Low-Profile Commercial Automatic Door Safety Sensor for Revolving Doors, Sliding Door Sidelites, Drive-Thru Windows & Gate Applications

The BEA 10FOCUS2 FOCUS 2 Active Infrared Presence Sensor is a commercial-grade, recessed-mount detection device designed to identify people and objects within a focused sensing area.

Using active infrared distance-measuring technology, the FOCUS 2 provides continuous presence detection within its configured field, making it useful for automatic doors and other equipment requiring additional protection in confined or specialized detection areas.

The 10FOCUS2 features a low-profile recessed mounting design, allowing the sensor to integrate into compatible door headers, architectural surfaces, and other properly prepared mounting locations.

Unlike conventional microwave motion activation sensors, the FOCUS 2 is designed for presence detection, allowing it to maintain a detection signal while a qualifying object remains within the sensing zone.

Its adjustable distance setting ranges from 2 to 8 feet, with a maximum detection range of approximately 8 feet 2 inches, enabling installers to configure the detection field for the application.

The sensor operates on 24VAC or 24VDC, incorporates a potential-free relay output with normally open or normally closed connections, and provides a detection response in less than 50 milliseconds.

Whether protecting revolving-door pinch points, monitoring automatic sliding-door sidelites, detecting occupants at drive-thru service windows, or providing additional sensing for compatible gates and barriers, the BEA 10FOCUS2 delivers focused presence detection in a compact recessed-mount package.

Important: The 10FOCUS2 is the recessed-mount model. The BEA 10FOCUS is the surface-mount version. The 10FOCUS2 is not the externally monitored SMART FOCUS sensor.

Focused Active Infrared Presence Detection

The BEA FOCUS 2 utilizes active infrared distance measurement to detect objects within its configured detection range.

The sensor transmits infrared energy into a focused area and evaluates the returned signal to determine whether an object is present within the monitored zone.

When a qualifying person or object enters the detection field, the sensor changes the state of its output relay.

This signal can be used by a compatible automatic door controller to perform the appropriate protective or operational function.

Presence Detection Advantages

• Detects qualifying stationary and moving objects

• Maintains detection while the target remains in the sensing field

• Provides targeted protection in confined areas

• Supports specialized automatic door safety applications

• Helps supplement existing detection systems

• Allows installers to adjust the effective detection distance

Important: The FOCUS 2 is not a wide-area motion activation detector. It is intended to monitor a focused presence zone.

Recessed-Mount, Low-Profile Design

The 10FOCUS2 is specifically designed for recessed installation.

Unlike the standard surface-mounted FOCUS model, its low-profile design allows the sensor to be installed within a properly prepared mounting cavity.

Recessed-Mount Benefits

• Reduced visible hardware projection

• Clean integration with commercial entrance assemblies

• Suitable for specialized mounting locations

• Useful where exposed equipment is undesirable

• Supports installation near revolving-door pinch zones

• Allows focused sensing without a large surface-mounted housing

The sensor must be installed using the manufacturer's mounting template and dimensional requirements.

Mounting Note: Verify available depth, clearances, cable routing, and proper infrared beam orientation before cutting the mounting surface.

Revolving Door Pinch-Zone Protection

One of the primary applications for the BEA 10FOCUS2 is supplementary presence detection at revolving doors.

Revolving-door assemblies can contain areas where pedestrians may approach moving panels, fixed walls, or other pinch points.

The FOCUS 2 can be positioned to detect qualifying people or objects within an appropriately designed protected zone.

Potential Benefits

• Additional focused presence detection

• Monitoring of designated revolving-door areas

• Support for compatible protective control functions

• Low-profile installation

• Fast output response

Important: The sensor alone does not establish a complete code-compliant revolving-door safety system. The installed controller, sensors, and protective equipment must be evaluated together.

Automatic Sliding Door Sidelite Protection

The 10FOCUS2 can be used in compatible automatic sliding-door installations to provide supplemental protection near sidelites.

When a sliding door opens, moving panels may pass adjacent to fixed glass, framing, or architectural surfaces.

A properly configured FOCUS 2 sensor can monitor a designated area where additional presence detection is needed.

Application Benefits

• Focused sensing adjacent to sliding panels

• Additional protection at selected sidelite locations

• Compact recessed installation

• Compatibility with appropriate automatic door control circuits

• Adjustable sensing distance for the opening

The number of sensors and required detection coverage depend on the complete entrance design.

Drive-Thru & Pass-Thru Window Applications

The BEA FOCUS 2 is also suitable for specialized service-window applications.

Drive-thru and pass-thru windows frequently require sensing within a smaller area than a conventional pedestrian entrance.

The focused detection capability of the 10FOCUS2 makes it useful for detecting qualifying objects near the opening.

Typical Applications

• Drive-thru service windows

• Pharmacy pass-thru windows

• Commercial transaction windows

• Automated service openings

• Industrial transfer windows

• Controlled pass-through equipment

The sensor's output can be integrated with a compatible window operator or control system.

Industrial Gate & Barrier Applications

BEA identifies the FOCUS family as suitable for certain gate and barrier applications.

When installed in an appropriate horizontal orientation, the 10FOCUS2 can provide a focused presence signal to compatible equipment.

Potential Applications

• Automatic barrier systems

• Commercial gate installations

• Industrial access openings

• Specialized equipment monitoring

• Additional focused detection in restricted areas

Important: The 10FOCUS2 must not be assumed to satisfy all required gate entrapment-protection or monitoring functions. Its suitability depends on the controller, approved mounting arrangement, and applicable safety requirements.

Adjustable Detection Distance – 2 to 8 Feet

The FOCUS 2 incorporates a mechanical distance adjustment using a rotating cam with linear adjustment.

Detection Characteristics

• Detection mode: Presence

• Technology: Focused active infrared

• Maximum range: Approximately 8'2"

• Adjustable distance: 2'–8'

• Detection duration: Continuous while presence is detected

The installer can adjust the sensor according to the distance between the mounting position and the intended monitoring area.

The actual response should be tested under the installed operating conditions.

Continuous Presence Detection

The 10FOCUS2 provides continuous presence detection rather than relying on a fixed, short-duration pulse.

When an object remains within the sensing field, the sensor can maintain the detection output.

This is especially useful where an object may stop within the protected zone.

Benefits

• Detects stationary occupancy within the configured area

• Supports continued detection during an object’s presence

• Helps prevent premature clearance signals

• Provides focused monitoring for specialized automatic-door applications

Important: Actual stopping, reversing, or movement inhibition is performed by the compatible door controller and must be correctly configured.

NO/NC Relay Output

The BEA FOCUS 2 incorporates a relay output with normally open and normally closed contact connections.

The output can be connected to an appropriate automatic door or equipment controller.

Relay Specifications

• Output type: Relay

• Contact arrangement: NO / NC

• Maximum contact current: 1 A

• Maximum contact voltage: 30 V, resistive rating

• Connection: 5-conductor cable

The correct output arrangement depends on the control system and the required response to detection, sensor faults, and power loss.

Installation Note: Follow the manufacturer’s connection diagram for the correct NO, NC, common, and supply wiring.

LED Status Indication

The 10FOCUS2 features a green LED for sensor status indication.

According to BEA, the green LED indicates the no-detection condition.

The indicator assists technicians during installation and troubleshooting.
