Overview
What it is
Merkur 2 is a microwave (radar) motion detector with an electronically switched dual field planar module at 24.125 GHz. The ES and ES.C versions add direction recognition, so the door opens only for people approaching or leaving and closes again straight after.
What it is used for
Bircher describes Merkur 2 as usable on almost any automatic door, inside or outside. Brochure examples cover sliding doors on pavements, revolving doors (with a semicircular adapter), swing doors in tight spaces and homes for elderly and disabled people.
Key features
- Wide field up to 4.7 x 1.7 m or narrow field up to 2.7 x 1.9 m at 2.2 m, switched electronically
- SMD+ (slow motion detection) field that reacts to movement below 5 cm/s
- Direction recognition that can be switched off, plus cross-traffic suppression
- Setup by push buttons on the sensor or by the RegloBeam 2 remote control
- Potential-free changeover relay rated 48 V AC/DC, 0.5 A AC / 1 A DC
Buying considerations
The two versions differ only in connection: Merkur 2 ES has a plug-in screw terminal, Merkur 2 ES.C has an RJ12 socket. Pick the one that matches the door controller cable. The remote control is ordered separately.
Installation considerations
Maximum mounting height is 4 m, with a high mounting height setting for 3 to 4 m. The housing is IP54. Accessories include the MIS ceiling installation kit, MCAP rain and snow cover and MCL semicircular adapters for revolving doors of 2.0 to 6.0 m diameter.
Compatibility
Supply 12 to 36 V DC or 12 to 28 V AC, about 50 mA at 24 V DC. The changeover contact connects to standard activation inputs on door operators.
