Overview
What it is
PrimeMotion C is a 24.125 GHz microwave (radar) motion detector for opening automatic pedestrian doors. It is the basic version of the PrimeMotion range, adjusted with a single potentiometer for field size and without the DIP switch functions of PrimeMotion B.
What it is used for
Bircher describes PrimeMotion C as a simple activation sensor for automatic doors. Typical uses are sliding doors and wide telescopic sliding doors, where its field up to 4.8 m wide means one detector per side can cover the opening.
Key features
- Wide field from 1.6 x 0.8 m up to 4.8 x 2.3 m, or narrow field up to 2.3 x 4.8 m at 2.2 m
- Field pattern changed by rotating the radar module 90°, field size by potentiometer
- Tilting and swivelling radar module to aim the field
- Bidirectional solid state relay output with a fixed 1 s fall-delay
- Low consumption: max. 32 mA at 24 V DC, max. 1.3 W
Buying considerations
PrimeMotion C has no direction recognition or cross-traffic filter. Where unwanted openings from passing traffic matter, PrimeMotion B or Merkur 2 offer those functions. PrimeMotion C is an opening sensor only and does not protect the closing edges.
Installation considerations
Mount at 1.8 to 4 m above the door. The housing is suitable for IP54 use. Operate from a SELV (safety extra-low voltage) supply with safe electrical separation and earth the door drive and transom.
Compatibility
Supply 12 to 36 V DC or 12 to 28 V AC. The relay output switches up to 48 V AC/DC, 120 mA and 550 mW, suitable for standard door controller activation inputs. Bircher also states FCC Part 15 compliance.
Features
In use
Bircher describes PrimeMotion C as a simple activation sensor for automatic doors. Typical uses are sliding doors and wide telescopic sliding doors, where its field up to 4.8 m wide means one detector per side can cover the opening.

Questions about this product
What is the difference between PrimeMotion B and C?
PrimeMotion B adds DIP switch functions such as direction recognition, cross-traffic optimisation, interference filter and NO/NC output selection. PrimeMotion C is set only by potentiometer.
How wide a door can PrimeMotion C cover?
Its wide field reaches up to 4.8 m at 2.2 m mounting height, so Bircher states one detector per side is sufficient even for wide doors.
