Dual Technology Door Sensor from BEA Maximizes Safety and Energy Efficiency

IXIO-DT1 eliminates false activations due to weather conditions

Pittsburgh – BEA’s new IXIO-DT1 sensor manages pedestrian traffic through automatic sliding doors while reducing energy costs and maximizing safety. The sensor uses radar and infrared technology to provide activation and safety presence detection for linear, telescopic and curved pedestrian sliding doors.

IXIO-DT1 uses a unidirectional sensing capability that reduces the duration of the door’s hold-open time. Two rows of 24 high-density infrared spots form two protective curtains, which create a safety zone that prevents the door from closing on any person that lingers in the doorway.

Users can customize settings on the IXIO-DT1 with an easy-to-use LED display. A highly visible four-beam alignment system allows correct position of the sensor’s safety zone, ensuring proper doorway coverage. The sensor uses BEA’s “Intelli-Tracking +” feature to eliminate false activations due to weather conditions, allowing energy-saving operation in all environments.
