Microwave Sensors for Automatic Door Safety

Microwave Sensors, also known as Radar or Doppler sensors have been used to activate automatic doors for decades. Today's safety standards such as ANSI/BHMA A156.10 have been the driving force for improvement of microwave technology in automatic door applications.

The microwave sensor sends out a high frequency sound wave while listening for bounce back. When the sound wave is returned at a different frequency the sensor knows that there is a moving object within the detection zone. It then sends a signal to the internal relay, which is wired to the door control's activation input.

Bircher-Reglomat uses the latest technology in microwave detection. Utilizing the planar or flat antenna, at 24.125 GHz in the K-band range gives our sensors the capability of achieving the sharpest, most adjustable detection field possible with today's microwave technology.
