Overview
What it is
DualSense D is an overhead sensor for automatic sliding doors that combines two technologies in one housing. A 24.2 GHz radar module detects people approaching and opens the door, and an AIR (active infrared) module watches the closing area and holds the door while someone is in it.
What it is used for
Bircher designs DualSense D for activating and safeguarding interior and exterior sliding doors in line with EN 16005 and DIN 18650. It is also intended for sliding doors on escape and rescue routes, where the radar must report through a monitored output.
Key features
- AIR safety field up to 2.00 x 0.20 m made of 2 rows of 12 spots, rated PLd, Cat. 2 to EN ISO 13849-1
- Wide radar field up to 4.00 x 2.00 m or narrow field up to 2.00 x 4.00 m
- Radar frequency output (100 Hz pulse) and voltage output for escape route door systems
- Display with joystick, guided quick start menu and QR code access to online documentation
- Cross-traffic suppression and direction detection to cut unwanted openings
Buying considerations
Choose DualSense D for the main closing edge, where both opening and protection are needed. Where only the secondary closing edges need protection, the AIR-only DualSense S is the matching model. Three housing colours are available: black, white and silver.
Installation considerations
Mounting height is 1.8 to 4.0 m, but compliance with EN 16005 and DIN 18650 applies only up to 3.0 m. The housing is IP54, so Bircher recommends a rain cover, canopy or lintel position for exposed facades. The sensor needs 11.5 to 32 V DC from the door controller.
Compatibility
Outputs are solid state relays (max. 34 V DC / 24 V AC, 40 mA) with an automatically recognised test input, suitable for door controllers that monitor their safety sensors. Ceiling bracket, rain cover and the IP65 ceiling integration set are optional accessories.

Questions about this product
What is the difference between DualSense D and DualSense S?
DualSense D has both a radar module for opening the door and an AIR module for safety. DualSense S has only the AIR module and is used to protect secondary closing edges.
Can DualSense D be used on an escape route door?
Yes. Bircher states it is suitable for escape and rescue routes and provides a radar frequency output and a radar voltage output for this purpose.
What mounting height is allowed?
1.8 to 4.0 m. For compliance with EN 16005 and DIN 18650 the sensor must be mounted no higher than 3.0 m.
