BEA 10RD900 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a BEA 900 MHz wireless door actuator signal get through Low-E glass on a storefront entrance?

Yes. The 10RD900 receiver runs on 908 to 918 MHz, and that band is chosen specifically because it penetrates low-emissivity glass, walls, partitions and doors, which is where 2.4 GHz wireless actuators typically fail on a glass front. Line of sight range is up to 500 feet, so a wall-mount push plate across a vestibule or on the far side of a Low-E lite still reaches the receiver at the operator.

2) What power supply does the BEA 10RD900 receiver need, and how much current does it draw?

The 10RD900 takes 12 to 24 VAC or VDC, so it runs off either the AC or DC accessory output on a typical automatic door operator without a separate supply. Draw is 40 mA. If you are also powering BEA 900 MHz transmitters from the same source, budget 30 mA for a TD900HHx or TD900PB, 22 mA for a TD900TR, and 13 mA for a TD900INDHHx.

3) Can the 10RD900 relay switch my door operator's activation input directly?

The receiver's dry contact is rated 1.0 A at 30 VDC, 0.5 A at 125 VAC, and 0.3 A at 60 VDC. That covers the low-current activation input on an automatic operator or the release input on an access control panel. It will not switch a motor, a maglock inrush, or anything above those ratings directly, so put a relay or the operator's own power stage in between for those loads.

4) What are the alternatives to a BEA 900 MHz receiver for touchless door activation?

ZenSupply carries a few wireless receivers for this job. The LCN 8310-865 and the Falcon 8310-865 are single channel receivers with a sequencing feature, aimed at the same touchless activation work but on the 8300/8310 platform rather than 900 MHz. The Locknetics WRT-K ships as a kit with the receiver plus two transmitters, which is the simpler buy if you need the whole opening in one box. The 10RD900 is the one to specify when you need many devices on one receiver (75) or when Low-E glass is in the signal path.

5) Does the 10RD900 come with transmitters, or do I order those separately?

The 10RD900 is the receiver module only, one item. The transmitters are ordered separately from the BEA 900 MHz family: TD900HHx and TD900INDHHx handheld units, TD900PB push button, and TD900TR. If you would rather buy the receiver and transmitters together in one package, the Locknetics WRT-K is sold as a receiver plus two transmitter kit.

6) What is the closest equivalent to the BEA 10RD900 receiver from another brand?

The LCN 8310-865 single channel wireless receiver is the nearest counterpart. Like the BEA 10RD900, it is a wireless receiver used to activate touchless access control at an automatic door, and it adds a sequencing feature for coordinating door operation. The BEA 10RD900 is a digital 900 MHz receiver module in the BEA 900 MHZ FAMILY, using frequency hopping across 908 to 918 MHz, running on 12 to 24 VAC/VDC, and reaching up to 500 feet line of sight with signal that carries through low-E glass, walls and partitions. A single 10RD900 will learn up to 75 transmitters, so on an opening where one receiver has to answer many wall plates, fobs and touchless actuators, the BEA unit is the one built for that count.

7) I need a wireless door release receiver and the transmitters together in one box - what should I buy instead of ordering a receiver alone?

Order the Locknetics WRT-K wireless release kit, which ships a receiver plus two transmitters as a set. The BEA 10RD900 is sold as the receiver module by itself, so the transmitters that pair with it are ordered separately - the 900 MHZ FAMILY includes handheld, push button, tri-fold and industrial NEMA 4 / IP65 transmitter styles that the 10RD900 learns. For a two-station retrofit where a property manager just wants a release button and a spare, the WRT-K kit covers it in one line item. For a job where the actuators are being chosen per opening, or where more than a couple of activation points will be added over time, the 10RD900 accepts up to 75 programmed units on the one receiver.

8) Is the Falcon 8310-865 receiver a drop-in replacement for a BEA 10RD900?

No. Both are wireless receivers for touchless door activation, but they are not interchangeable at the radio. The Falcon 8310-865 is a single channel receiver in the 8300 Series and pairs with its own matching transmitters. The BEA 10RD900 is a digital receiver in the BEA 900 MHZ FAMILY that hops across 908 to 918 MHz and learns BEA 900 MHz transmitters. Swapping the receiver alone leaves the existing wall plates and fobs unpaired - whichever brand of receiver goes in, the transmitters on that opening have to match it. What does carry over is the low voltage side: the 10RD900 runs on 12 to 24 VAC/VDC with a dry contact rated 1.0 A at 30 VDC, 0.5 A at 125 VAC and 0.3 A at 60 VDC, so it lands on the same style of operator input and power that an existing receiver was wired to.

