SUPERSCAN ACTIVE INFRARED PRESENCE BEAM
The SuperScan safety detector is a presence detection system that is primarily utilized on automatic pedestrian swing doors. B.E.A., Inc. has found ways that the SuperScan can be utilized on industrial doors.
The electronic components come housed in a narrow aluminum extrusion that measures 34.5" and can be altered to accommodate different door widths. The system comes complete for mounting to the door and includes a door loop, which encases the wiring from the door to the door jamb.
Detection zones can be varied in range by a potentiometer adjustment, and in width by adding or taking away slave modules from the master. These slave modules are simply added by inserting them into the aluminum extrusion then connecting them with the attached flat ribbon cable to the next module. This can be done without interrupting other modules in the same extrusion. Once installed, the zone (in addition to being adjustable for distance) can be angled independently from the other modules. This means that the zone can be directed closer or farther away from the face of the door.
Each SuperScan module consists of two optics, a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX), and functions independently of the other modules. The transmitter emits an extremely precise beam, which measures approximately 4" in diameter at a distance of 8'. The receiver in turn receives the infrared beam reflected off of the floor or other reflecting surface. This transmission and reception forms a detection angle, which is the basic premise of detection (called triangulation). Should this angle be interrupted, detection will occur. Detection is NOT based upon the intensity of the beam, and in principle will not be affected by the color of the object that interrupts the angle. Background color will not alter the performance of detection.
