Overview
What it is
DualSense S is the safety-only member of the Bircher DualSense family. It uses the same AIR (active infrared) presence module as DualSense D but has no radar, so it does not open the door. It detects people standing in its field and signals the door controller to stop or hold.
What it is used for
Bircher positions DualSense S for places where only presence protection is needed, for example the secondary closing edges of a sliding door where people could be caught as the leaves open. It meets the requirements of EN 16005 and DIN 18650 for safeguarding automatic sliding doors.
Key features
- AIR field up to 2.00 x 0.20 m from 2 rows of 12 spots, PLd, Cat. 2 to EN ISO 13849-1
- Adjustable field size, alignment, sensitivity and teach-in time
- Display with joystick, quick start menu and QR code link to documentation
- Test input with automatic recognition and a response under 10 ms
- Overlapping fields of neighbouring sensors separated by selectable frequency patterns
Buying considerations
DualSense S is usually ordered together with DualSense D on the same door: D at the main closing edge and S at the secondary edges. Housing, dimensions and colours match DualSense D, so a door looks uniform.
Installation considerations
Mount at 1.8 to 4.0 m; for EN 16005 and DIN 18650 compliance stay at or below 3.0 m. The housing is IP54, so shield exterior installations from rain. Keep the sensor away from fluorescent lamps and strong air currents.
Compatibility
Supply is 11.5 to 32 V DC from the door controller. The AIR output is a solid state relay (max. 34 V DC / 24 V AC, 40 mA). Rain cover, ceiling bracket and the IP65 ceiling integration set from the DualSense range fit this model.