9) How many wireless push plates and transmitters can one BEA 10RD900 receiver handle?

Up to 75 units can be programmed into a single 10RD900. For most openings that is far more than you need (an interior and exterior push plate is two), but it means one receiver can cover a bank of actuators, restroom entries, and handheld remotes across a wing without adding hardware at the operator.

10) Will two BEA 900 MHz receivers on adjacent doors interfere with each other?

No. The 10RD900 uses frequency hopping across the 908 to 918 MHz band, which is what keeps transmission consistent when other 900 MHz devices are operating nearby, including other BEA receivers on neighboring openings. Each transmitter is learned to a specific receiver, so a vestibule with an inner and outer door keeps its two activations separate.

11) How much space do I need inside the header to mount the BEA 10RD900?

The receiver module measures 2.5 in (W) x 0.75 in (H) x 2.0 in (D), small enough to sit inside a standard operator header alongside the control board. Leave clearance for the wiring leads and for sightline to the LEDs, since you read learn status and signal strength off them during setup.

12) What is the difference between delay and no-delay learn mode on the BEA 900 MHz receiver?

Both are programmed at the receiver. No-delay fires the relay the instant the transmitter is pressed, which is what you want on a single door. Delay mode holds the activation, which is how you sequence a vestibule or an interlock so the inner door does not start opening at the same moment as the outer. The 10RD900 also carries toggle/pulse extended hold, so the same receiver can latch a door open rather than only pulsing it.

13) Can the BEA 10RD900 be used in an unheated garage or exterior vestibule?

The 900 MHz system is rated 14 deg F to 131 deg F (-10 deg C to 55 deg C), which covers an unheated vestibule or loading area in most climates. The receiver module itself is an open board meant to be mounted inside an operator header or enclosure, not exposed. If the transmitter side is going outdoors or gets washed down, the TD900INDHHx is the one carrying a NEMA 4 / IP65 rating.

14) What do the LEDs on the BEA 10RD900 tell me during setup?

Three indicators, and they are how you commission the opening without a meter. Red shows receiver learn, so you know the module accepted the transmitter. Blue shows relay activation, confirming the contact actually closed when the plate was pressed. The tri-color LED reads signal strength, which is what you use to find a mounting spot before you fasten anything down, particularly on a Low-E glass front where the path matters.

15) The transmitter has to work through a storefront low-E glass wall - which receiver handles that?

The BEA 10RD900 is the one specified for it. Its 900 MHz digital radio is rated to work through low-emissivity glass, walls, partitions and doors, with up to 500 feet of line of sight range, which is the case a glass front installer runs into when the actuator is outside the vestibule and the receiver is behind coated glazing. The comparable single channel receivers - the Falcon 8310-865 and the LCN 8310-865 - are wireless receivers for the same touchless activation duty but are described by channel count and sequencing rather than by glass penetration. If the signal path on the opening crosses coated glass, that is the reason to spec the 10RD900.

16) I need the door to sequence with an auto operator and a lock release - can the BEA 10RD900 do that, or do I need a sequencing receiver?

The BEA 10RD900 handles sequencing at the receiver. It offers delay and no-delay learn modes, so a transmitter can be taught to fire instantly or on a delay to let an electric lock release before the operator swings the door, and it includes toggle/pulse extended hold for openings that need to stay held open. The output is a dry contact rated 1.0 A at 30 VDC, 0.5 A at 125 VAC and 0.3 A at 60 VDC. The Falcon 8310-865 and LCN 8310-865 single channel receivers also carry a sequencing feature, so on a job already standardized on the 8300 or 8310 series those are the in-family choice. On a BEA 900 MHz opening, the 10RD900 covers the sequence without adding a separate timer.

17) Is the BEA 10RD900 approved for commercial installation in the US and Canada?

The 900 MHz receiver is FCC Part 15 certified and carries both FCC and IC certification, IC being the Canadian counterpart. It is a commercial-rated device, not a residential product.
