Compact Commercial PIR Exit Detection Sensor with Adjustable Sensing Field, Two Mounting Adapters & Selectable Relay Timing

The BEA 10FLYKITB FLY Kit is a compact, commercial-grade passive infrared (PIR) request-to-exit sensor designed for electronic access control systems, electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and other compatible commercial door security applications.

Featuring microprocessor-controlled passive infrared technology, the FLY sensor detects movement within an adjustable sensing field and provides a relay output to a compatible door access control system.

The 10FLYKITB includes a black PIR sensor, a black surface-mount adapter, and a black flush ceiling-mount adapter, providing installation flexibility for different commercial door and ceiling configurations.

Its compact, low-profile design allows the sensor to be installed above a doorway or in a suitable overhead location without the bulky appearance of conventional request-to-exit equipment.

The FLY sensor features 15 Fresnel lenses, independently adjustable detection masking, DIP-switch configuration, and a 0°–180° mounting angle to help installers tailor the sensing area to the opening.

Designed for 12–24V AC/DC operation, the BEA 10FLYKITB includes a selectable 0.5- or 2-second relay hold time and a potential-free NO/NC relay output for integration with compatible access control equipment.

Whether installing a new magnetic lock system or replacing an existing overhead exit detector, the BEA 10FLYKITB provides a versatile and economical solution for commercial request-to-exit applications.

Important: This is the standard FLY Kit with 0.5- or 2-second relay timing. For extended 15- or 30-second timing, select BEA 10FLYKITBERT.

Passive Infrared Request-to-Exit Detection

The BEA 10FLYKITB uses passive infrared technology to detect movement within its configured detection field.

When a person moves through the monitored area, the sensor changes the state of its relay output.

A compatible access control controller can use this signal to initiate an authorized request-to-exit sequence.

Typical Request-to-Exit Functions

• Detect movement approaching a controlled exit

• Signal a compatible access control panel

• Initiate an electronic lock release command

• Support door security and monitoring logic

• Coordinate exit requests with compatible access control equipment

The FLY sensor can be incorporated into systems using compatible electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and electronic door controllers.

Important: The FLY sensor supplies a detection signal. It is not itself an electromagnetic lock, electric strike, complete door release controller, or guaranteed code-compliant emergency-egress solution.

Adjustable Detection Field with Fresnel Lenses

The BEA FLY features a four-element passive infrared sensing system and 15 Fresnel lenses.

Its adjustable masking arrangement helps technicians define the desired detection area.

This is especially useful for controlled exits where the sensor should respond to occupants approaching the door without detecting excessive movement from nearby corridors or adjacent spaces.

Detection Field Benefits

• Adjustable sensing coverage

• Independent detection masking

• More precise request-to-exit activation

• Reduced unwanted activation from surrounding traffic

• Flexibility for different door and corridor layouts

• Configurable performance for commercial access control

BEA identifies two sensing-field adjustment masks for the FLY Kit family.

Actual detection depends on sensor position, mounting angle, masking, movement, and environmental conditions.

Surface-Mount & Flush Ceiling-Mount Adapters Included

A major advantage of the 10FLYKITB is its versatile mounting package.

The kit includes two mounting adapters, allowing installers to choose a suitable installation style without ordering separate mounting housings.

Black Surface-Mount Adapter – 10FSABLK

The surface adapter supports installation on an appropriate ceiling, wall, or overhead mounting surface.

Benefits

• Convenient surface installation

• Suitable for selected retrofit projects

• Reduces the need for a recessed mounting cavity

• Black finish to coordinate with the sensor

• Supports properly positioned overhead exit detection

Black Flush Ceiling Adapter – 10FCABLK

The flush ceiling adapter allows a more recessed installation where the ceiling construction permits it.

Benefits

• Low-profile appearance

• Suitable for commercial ceiling applications

• Helps conceal part of the sensor mounting assembly

• Provides an alternative to exposed surface mounting

Mounting Note: Verify the available installation space, ceiling construction, and required sensor field before selecting the mounting method.

Adjustable 0°–180° Mounting Angle

The BEA 10FLYKITB supports a sensor mounting angle ranging from 0° to 180°.

This allows the installer to orient the detection field toward the intended exit approach.

Mounting Benefits

• Adjustable detection direction

• Suitable for a variety of overhead mounting arrangements

• Supports corridor and doorway detection

• Allows field alignment after installation

• Helps avoid unwanted detection from nearby areas

For typical applications, BEA recommends mounting heights of 6½–8 feet, with a maximum specified mounting height of 10 feet.

Selectable Relay Hold Time – 0.5 or 2 Seconds

The standard FLY sensor provides two selectable relay hold-time settings:

• 0.5 seconds

• 2 seconds

The selected relay timing determines how long the sensor maintains its output after qualifying detection.

This allows the installer to coordinate the exit detection signal with the connected access control system.

Important: Relay hold time is not necessarily the same as the actual door unlock duration. The total release sequence depends on the access control controller and electronic locking hardware.

Standard FLY vs. Extended Relay Time

10FLYKITB – Standard FLY Kit

• 0.5- or 2-second selectable relay hold

• Includes surface and flush ceiling adapters

• Black finish

• Designed for compatible request-to-exit applications

10FLYKITBERT – Extended Relay Time FLY Kit

• 15- or 30-second selectable relay hold

• Includes surface and flush ceiling adapters

• Black finish

• Intended for applications requiring longer sensor relay timing

The two models should be listed separately because their timing capabilities differ.

Integration with Electromagnetic Locks

The BEA 10FLYKITB can be connected to compatible access control equipment used with electromagnetic door locks.

When properly configured, the FLY sensor provides a request-to-exit signal to the controller or approved release circuit.

Typical System Components

• BEA FLY request-to-exit sensor

• Compatible magnetic lock

• Access control controller or relay interface

• Regulated power supply

• Required manual release control

• Additional required life-safety interfaces

Important: A motion-based request-to-exit sensor does not automatically satisfy every code requirement for electrically locked egress doors. The complete system must include all required emergency and manual release arrangements.

Integration with Electric Strikes & Access Control

The BEA 10FLYKITB can also provide a request-to-exit input to compatible electronic access control systems using electric strikes and other electrically controlled door hardware.

Potential Applications

• Commercial office doors

• Controlled interior entrances

• Employee access doors

• Restricted administrative areas

• Commercial security systems

• Access control retrofit installations

The actual door release or security function must be determined by the approved controller and installed locking hardware.

12–24V AC/DC Electrical Operation

The BEA FLY sensor supports both low-voltage AC and DC operation.
