High-Precision Time-of-Flight Motion & Presence Sensor for Industrial Automatic Doors, High-Speed Doors, Loading Docks, Gates and Vehicle Safety Applications

The BEA 10LZRI30 LZR-I30 Industrial Laser Scanner is a commercial-grade laser detection sensor designed for industrial door automation, vehicle access systems, loading dock entrances, and specialized industrial safety applications.

Featuring advanced laser Time-of-Flight technology, the LZR-I30 detects qualifying people, vehicles, and objects within a programmable three-dimensional detection area.

Unlike conventional microwave radar sensors that primarily detect movement, the BEA LZR-I30 supports both motion and presence detection, allowing compatible industrial door controllers to receive signals when qualifying objects enter or remain within the monitored area.

The sensor incorporates four infrared laser detection curtains, providing a configurable scanning area of up to 30 feet wide × 30 feet deep under the manufacturer's specified operating conditions.

Its precise laser detection makes it suitable for high-speed industrial doors, commercial overhead doors, vehicle gates, automated barriers, and other applications where accurate object detection is important.

The 10LZRI30 features two galvanically isolated electronic relay outputs, allowing the installer to configure a primary safety detection field and an optional activation field.

Additional features include three visible red alignment beams, automatic field learning, adjustable detection sensitivity and object-size filtering, selectable environmental immunity settings, and remote-control programming.

The rugged IP65 / NEMA 4-rated enclosure offers protection for appropriately installed indoor and outdoor industrial environments, while 10–35VDC operation supports integration with compatible industrial automation controls.

Whether replacing an existing laser scanner or upgrading an automatic industrial entrance, the BEA 10LZRI30 provides flexible three-dimensional sensing for demanding commercial applications.

Important: The LZR-I30 requires a compatible DC power supply. The BEA 10REMOTE Universal Remote Control is required for sensor programming and adjustments and should be ordered separately if not already available.

Four-Curtain, Three-Dimensional Laser Detection

The defining feature of the BEA LZR-I30 is its four-curtain laser detection system.

Each curtain measures distance using laser Time-of-Flight technology. Together, the curtains establish a configurable detection volume rather than a single flat sensing line.

The scanner can be adjusted to monitor a large area surrounding an industrial opening, providing information to the connected control system about the presence of people or vehicles.

Detection System Features

• Four infrared laser curtains

• Maximum detection dimensions of 30' × 30'

• Configurable curtain assignments

• Adjustable field width and height

• Configurable motion and presence detection

• Separate safety and optional activation zones

• Laser-based object-distance measurement

Important: The 30' × 30' specification describes the maximum reference detection field, not a guaranteed detection volume for every opening. Actual coverage depends on mounting height, curtain geometry, field learning, installation position, environmental conditions, and object characteristics.

Laser Time-of-Flight Technology

The BEA 10LZRI30 uses infrared laser pulses to measure the distance between the sensor and objects in its scanning area.

This allows the sensor to identify qualifying people, vehicles, or other objects within the programmed detection zone.

Advantages of Time-of-Flight Sensing

• Detects stationary as well as moving objects

• Provides distance-based sensing

• Supports precise industrial detection fields

• Allows adjustable field boundaries

• Can reduce unwanted detection outside the programmed area

• Supports automated door and vehicle access control applications

The system uses a 905 nm Class 1 infrared laser for normal detection.

It also incorporates 635 nm Class 2 visible alignment lasers, activated during setup to help technicians position the sensing field.

Laser Safety: Do not stare into the visible alignment beams. Follow all manufacturer installation and service precautions.

Maximum 30' × 30' Detection Field

The LZR-I30 is designed for industrial installations that require a larger detection area than typical short-range entrance sensors.

The manufacturer's specified maximum sensing dimensions are 30 feet × 30 feet.

Within the available detection area, installers can adjust the programmed safety and optional fields to correspond with the intended opening and approach zone.

Field Configuration Options

• Adjust field width

• Adjust field height or depth

• Define safety sensing boundaries

• Configure a separate optional detection field

• Learn the surrounding environment

• Exclude certain learned objects from the sensing zone

The manufacturer's installation documentation identifies adjustable programmed field dimensions starting at approximately 20 inches and extending to 360 inches, subject to the learned field boundaries.

The factory-default field is limited to a smaller area and can be expanded through programming.

Industrial Door Safety Field – Relay 2

The BEA LZR-I30 incorporates a dedicated safety-field output.

