control solution for new construction, retrofit installations, and replacement applications.

How the BEA 10BR3-X Works

The BR3-X receives signals from connected activation devices, access control systems, or door position switches and activates its programmable relays according to the selected operating mode.

Application 1 – Electric Lock Release & Automatic Door Activation

Step 1 – Activation Request

A pedestrian activates a compatible automatic door push plate, touchless sensor, or access control device.

Step 2 – Signal Processing

The BR3-X receives the activation signal and processes the programmed logic.

Step 3 – Electric Lock Release

The designated relay switches the connected electric locking circuit.

Step 4 – Door Operator Activation

Following the configured delay, another relay activates the automatic door operator.

Step 5 – System Reset

The relays return to their configured states based on the selected timing, door position feedback, and control logic.

This configuration helps coordinate electric locking hardware and automatic door operation.

Application 2 – Single-Occupancy Restroom Control

The BR3-X includes dedicated logic modes for normally locked and normally unlocked single-occupancy restroom applications.

Depending on the installed configuration, the module can coordinate:

• Interior Push to Lock button.

• Exterior occupied indicator.

• Compatible electronic locking device.

• Door position switch.

• Automatic door operator, if installed.

• Restroom release and reset functions.

The BEA BR3-X is a central component in the BEA 10RESTROOMKIT and can be configured for restroom access control and occupant privacy.

Application 3 – Two-Door Interlocking

The BR3-X supports designated interlocking functions for appropriately configured door systems.

Interlocking applications can be used to coordinate two controlled openings and restrict certain simultaneous operating conditions.

This can be useful for selected industrial, institutional, and controlled-access applications.

Specific behavior depends on the programmed interlock function and the connected locking and sensing equipment.

Application 4 – Timed Access Control

The module can provide adjustable control timing for compatible electrical devices.

Typical applications include:

• Electric strike release timing.

• Magnetic lock release coordination.

• Automatic door activation delay.

• Door position-dependent control.

• Relay latching and reset.

• Day/Night control through compatible external signals.
