LCN 8310-877 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the LCN 8310-877 a request-to-exit activation sensor or a safety sensor?
It's a safety sensor, not an activation device. The 8310-877 provides the safety function during both the door open and door closed positions, watching for a person or obstruction in the swing path so the operator holds off. If what you need is something to trigger the door, that's an activation sensor or actuator instead. For request-to-exit motion detection, the Dortronics 6612 Series PIR or the SDC MD-31D Series PIR are the products for that job, and the SDC 470 Series touchless IR sensors handle touchless activation.
2) How much room do I need in the header to mount the LCN 8310-877?
Plan on a 12 inch run of header. The sensor housing measures 12 (W) x 2 (H) x 2 (D) inches, so you need a flat 12 inch length on the header face with 2 inches of depth clearance. It mounts on the header rather than on the door leaf, which keeps it out of the way of traffic and carts.
3) Can I swap an SDC or Dortronics sensor in place of the LCN 8310-877?
Not for the same job. The SDC 460 Series is a capacitive touch switch in stainless steel and the SDC 470 Series is a touchless IR activation sensor, both of which trigger a door rather than guard its swing. Dortronics 6612 is a request-to-exit PIR with a 1 to 120 second adjustable time delay, again an activation and release device. The 8310-877 is the diffused infrared safety sensor that watches the opening while the door is moving and while it's closed. If you're replacing a header safety sensor, replace it with a safety sensor.
4) Can an SDC 470 touchless IR sensor be used in place of the LCN 8310-877 header mount safety sensor?
No - they do different jobs on the opening. The LCN 8310-877 provides a safety function during both the door open and door closed positions using diffused infrared, with nine selectable and programmable detection patterns, so it is what keeps an automatic operator from closing or opening onto someone standing in the swing path. The SDC 470 Series is a touchless IR sensor running on dual voltage 12/24VDC, which is an activation device - the user waves at it to call the door open. On a low energy operator you would typically need both: an activation input and a separate safety sensor. Substituting the 470 for the 8310-877 leaves the opening without the safety detection function.
5) Is the SDC MD-31D motion sensor an equivalent to the LCN 8310-877?
They are not equivalents. The SDC MD-31D Series is a request-to-exit PIR motion sensor with dual voltage auto-sensing, used to detect someone approaching the door from the secure side and signal release. The LCN 8310-877 is a diffused infrared safety sensor that mounts in the header and holds nine programmable detection patterns to protect the swing path in both the door open and door closed positions, and it ships with the 8310-846 harness for connection to the automatic operator. If your drawing calls for door swing safety on a low energy operator, the MD-31D does not fill that line item.
6) What do the nine detection patterns on the LCN 8310-877 actually do for me?
They let you shape the detection zone to the opening instead of accepting one fixed field. Nine selectable, programmable patterns means you can narrow or reshape coverage where a wall return, a side screen, or a cross-traffic path would otherwise cause nuisance holds, and widen it on a broad opening. You set the pattern with the handheld remote after mounting.
7) Does the LCN 8310-877 sensor meet ADA requirements for an automatic door?
The 8310-877 is listed as ADA compliant for commercial automatic door safety systems. That matters on low energy operators in healthcare, schools, and government buildings, where the safety sensor is part of how the opening meets accessibility requirements. It is a commercial-rated device, not a residential one.
8) Is the LCN 8310-877 meant to work with LCN automatic operators?
Yes. It's part of the LCN 8310 Series touchless actuator and sensor line built around LCN automatic door operators, and the included 8310-846 harness is what lands it into the operator. If you're specifying a full touchless entrance, the actuators and this safety sensor come from the same series, so you're not mixing wiring conventions across brands.
9) If I only need a way to activate the automatic door without touching it, what is a simpler option than the LCN 8310-877?
For pure activation, the SDC 470 Series touchless IR sensor with dual voltage 12/24VDC operation is the simpler device - the user passes a hand in front of it and the operator is signaled. The LCN 8310-877 is a programmable header mount safety sensor with nine selectable detection patterns that guards the swing during door open and door closed positions, and it also calls for the 8310-859 handheld remote for distance programming, so it carries setup the activation-only application does not need.
10) For a high-abuse entry where the sensor may get hit or vandalized, is there an alternative to the LCN 8310-877?
For the activation device on an abuse-prone entry, the SDC 460 Series capacitive touch sensor is built with vandal resistant stainless steel construction, which suits exposed wall or jamb locations. Note that it is a touch actuator, not a safety sensor - the LCN 8310-877 is the aluminum header mount infrared unit that provides the safety function during door open and door closed positions. Its 12 by 2 by 2 inch header mounting also keeps it up out of the traffic zone. On an abuse opening you would pair a rugged actuator with a header safety sensor rather than choose between them.
