Commercial Automatic Door Activation & Presence Detection Sensor with 24.150 GHz Radar, 40 Infrared Detection Spots, Adjustable Detection Patterns & 12–24V AC/DC Operation

The BEA 10IS40 IS40 Industrial Motion and Presence Sensor is a commercial-grade, dual-technology sensor designed for automatic industrial doors, high-speed doors, commercial overhead doors, warehouse entrances, and loading dock applications.

Combining 24.150 GHz microwave Doppler radar with active infrared presence detection, the BEA IS40 provides both motion-based door activation and object presence monitoring within its configurable sensing fields.

The microwave radar detects approaching vehicles and qualifying movement, while the active infrared system monitors the designated detection area for people or objects that may remain within the opening.

Featuring 40 infrared detection spots, nine configurable infrared patterns, six microwave filtering modes, and independently adjustable detection settings, the IS40 offers flexible operation for industrial entrances with changing traffic conditions.

The 10IS40 is designed for mounting heights between 8 and 16 feet, providing a typical maximum microwave detection field of 13' × 16½' and an infrared presence detection field of approximately 10' × 10' under specified reference conditions.

Its durable NEMA 4 / IP65-rated enclosure provides environmental protection for demanding industrial environments, while 12–24V AC/DC compatibility supports integration with properly configured automatic door controllers.

The sensor also features two separate relay outputs, LED status indicators, remote programming compatibility, and a manufacturer-specified 32-foot connection cable.

Whether replacing an existing industrial door sensor or upgrading an automatic entrance, the BEA 10IS40 combines motion activation and infrared presence detection in one compact, professional-grade device.

Important: The 10IS40 is an industrial activation and presence sensor. BEA does not designate it as a standalone safety sensor. Use the required independent door safety and obstruction-protection equipment for the complete installation.

Dual-Technology Motion & Presence Detection

The primary advantage of the BEA 10IS40 is its combination of two distinct sensing technologies in one housing.

Microwave Motion Detection

The microwave radar identifies qualifying movement within the configured activation field.

When a moving vehicle or other qualifying target approaches the opening, the sensor provides a radar activation signal to the compatible door controller.

Microwave Detection Features

• 24.150 GHz Doppler radar

• Motion-based detection

• Adjustable detection field

• Directional sensing

• Pedestrian rejection settings

• Parallel-traffic filtering

• Separate radar output relay

Active Infrared Presence Detection

The active infrared portion monitors a configurable area for the presence of people or objects.

Unlike motion-only radar, infrared presence detection can respond to a qualifying object that remains stationary within its sensing area.

Infrared Detection Features

• 875 nm active infrared technology

• 40 infrared detection spots

• Nine configurable detection patterns

• Adjustable infrared immunity

• Separate presence output relay

• Red LED detection indication

Together, these technologies provide more flexibility than a conventional industrial motion-only activation sensor.

40 Active Infrared Detection Spots

The BEA 10IS40 uses an active infrared system incorporating 40 detection spots.

These spots help define the sensor's presence-detection area and provide adjustable coverage near the industrial door opening.

Infrared Presence Benefits

• Detects qualifying stationary objects

• Helps monitor the designated doorway area

• Supports separate presence signaling

• Provides adjustable coverage patterns

• Offers an additional source of information to the door controller

The infrared field must be positioned and programmed according to the intended application.

Important: Presence detection does not automatically make the sensor suitable for required life-safety or entrapment-protection functions.

Nine Adjustable Infrared Detection Patterns

The BEA IS40 supports nine infrared pattern configurations to accommodate different industrial door applications.

These options allow technicians to adapt the presence field to the opening and surrounding environment.

Adjustment Benefits

• Configure the infrared sensing footprint

• Accommodate different door widths

• Reduce unwanted detection outside the opening

• Tailor detection to the actual traffic area

• Support sensor positioning at various industrial mounting heights

The sensor also incorporates adjustable infrared immunity settings to help mitigate certain disturbances caused by light, sunlight, door vibration, and changing environmental conditions.

