Commercial Hands-Free Door Activation | Adjustable 2"–24" Detection Range | 12–24VAC/VDC | NEMA 4 / IP65 Rated

The BEA 10MS11DW MS11 Magic Switch is a commercial-grade, hands-free automatic door activation sensor designed to provide convenient, hygienic, and accessible operation of automatic pedestrian doors.

Featuring advanced microwave Doppler radar technology, the BEA 10MS11DW detects hand or body movement without requiring physical contact with the activation plate. This touchless operation helps reduce contact with frequently used door activation surfaces in healthcare, cleanroom, commercial, and industrial environments.

Constructed with a durable white powder-coated stainless steel faceplate and illuminated ABS sensor center, the MS11 combines commercial-grade construction with a clean, professional appearance.

The 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" double-gang design provides a convenient mounting configuration for commercial automatic door installations, while the adjustable 2-inch to 24-inch detection range allows installers to customize activation sensitivity for the surrounding environment.

Additional features include a configurable 1–30 second output hold time, selectable audible notification, blue/green visual activation indicators, and NEMA 4 / IP65-rated enclosure protection.

Designed for use with compatible automatic door controllers, the BEA 10MS11DW is an excellent choice for commercial facilities requiring touchless door activation, accessibility improvements, or replacement components for existing BEA MS11 installations.

Technical Specifications

How the BEA 10MS11DW Works

Step 1 – Hand Movement Detection

A pedestrian approaches the sensor and waves a hand within the configured detection area.

Step 2 – Microwave Sensor Activation

The microwave Doppler radar detects movement and triggers the sensor's internal switching output.

Step 3 – Visual Confirmation

The illuminated sensor center changes from blue to green, indicating activation. An audible notification may also sound if enabled.

Step 4 – Automatic Door Operation

The sensor sends an activation signal to the connected automatic door controller.

The controller activates the compatible automatic door operator according to its programmed sequence.

Step 5 – Output Reset

The sensor output returns to its configured state after the selected hold time or according to its operating mode.
