Open Quickly, Close Safely—with the Two-in-One MotionScan Sensor for Automatic Sliding Doors

Reliable operation in every situation and timely door opening for unrestricted passage

Pepperl+Fuchs: The two-in-one MotionScan sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs combines managing large numbers of people with the ability to safely identify and protect individuals simultaneously. The large radar detection field detects approaching persons early and ensures doors open in a timely manner. At the same time, the large infrared protection field provides the best possible protection to prevent people from colliding with the doors.

Timely door opening ensures unrestricted passage. The high-performance MotionScan radar module emits a pulse instructing automatic sliding doors to open. Within the large radar detection field of up to 4 x 4 m, approaching persons are quickly and reliably detected, ensuring unrestricted passage even for large numbers of people.

To avoid the danger presented by closing doors, the active infrared light sensor integrated into MotionScan ensures that the leading edge is protected on both sides of the door. To provide the highest degree of safety and collision protection, a total of three infrared emitter banks are used to create a protection field starting from the door up to a maximum distance of 1.10 m. This protection field can be adjusted.

Whether high-gloss marble, stone tiles or gratings—MotionScan provides the highest level of functional safety for every kind of floor covering. The protection and detection fields, integrated direction monitoring and cross-traffic suppression as well as the mounting height of up to 3.2 meters can also be adjusted, which means MotionScan can be used for a range of applications.

Thanks to its convenient, single button operation and the integrated installation instructions on the sensor, installing and commissioning MotionScan is quick and easy. The operating state is also conveniently and clearly displayed via a multi-colored LED.
