BEA BEA-10IS40P – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What mounting height does the BEA IS40P presence sensor need, and how big is the detection zone?
The IS40P mounts between 8 and 16 feet (96 in to 192 in). At the maximum 16 ft height the detection zone is about 10 ft wide by 10 ft deep, so if you need to cover a wider drive lane or dock approach you'll either lower the mount or use more than one head. Tilt adjustment runs 15 to 45 degrees to aim the field where you need it.
2) Can the BEA IS40P be mounted outdoors at a loading dock or vehicle gate?
Yes. The enclosure is IP65 rated against dust, rain, and hose-directed water, the housing is ABS and polycarbonate, and the operating range is -22 to 140 degrees F with 0 to 95% non-condensing humidity. That covers exterior dock doors, gate and barrier posts, and wash-down adjacent areas. It is a commercial/industrial device, not a residential doorway sensor.
3) What power supply does the IS40P sensor require?
12 to 24 VAC (+/-10%) or 12 to 24 VDC (+10% / -3%), 50-60 Hz, drawing under 3.5 W. It does not run on line voltage, so plan on the door operator's low-voltage accessory supply or a dedicated transformer. Confirm the supply has the headroom before you terminate.
4) Can I wire the IS40P directly to my door operator's safety input, and what are the relay ratings?
The sensor provides two dry (potential-free) changeover relay contacts, so it wires into most operator safety or presence inputs without an interposing module. Contact limits are 42 VAC/VDC max, 1 A resistive, and 30 W DC / 48 VA AC switching power. Anything drawing more than that, a motor or a line-voltage load, needs an interposing relay.
5) What is virtual loop on the BEA IS40P, and can it replace an in-ground inductive loop?
Virtual loop means the sensor holds presence over a defined ground area the way a buried inductive loop does, but from an overhead mount. It detects at 0 in/s minimum speed, so a vehicle or person standing still stays detected rather than dropping out. That is the point of using it on a gate or barrier: no saw-cutting the drive, no loop failures from pavement movement. Reaction time is 250 ms with a 0.5 second output hold.
6) Is the IS40P a motion sensor or a presence sensor, and which do I need for an industrial door?
It is a presence sensor using 40 active infrared spots, not a motion detector. A motion sensor only triggers on movement and lets the door close on anything that stops in the opening; the IS40P holds the output as long as something is in the field, which is what a high-speed or industrial door needs for safety in the door path. For activation on approach you would still add a separate activation sensor.
7) How do I tell on site whether the IS40P is detecting?
Two LEDs on the unit give you setup feedback: red indicates the presence relay is active, green is the status indicator. Aim and tilt the head, walk or drive the zone, and watch the red LED to confirm the field lands where you want it before you close everything up.
8) Is the infrared beam on the IS40P safe for people walking under it?
The emitter runs at 875 nm wavelength with transmitter power density under 250 mW/m2. It is a low-power active infrared source used for detection only, with no moving or radioactive elements, and it detects people and vehicles passing beneath the head continuously in industrial traffic.
9) Where do I find the wiring diagram and programming instructions for the IS40P?
BEA publishes both an architectural specification brochure and a full technical specification sheet for the IS40P, and the model appears in the BEA product catalog. Those carry the wiring diagrams, detection field drawings, and configuration steps for the virtual loop and detection settings. The sensor orders as model 10IS40P.
