3 Precautions
 Shut off all power before attempting any wiring procedures.
 Maintain a clean & safe environment when working in public areas.
 Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
 Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing tests that may result in unexpected reactions by the door.
 ESD: Circuit boards are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any board ensure you dissipate your body’s charge.
 Always check placement of all wiring before powering up to insure that moving door parts will not catch any wires and cause damage to equipment.
 Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10 / A156.19) upon completion of installation.
 DO NOT attempt any internal repair of the sensor. All repairs and/or component replacements must be performed by BEA, Inc. Unauthorized disas-
sembly or repair:
1. May jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of electrical shock.
2. May adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product will result in a voided product warranty.

5 Loop Installation Tips

A . CABLE SPECIFICATIONS FOR LOOP AND FEEDER

• 16 AWG (1.5mm²) cross section area ;

• Multi-strand cable ;
• Insulation material : PVC or Silicone ;
• For the feeder cable, the wire must be twisted at least 15 times per yard for each cable.
• Feeder for long runs used for foil screened cable is recommended (earth at equipment end only)
• The feeder cable must be firmly fixed to avoid any false detection (max length: 330 ft. / 100m).
• Waterproof cable junction box is required.

B. LOOP GEOMETRY

L
• When two adjacent loops are connected to a dual channel
sensor, it is possible for these loops to share a common
slot, if so required. As the channels are multiplexed, no
Ea interference will occur.

• Avoid large loops or long feeder (max 330 ft. / 100 m),
Eb or else the sensitivity will be affected.

C. NUMBER OF LOOP TURNS

• Measure the length (L) and width (Ea) of one loop. Multiply these numbers together to determine the loop surface area.
• For example: If L=10 ft, Ea= 3 ft, then the area = 30 ft2; 4 loop turns are recommended - or -
If L=2m, Ea=1m, then the area = 2 m2 ; 4 loop turns are recommended.

WARNING: FOR CONFORMITY REASONS, IN ANY INSTALLATION, THE LOOP SURFACE MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF
TURNS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 215 SQUARE FEET OR 20 SQUARE METERS.

Recommended values for the turns: Area Number of turns

<32 ft² <3 m² 4
32 – 54 ft² 3 – 5 m² 3
65 – 108 ft² 6 – 10 m² 2

III. RELAY CONFIGURATION (DIPSWITCH #3)

A 10 position dip switch is located on the front of the Matrix single detector. Dip switch 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 configure the relay, while dip switch 9
controls the duration of the pulse when the Matrix is configured for pulse operation, (as opposed to presence). Configurations are as follows:

DIPSWITCH 3:

OFF= FAIL-SECURE MODE Relay is NOT energized when power is applied. Relay is energized upon detection only. In this mode, the NO
circuit is open, and the NC circuit is closed. Thus, if a closed circuit is required upon detection, one must use the NO and COM terminals
since they would close upon detection. When the Matrix is NOT powered, it is in the same state as it would be for non-detection.

ON = FAIL-SAFE MODE Relay is energized as soon as power is applied and de-energizes upon detection or power loss. In this mode, upon
powering the detector, the NO circuit becomes closed, and the NC circuit becomes open. Thus, if a closed circuit is required upon detection,
one must use the NC and COM terminals, since they would now be OPEN during non-detection, and would close upon detection. When the
Matrix is NOT powered, it is in the same state as it would be for detection.

FAIL-SECURE MODE (Active Mode) FAIL-SAFE MODE (Passive Mode)

IV. DIPSWITCHES

A. After each dipswitch change the sensor launches a learning process.

DIPSWITCH LEARNING PROCESS

#1 Frequency Adjustments of Loop A (see ADJUSTMENTS)
#2 Frequency Adjustments of Loop A (with single loop) or Loop B (with Dual Loops)
#3 Relay configuration: Active (Fail-Secure) or Passive (Fail-Safe)(See Programming Step III.)
#4 Automatic Sensitivity Boost (ASB option) [recommended for improved truck detection] :
During a detection, the sensitivity increases automatically to 8 times the preset sensitivity given by the sensitivity
potentiometer adjustment. It is limited to the maximum sensitivity (Δf = 0.005%). It goes back to the preset value after
detection stops.
#5 Relay A Function: Presence or Pulse (not used with dual loop in combined mode)
#6 Relay A Pulse type: Entry or Exit (used only at pulse function)
or Relay B Mode (with dual loop in combined mode) (see drawing on next page)
• Non-Directional: Relay B provides a pulse according to the dip switches #7 and #8 setting.
• Directional A B: Relay B provides a pulse only if loop A is detecting before loop B. The logic detection takes place
according to dip switches #7 and #8.

WARNING: DURING THE DETECTION, THE 2 LOOPS HAVE TO DETECT SIMULTANEOUSLY FOR A SHORT
PERIOD TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE MOVEMENT DIRECTION. DURING LOOP INSTALLATION
MAKE SURE THE 2 LOOPS ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO EACH OTHER TO ENSURE A COMMON
DETECTION (TYPICAL 3 FEET).

#7 Relay B Function: Presence or Pulse - or -

Loop Selection for Relay B Pulse: Pulse on Loop B or Pulse on Loop A (used with dual loop in combined mode)
#8 Relay B Pulse Type: Entry or Exit (used only at pulse function)

 9 Adjustments
GREEN LED shows when the module is powered.

RED LED gives:

• The corresponding loop detection state in normal situation;
• The value of the oscillation frequency measurement or an error message on power ON.
Normally, the RED LED stays ON as long as the loop is in a state of detection.

On POWER ON, the sensor measures the oscillation frequency of each loop. The result of this measurement is displayed using the
corresponding RED LED. The number of flashes indicates the tens value of the frequency. For example 4 short flashes correspond to
a frequency between 40 kHz and 49 kHz. After this message the LED goes back to normal display. If the loop oscillation frequency falls
outside the limits (20 kHz to 130 kHz) the RED LED displays an error message and the sensor activates the corresponding relay. The
blinking frequency shows the type of error according to the next table. The sensor will stay in error mode until the error is cleared and the
frequency goes to the right range.

Remark: The sensor launches automatically a learning process if the oscillation frequency varies more than 10% in comparison with the
measurement value.

LOOP FREQUENCY ERROR LED DISPLAY

Oscillation frequency too LOW or loop opened LED blinking at 1Hz
Oscillation frequency too HIGH LED blinking faster at 2 Hz
Loop shorted or no oscillation LED blinking slower at 0.5 Hz
