Installation & Operation

  1. Verify electrical requirements match available power supply and confirm mounting height falls within the 8 to 16 feet specification range.
  2. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation. Follow all applicable electrical codes and safety procedures.
  3. Mount the unit at the specified height ensuring adequate clearance for detection pattern coverage and future service access.
  4. Route and connect wiring according to manufacturer wiring diagrams. Use appropriate wire gauge and outdoor-rated connections for industrial environments.
  5. Configure detection sensitivity and timing settings per application requirements using the integrated push button controls.
  6. Restore power and test both motion detection and presence sensing functions throughout the intended coverage area.
  7. Complete final inspection and document settings. Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete wiring diagrams, programming instructions, and troubleshooting.

BEA BEA-10IS40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How high can the BEA IS40 industrial sensor be mounted over a warehouse door?
The IS40 mounts anywhere from 96 to 192 inches, so 8 to 16 feet, which covers most warehouse and loading dock header heights. If your header sits lower than that, the IS40XL is the version built for it at 78 to 138 inches (6.5 to 11.5 feet). Mounting outside the stated range for the model you order is the most common reason a coverage pattern comes out wrong on these.
2) What area does the BEA IS40 sensor actually cover at the door?
Two patterns, because it runs two technologies. The microwave motion field reaches up to 156 x 198 inches, and the active infrared presence field covers up to 120 x 120 inches. The infrared is the safety field that holds the door open over someone standing still; the microwave is what triggers the open. On the XL version those shrink to 156 x 78 inches microwave and 90 x 90 inches infrared, so if you need the deeper approach field, order the standard IS40.
3) Will a BEA IS40 hold an automatic door open for someone standing still in the opening?
Yes, that is what the active infrared half does. Its minimum detection speed is 0 inches per second, meaning a motionless person in the field still registers. The microwave side needs 2 inches per second of movement to see anything, which is why a microwave-only sensor drops a standing person and this one does not. The red LED indicates the presence relay, green the activation relay.
4) Can the BEA IS40 sensor be washed down or used outdoors on a loading dock?
The enclosure is NEMA 4 / IP65, rated against wind-blown dust and hose-directed water, so a dock face or a wash-down bay is within spec. Operating range runs -22 to 140 degrees F, which is why it turns up on freezer and cold storage doors. Housing is ABS and polycarbonate.
5) What relay contacts does the BEA IS40 have, and will it drive my door operator?
Two relays, both free-of-potential change-over (dry Form C) contacts, one for activation and one for presence. They are rated 42 VAC/VDC max contact voltage, 1 A resistive, and 30 W DC or 48 VA AC switching power. That is signal-level switching into an operator's input terminals, not a load-switching relay, so do not run a motor, strike, or gate contactor directly off it. Dry contacts mean the sensor works with essentially any operator input that expects a normally-open or normally-closed dry signal.
6) Should I use a dual technology sensor like the IS40 or a plain microwave motion sensor on an industrial door?
Pick the dual technology unit when the door needs a safety hold-open, not just an open command. A microwave-only head triggers on movement and goes blind the moment a person stops, since it needs 2 inches per second to detect. The IS40 pairs 24.150 GHz microwave Doppler for the activation with 875 nm active infrared for presence, and the infrared sees a stationary target. On a high-traffic dock or a slow-moving forklift aisle that difference decides whether the door closes on something.
7) How much cable comes with the BEA IS40 and do I need a junction box at the header?
A 30 foot (360 inch) cable ships attached, which normally reaches from a header-mounted head down to an operator or control cabinet without splicing. Power draw is under 3.5 W at 50 to 60 Hz mains frequency, so wire gauge is rarely the constraint; run length and outdoor-rated terminations are what to plan for on an exterior dock.
8) Will the BEA IS40 fit in the space above my overhead door header?
The head measures 3.75 in (W) x 4 in (H) x 5 in (D). The 5 inch depth is the number that catches people, since it needs clearance behind or below the mounting surface, plus room to swing the tilt. Microwave tilt adjusts from -8 to 22 degrees and the infrared from 15 to 45 degrees, so leave service access to reach the adjustment.
9) How long does the BEA IS40 hold the door signal after someone passes through?
The microwave activation output holds from 0.5 to 9 seconds, adjustable, so you can tune out nuisance recycling on a busy dock or stretch the hold for slow traffic. The infrared presence output is fixed at 0.5 seconds, which is correct for a safety field, it needs to drop as soon as the opening clears. Both are set with the integrated push button controls on the unit.
10) What is the difference between ordering the BEA IS40 and the IS40XL?
Mounting height and pattern size, not technology. Order the IS40, model 10IS40, for headers 8 to 16 feet up, with a 156 x 198 inch microwave field and a 120 x 120 inch infrared field. The XL is the lower-mount variant, 6.5 to 11.5 feet, with a shallower 156 x 78 inch microwave field and a 90 x 90 inch infrared field. Measure the header height first, then the pattern follows from it.
11) Is the BEA IS40 a commercial grade sensor or is it meant for a storefront entrance?
This is the industrial spec unit, rated commercial, built for warehouse doors, loading docks, manufacturing entries, cold storage, and service bays. The IP65 sealing and -22 to 140 degrees F range are what separate it from a standard interior storefront header sensor, which is not built to take dust, hose spray, or freezer temperatures.