Industrial Mounting Height – 8 to 16 Feet

The BEA 10IS40 is intended for industrial mounting heights between 8 and 16 feet.

This makes it suitable for many warehouse doors, high-speed doors, commercial overhead doors, and loading dock entrances.

Mounting Characteristics

• Minimum installation height: 8 feet

• Maximum installation height: 16 feet

• Typical radar detection field: 13' × 16½'

• Typical infrared presence field: 10' × 10'

• Radar antenna tilt adjustment: -8° to +22° relative to sensor face

• Sensor mounting angle: 15°–45°

The final mounting position and detection settings depend on the door dimensions, controller configuration, and intended vehicle approach area.

Low-Mount Alternative: For openings requiring mounting heights of 6½–11½ feet, consider the BEA 10IS40XL.

Directional Radar Detection

The BEA IS40 supports configurable directional motion sensing.

Bidirectional Detection

Detects qualifying movement in either direction within the radar field.

Unidirectional Approach Detection

Can be configured to favor movement approaching the entrance.

Unidirectional Departure Detection

Can be configured to favor movement departing the entrance.

Directional sensing helps reduce unnecessary door-opening cycles caused by vehicles traveling away from the opening.

Pedestrian & Parallel-Traffic Rejection

Industrial entrances frequently experience pedestrians, forklifts, and other moving traffic near the doorway.

The BEA 10IS40 offers six adjustable microwave filtering modes to help installers configure the desired activation behavior.

Filtering Benefits

• Helps reduce unwanted pedestrian activation

• Helps reject qualifying parallel traffic

• Reduces unnecessary door cycles

• Supports more efficient industrial traffic control

• May help reduce unnecessary heating and cooling losses

• Allows customization for different vehicle types

Important: Filtering affects microwave activation behavior. It does not disable the need for proper infrared configuration or independent safety devices.

Separate Motion & Presence Relay Outputs

The 10IS40 features two independent potential-free changeover relays.

One output is assigned to microwave motion detection, while the second provides the active infrared presence signal.

Radar Relay

Communicates qualifying motion detection to the compatible door controller.

Infrared Relay

Communicates the active infrared presence-detection condition.

Output Ratings

• Two changeover relays

• Maximum contact voltage: 42V AC/DC

• Maximum current: 1A resistive

• Maximum switching power: 30W DC / 48VA AC

These outputs allow the compatible controller to distinguish between a movement activation request and a presence signal.

The relays are low-power control outputs and must not be used to directly power an industrial door motor.

Automatic Overhead & High-Speed Door Applications

The BEA 10IS40 can be integrated into compatible industrial automatic door systems.

Typical applications include:

• High-speed fabric doors

• Commercial sectional overhead doors

• Industrial rolling steel doors

• Warehouse entrances

• Loading dock vehicle doors

• Manufacturing facility entrances

• Distribution center openings

• Forklift access points

The radar output can provide an activation request when qualifying motion is detected, while the infrared output provides separate presence information to the controller.

The actual operating response depends on the controller's configuration and supported functions.

NEMA 4 / IP65 Industrial Housing

The BEA IS40 incorporates an industrial enclosure designed to withstand challenging operating environments.

Environmental Features

• NEMA 4 enclosure designation

• IP65 ingress protection

• ABS and polycarbonate construction

• Protection against dust ingress

• Resistance to water exposure within the specified rating

• Operating temperature: -22°F to 140°F

• Relative humidity: 0–95%, non-condensing

The enclosure makes the IS40 suitable for appropriately installed indoor and outdoor industrial door applications.

Correct installation and cable routing are necessary to maintain environmental protection.

Remote & Onboard Programming

The BEA 10IS40 supports programming using onboard push buttons or the optional BEA 10REMOTE Universal Remote Control.

Remote programming helps simplify adjustments on sensors mounted above industrial door openings.

Configurable Functions

• Microwave detection sensitivity

• Directional sensing

• Microwave filtering

• Infrared detection patterns

• Infrared immunity settings

• Output relay configuration

• Radar hold time

• Supported detection parameters