When a qualifying object is detected within the configured safety field, the sensor changes the state of the associated electronic relay.

A compatible industrial door controller can then respond according to its programmed protective functions.

Safety Field Applications

• Industrial overhead door protection

• High-speed door opening detection

• Vehicle entrance monitoring

• Detection of people or vehicles near the opening

• Supplementary industrial equipment protection

• Monitored door safety configurations

The safety field can be configured using the sensor's learning function and programmed dimensions.

Important: The presence of a safety-field output does not automatically make an entire door or gate installation code-compliant. The complete equipment system must be assessed, configured, and tested for applicable safety requirements.

Optional Activation Field – Relay 1

In addition to the primary safety field, the LZR-I30 provides a separate optional field.

This field can be assigned to applications requiring a second detection zone or activation signal.

Potential Uses

• Industrial door activation

• Vehicle approach detection

• Separate detection zones

• Virtual push-button operation

• Specialized automation control

• Additional monitoring of designated areas

The dedicated output allows compatible controllers to distinguish between the programmed safety and optional fields.

The installer must verify that the selected output functions match the intended control logic.

Virtual Push-Button Activation

A distinctive feature of the BEA LZR-I30 is its ability to create virtual push-button zones.

Instead of relying only on a physical wall-mounted push button, an installer can configure a specific area where a user intentionally presents a hand or another qualifying target.

The sensor can then communicate an activation request through the appropriate relay output.

Virtual Push-Button Features

• Supports up to two virtual activation zones

• Configurable during sensor learning

• Useful for specialized industrial door applications

• Supports contactless activation where properly designed

• Adjustable zone positioning

A corresponding sign or marker can identify the intended activation location.

Important: Virtual push-button functionality must be evaluated for the actual door or equipment application. It is not automatically a substitute for a required manual control, emergency stop, or knowing-act device.

Automatic Field Learning

The LZR-I30 incorporates an automatic learning process that helps establish its detection area.

During setup, the sensor evaluates the surrounding environment and uses this information to determine the available detection field.

Field Learning Benefits

• Adapts sensing to the installed environment

• Helps configure boundaries around the opening

• Supports different mounting positions

• Reduces unnecessary field coverage

• Simplifies professional setup

• Supports system adjustments after changes to the area

A new learning cycle should be performed whenever the sensor is repositioned or relevant objects in the detection area are changed.

The learning process must always be followed by complete functional testing.

Three Visible Red Alignment Beams

The BEA 10LZRI30 includes three visible red laser reference beams.

These beams help technicians position the sensor's detection field accurately during installation.

Alignment Benefits

• Provides visual field-position reference points

• Helps adjust the sensor's tilt angle

• Supports accurate positioning relative to the door

• Simplifies field configuration

• Assists with troubleshooting

The visible beams are intended for installation and alignment and are not continuously active during normal operation.

Laser Classification

• Infrared detection laser: 905 nm, Class 1

• Visible alignment laser: 635 nm, Class 2

Follow the manufacturer's laser safety instructions when performing adjustments.

Adjustable Environmental Immunity & Object Filtering

Industrial entrances may be exposed to environmental conditions that can influence sensing performance.

The LZR-I30 incorporates settings that help optimize detection for different environments.

Adjustable Features

• Indoor and outdoor immunity settings

• Minimum detected object size

• Output activation delay

• Uncovered zone

• Field dimensions

• Active curtain selection

• Detection output configuration

These settings can help reduce unnecessary detection associated with changing floor conditions and selected outdoor environmental disturbances.

Important: The sensor's environmental filtering does not guarantee reliable operation through heavy fog, smoke, condensation, accumulated debris, or obstructed laser windows.

Adjustable Minimum Object Size

The LZR-I30 allows technicians to configure minimum-object-size filtering.

This can be useful where the sensor must distinguish relevant people or vehicles from smaller objects that should not activate the system.

BEA publishes a typical detection capability of approximately 2.75 inches at 30 feet, depending on the application and configuration.

The manufacturer's general product overview also identifies detection of objects as small as approximately 2 inches at 30 feet under favorable conditions.

Object Filtering Benefits

• Helps reduce unnecessary activation

• Supports different industrial vehicle environments

• Allows sensitivity to be tailored to the application

• Provides greater control over the detection response

Safety Note: Increasing minimum-object-size filtering can prevent smaller objects from being detected. Settings must be chosen based on the hazards and required protective performance of the installation.
