Overview
What it is
UniScan is an AIR (active infrared) presence detector built into a slim aluminium profile that mounts on the door leaf. It uses the triangulation principle with 880 nm infrared light. Each optical unit, called a US beam, projects 8 beams that can be switched individually.
What it is used for
Bircher designs UniScan to protect people at automatic swing doors and revolving doors. On a swing door it monitors the main and secondary closing edges on both sides of the leaf, and its dense field is aimed at small children and people with impaired mobility.
Key features
- EC type certificate to EN 16005, DIN 18650-1 and EN 12978; PLd to EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL2 to EN 61508
- Fully automatic teach-in at the press of a key, including mounting height detection
- Detection zone of 471 x 60 mm per US beam at 2.2 m, response under 50 ms
- Power saving mode with 5 of 8 beams active as the factory setting
- Changeover relay output, 40 V DC / 40 V AC, 1 A, with 0 to 10 s hold time
Buying considerations
Choose the version by door leaf width: UniScan I (one US beam, 350 mm) or UniScan II (two US beams) in 750, 900 or 1100 mm, or a door set of two UniScan II units for both sides of the leaf. Profiles come in silver, black or white.
Installation considerations
Mounting height is 1.7 to 3.0 m depending on the background. Up to 4 sensors can be linked on DC supply only. The door loop sets carry the cable from frame to leaf. Protection class is IP54.
Compatibility
Supply 15 to 37 V DC or 15 to 26 V AC (AC only for a single device). The test input supports high or low active and pull up or pull down wiring, so it adapts to most monitored door operators. The RegloBeam 2 remote control can change parameters.
