User Manual for BEA FLY Request-to-Exit Sensor

Quick guide from the manual

The BEA FLY and FLY ERT are request-to-exit sensors designed for access control. Important: These sensors are not recommended for activation on pedestrian automatic doors because the passive infrared technology detects temperature changes (body heat) and will not recognize inanimate objects like shopping carts or gurneys. Ensure all wiring is checked before powering up and that the door control system is properly grounded.

Description

The sensor consists of a lens (with mask inside) and a housing. It can be used with optional adapters: the FLY Ceiling Adapter (FCA) or the FLY Surface Adapter (FSA).

Precautions

• Shut off all power to the header before wiring.
• Only trained and qualified personnel should install and set up the sensor.
• Always test the proper operation of the installation before leaving the premises.
• Do not attempt internal repairs; unauthorized disassembly voids the warranty.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards such as ANSI A156.10.

Preparing the Sensor

The sensor can be customized using the mask and DIP switches:

• Masking: To adjust the sensing field, remove segments of the mask using a diagonal cutter. You can choose between Full, Asymmetric, or Shorter Depth detection patterns. If using the mask, cut at least one segment to allow detection.
• DIP Switches: Adjust settings based on your application:
  • 1 (Sensitivity): ON = high, OFF = low.
  • 2 (Relay Output): ON = passive output (relay contact open during detection), OFF = active output (relay contact closed during detection).
  • 3 (Hold Time): For FLY: ON = 2 sec, OFF = 0.5 sec. For FLY ERT: ON = 30 sec, OFF = 15 sec.

Mounting & Wiring

1. Attach the template to the frame above the door.
2. Drill holes and pass the cable through the template.
3. Place the sensor on the template and attach using the provided screws.
4. Connect the sensor cable to the unit. Input power is not polarity-sensitive.

Wiring Table:

• Pin 1: 12 - 24 V (POWER)
• Pin 2: 12 - 24 V (POWER)
• Pin 3: RELAY COM
• Pin 4: RELAY NO
• Pin 5: RELAY NC

The LED will flash for a few seconds after start-up and will illuminate when motion is detected.

Troubleshooting

• Door will not unlock / LED does not illuminate: Check power supply and supplied voltage.
• Lock does not release upon detection, but LED illuminates: Check for incorrect relay output (change #2 DIP switch position) or incorrect wiring.
• Size of detection field does not meet requirements: Adjust the masking lens by cutting a new one to meet the required size.
