Overview
What it is
TopScan is an AIR (active infrared) presence detector that works on the triangulation principle with pulsed 880 nm light. One, two or three optical units sit in a slim aluminium profile with a black polycarbonate front cover.
What it is used for
Its main task, according to Bircher, is to prevent contact between the moving door and people, animals or objects on automatic swing and revolving doors. It detects both stationary and moving objects and can also be used as an opening pulse generator.
Key features
- Detection area 100 to 2500 mm in stationary mode, 500 to 2500 mm in moving mode
- Scanning range set without tools by a mechanical adjustment wheel
- Response approx. 30 ms on detection
- Changeover relay rated 48 V AC/DC, 0.5 A AC / 1 A DC
- Profile lengths of 350 to 1000 mm in silver, black or white
Buying considerations
TopScan I has one optical unit, TopScan II two and TopScan III three; current draw rises from 110 mA to 330 mA accordingly. The TopScan documents do not claim EN 16005 certification; where a type-examined sensor is required, consider UniScan or SolidSense.
Installation considerations
Mounting height is 1.70 to 2.70 m. The test input works in stationary mode with DC supply only. Door loop sets route the cable to the moving leaf. Protection is suitable for IP54.
Compatibility
Supply 17 to 30 V DC or 18 to 28 V AC. The isolated changeover contact connects to safety or opening inputs on standard swing and revolving door operators.
