User Manual for BEA Ultimo Sliding Door Sensor

Quick guide from the manual

The BEA Ultimo is an activation and safety sensor designed for automatic sliding doors. It utilizes microwave doppler radar for motion detection and active infrared (AIR) for presence detection. Installation and setup should only be performed by trained and qualified personnel. The sensor can be configured using the onboard LCD screen or a remote control. Always test the system for proper operation according to ANSI 156.10 standards before leaving the site.

Product description

The sensor consists of several key components:

• Cover: Protective housing for the sensor electronics.
• Radar antenna: Detects motion.
• AIR receiver and emitter: Used for presence detection.
• LCD screen: Interface for configuration and diagnostics.
• Adjustment knobs: Used for setting the AIR curtain angle and main adjustments.
• Main connector: Interface for power and signal wiring.

Installation and wiring

Mount the sensor centered over the clear opening, ensuring the bottom of the sensor is no higher than 5 inches from the bottom of the door header. Secure the sensor to avoid vibrations. Route the harness using the provided wire stay.

Wiring connections:

• Red/Black: Power supply (12-24 VAC or 12-30 VDC).
• Brown/Blue: Safety input.
• White: Opening input (COM).
• Yellow/Green: Opening input (N.C./N.O.).
• Purple: Test output.

Ensure the door control unit and header cover profile are correctly grounded.

Programming and setup

The sensor can be programmed via the LCD menu or a remote control. To use the LCD, push the button to enter the menu, enter the password if necessary, and navigate using the scroll and select functions. Always lock the sensor after completing adjustments. The sensor supports factory resets (full or partial) to restore settings.

Radar field adjustments

The radar detection field can be adjusted for angle and shape:

• Angle: Tilt the antenna up to adjust depth outward and down to adjust inward.
• Shape: Use the LCD menu or remote control to select between wide or narrow lobes.

Active infrared safety field

The AIR safety field uses curtains to detect presence. You can choose the number and position of curtains based on the application. Use the red adjustment knob to position the curtains correctly. The sensor features ULTI-SYNC to eliminate crosstalk when multiple sensors are installed near each other.

Troubleshooting

The sensor uses LED signals to indicate status and errors:

• Red LED: Indicates motion or presence detection. Flashing red may indicate setup errors or password protection.
• Orange LED: Indicates internal faults, power supply issues, or communication errors.
• Green LED: Indicates motion detection or environmental disturbances.

If the sensor does not react, check the power supply and wiring. For specific error codes (E1-E8), refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual for corrective actions.
