Dual-Technology Commercial Automatic Door Sensor with Two Infrared Safety Curtains, Adjustable Motion Activation, LCD Programming & External Monitoring Capability

The BEA 10IXIODT1 IXIO-DT1 Motion and Presence Sensor is a commercial-grade, dual-technology automatic door sensor designed to provide both pedestrian motion activation and threshold presence protection for compatible automatic sliding doors.

Combining 24.150 GHz microwave Doppler radar with advanced active infrared presence detection, the IXIO-DT1 offers reliable door activation and precise monitoring of the doorway safety area.

The microwave radar detects qualifying approaching pedestrian traffic and sends an activation signal to the automatic door controller. Meanwhile, two high-density active infrared curtains monitor the threshold area to help protect pedestrians during automatic door operation.

Each infrared curtain features up to 24 detection spots, providing a combined total of up to 48 detection spots. This configuration allows the sensor to detect presence throughout its programmed threshold safety field.

The BEA 10IXIODT1 offers ten microwave activation sensitivity settings, three infrared immunity settings, adjustable detection patterns, and directional sensing to help reduce unnecessary door activation.

Its integrated LCD display and multifunction adjustment control simplify setup, diagnostics, and programming. The sensor also supports external monitoring when properly connected to a compatible automatic door controller.

Designed for mounting heights of 6'6" to 11'6", the IXIO-DT1 operates on 12–24VAC or 12–30VDC, consumes less than 2.5 watts, and features an IP54-rated housing.

Whether replacing an existing automatic sliding door sensor or upgrading a commercial pedestrian entrance, the BEA IXIO-DT1 provides professional-grade activation and monitored presence-detection capabilities in one compact assembly.

Important: This listing is for the standard BEA 10IXIODT1 Automatic Sliding Door Sensor. It is not the IXIO-DT1 INDUSTRIAL, IXIO-ST presence-only sensor, or the IXIO-DT1 V camera-equipped model.

Dual-Technology Motion Activation & Presence Detection

The primary advantage of the BEA IXIO-DT1 is its ability to combine two different automatic door sensing functions within one housing.

Microwave Motion Activation

The microwave radar monitors the programmed approach area for qualifying pedestrian movement.

When an approaching pedestrian enters the configured radar field, the sensor sends an activation signal to the compatible automatic sliding door controller.

The operator then initiates the programmed door-opening sequence.

Radar Activation Features

• 24.150 GHz microwave Doppler radar

• Minimum detectable movement speed of approximately 2 inches per second

• Adjustable detection field

• Directional movement detection

• Ten sensitivity settings

• Adjustable output hold time

• Compatible automatic sliding door activation relay

Active Infrared Presence Detection

The active infrared sensing system monitors a designated area within the doorway threshold.

Unlike motion-only sensing, the infrared system can detect a qualifying person or object remaining within its detection field.

This provides an additional level of protection when pedestrians are entering, exiting, or temporarily stopping in the doorway.

Active Infrared Features

• Two independent detection curtains

• Up to 24 detection spots per curtain

• Up to 48 total detection spots

• Typical spot dimensions of 2" × 2"

• Infrared background analysis

• Adjustable curtain alignment

• Three immunity settings

• Dedicated presence output

Important: Actual door opening, holding, and closing behavior depends on the complete automatic door controller and properly configured safety system.

Two High-Density Infrared Safety Curtains

The 10IXIODT1 incorporates two active infrared curtains that monitor the automatic sliding door threshold.

The curtains are designed to detect people and qualifying objects within the protected sensing field.

Infrared Curtain Benefits

• Provides focused threshold presence detection

• Supports appropriate door safety logic

• Helps maintain a detection signal while the monitored area is occupied

• Supports accurate setup across the doorway

• Can help reduce premature closing when the threshold is occupied

Each curtain features up to 24 detection spots.

The sensor's infrared presence response time is typically less than 200 milliseconds, with a published maximum of 500 milliseconds.

The detection pattern must be properly adjusted for the opening's width, threshold arrangement, and applicable safety requirements.

Four Visible Red Infrared Alignment Spots

The BEA IXIO-DT1 features visible alignment aids to simplify infrared curtain positioning.

Four red reference spots can be projected onto the ground to help technicians verify the location of the infrared safety curtains.

Alignment Benefits

• Assists with initial installation

• Supports accurate curtain positioning

• Helps identify the protected threshold area

• Simplifies field adjustments

• Supports troubleshooting and maintenance

The visibility of these spots depends on surrounding lighting and surface conditions.

A compatible BEA infrared spotfinder can be used when the alignment spots are difficult to see.

Directional Radar Activation

The microwave radar supports directional detection, allowing the sensor to distinguish approaching and departing traffic.

This can help reduce unnecessary door-opening cycles when people are moving away from the entrance.

Directional Detection Benefits

• Helps reduce unwanted activation

• Supports more efficient pedestrian traffic flow

• Limits unnecessary opening and closing cycles

• Can reduce heating and cooling losses

• Helps maintain consistent commercial entrance operation

Settings must be adjusted and tested for the actual pedestrian approach paths.

Adjustable Radar Detection Field

The BEA IXIO-DT1 allows the microwave radar sensing area to be configured according to the automatic sliding door opening.

The manufacturer provides wide and narrow reference field configurations.

Typical Radar Field Dimensions at Approximately 7.2' Mounting Height

Radar Configuration	Reference Detection Field
Wide	Approximately 13' × 6'6"
Narrow	Approximately 6'6" × 8'

Actual dimensions depend on the radar antenna configuration, mounting height, angle, sensitivity, and operating environment.

Installation Benefits

• Supports varying door widths

• Helps target the intended approach area

• Reduces detection of unrelated nearby movement

• Provides flexibility for pedestrian entrances

• Supports improved energy efficiency

Ten Microwave Sensitivity Settings

The BEA 10IXIODT1 provides ten microwave activation sensitivity settings.

These settings allow installers to configure the radar activation response for the entrance.

A sensitivity setting may need to be adjusted when an automatic door is installed near:

• Busy pedestrian walkways

• Adjacent moving doors

• Narrow approach corridors

• Storefront traffic areas

• Nearby moving equipment

• Entrances experiencing unwanted activation

The final setup should be verified through actual approach testing.

Three Infrared Immunity Settings

The IXIO-DT1 provides three infrared immunity settings to help accommodate different installation environments.

These settings assist technicians in balancing presence-detection response with environmental conditions.

Benefits

• Supports stable sensing performance

• Helps reduce environmental interference

• Allows adjustment during installation

• Supports reliable threshold detection

Changes to infrared immunity settings must be followed by complete safety-field testing.

An adjustment knob provides menu navigation and selection.

The sensor is also compatible with the BEA 10REMOTE Universal Remote Control, which can be especially useful for service applications.

Remote Control Sold Separately: The 10REMOTE is not automatically included with the 10IXIODT1.

Internal & External Monitoring Capability

The IXIO-DT1 supports internal sensor monitoring and external monitoring when correctly integrated with a compatible automatic sliding door controller.

External monitoring allows the door controller to send a test signal and verify the sensor's response.

Monitoring Specifications

• Monitoring/test input included
