MS Sedco DH100-CT – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the MS Sedco DH100-CT work on an automatic swing door?
No. The DH100-CT is built for automatic sliding and folding pedestrian doors. It mounts overhead and projects its detection pattern straight down onto the floor in front of the opening, which is the geometry a slider or a bi-fold needs. A swing door sweeps a leaf through that same area, so it takes a sensor package made for swing operators with door-mounted safety sensing. For a sliding or folding entrance, the DH100-CT covers both the activation side and the presence side in one unit.
2) Do I still need a separate presence safety sensor if I install a DH100-CT on a sliding door?
One DH100-CT does both jobs. It carries a 2-row motion field that activates the operator as someone approaches, plus a 3-row presence field that holds close-range safety coverage at the door, so there is no second presence unit to buy or find header space for. That is 5 rows in total at full depth, and the motion and presence zones tilt independently, so each half can be aimed at what it is actually watching rather than compromised into one setting.
3) The automatic door opens onto a corridor and people walking past keep triggering it. Can the DH100-CT detection field be pulled back?
Yes, and it is done electronically rather than by masking the lens. Detection depth adjusts from 5 rows down to 2, which shortens the approach field and takes cross traffic out of it. The motion and presence zones tilt separately, so you can shorten the activation side and still keep the dense close-in presence coverage at the threshold where the safety requirement lives. At full depth the motion field reaches 9.84 feet (3 m) from the door, so there is a lot of range to give back.
4) Does the MS Sedco DH100-CT meet ANSI A156.10 for automatic pedestrian doors?
The DH100-CT detection pattern meets and exceeds ANSI A156.10 guidelines. What gets it there is density: the sensor lays down up to 48 individual detection points in a rectangular pattern reflected off the floor, covering both the approach and the close-in area at the door. It is a commercial grade device intended for pedestrian automatic entrances, which is the application A156.10 governs.
5) Can I use a request-to-exit motion sensor like the Securitron XMS or the Bosch DS160 in place of a DH100-CT?
Different device, different job. The Securitron XMS and the Bosch DS160 are request-to-exit detectors: they tell an access control system to release an electric lock when someone approaches a secured door from the inside. The DH100-CT activates an automatic sliding or folding door operator and provides the presence safety coverage at the door. If you are dropping a mag lock on a swinging door, a REX sensor is the right part, and ZenSupply carries the Alarm Controls SREX-100, the Camden CM-RQE70 and the Detex MN01 alongside those two. If you are operating and protecting an automatic slider, none of them will do it.
6) Can a Securitron XMS or Bosch DS160 be used as the activation sensor on an automatic sliding door?
No. The Securitron XMS is a request to exit motion sensor and the Bosch DS160 is a PIR request to exit detector with sounder; both are built for the egress side of a locked swinging door, where the job is to signal a locking device to release as someone approaches. The MS Sedco DH100-CT is a combination 2-row motion and 3-row presence sensor for automatic sliding and folding doors, projecting up to 48 detection points off the floor in a rectangular pattern that meets and exceeds ANSI A156.10 guidelines. An automatic pedestrian door needs the activation signal that opens the leaf and the dense close-range presence zone that keeps it from closing on someone standing in the threshold, and the DH100-CT covers both in one device.
7) The opening is a locked swing door with a maglock that needs hands-free egress, not an automatic door. What sensor covers that?
That is request to exit territory, and there are several devices scoped to it. The Securitron XMS is a request to exit motion sensor, the Alarm Controls SREX-100 is an infrared motion sensor for request to exit with adjustable time delay, the Camden CM-RQE70 series is an adjustable infrared request to exit motion sensor running 12 to 24V with a white or black housing, and the Locknetics EMS-100 is an exit motion sensor supplied with ceiling and surface mount adapters. The MS Sedco DH100-CT is built for a different opening entirely: it is an activation and presence sensor for automatic sliding and folding doors, using Floor Reflection Method active infrared to project a detection pattern onto the floor at the door.
8) The Detex MN01 is a passive infrared motion sensor. Is that the same kind of detection the DH100-CT does?
No, the two work on different principles. The Detex MN01 and MN02 series are passive infrared motion sensors with dual-pyroelectric detection, which senses the infrared signature of a body moving through the field. The MS Sedco DH100-CT uses Floor Reflection Method active infrared, emitting beams that reflect off the floor across up to 48 individual detection points arranged in a rectangular pattern, with motion detection reaching 9.84 feet (3 m) from the door and a dense close-range presence zone behind it. The practical consequence is what happens when a person stops moving: an active infrared floor-reflection presence zone is what holds an automatic door open for someone standing still in the opening, which is why the DH100-CT pattern is built to meet and exceed ANSI A156.10.
9) What is the difference between the DH100-CT active infrared sensor and a passive infrared motion sensor?
The DH100-CT uses Floor Reflection Method active infrared. It projects up to 48 infrared spots down onto the floor and reads the reflections coming back, so it registers a person standing still in the doorway, not only a person moving through it. Passive infrared units read heat moving across their field and go quiet once the person stops, which is fine for triggering a lock release. The Detex MN01 with dual-pyroelectric detection and the Bosch DS160 PIR are both that passive type. Holding a door open for someone stopped in the opening is why the safety half of an automatic door package has to be active infrared.
10) We run sliding entrances and one folding door. Can we standardize on a single sensor across all of them?
Yes. The DH100-CT is specified for automatic sliding and folding pedestrian doors, so the same model covers both door types and you carry one part number on the shelf. Openings that differ in approach geometry get sorted out at install rather than at the order: depth sets from 5 rows down to 2, and the motion and presence zones tilt separately. It is a commercial grade unit, used on office, healthcare, retail, education, hospitality and municipal entrances.
11) I need an audible alert at the door when someone triggers the sensor. Which one has that built in?
The Bosch DS160 is a PIR request to exit detector supplied with a sounder, so the annunciation is integral to the detector rather than a separate device on the wall. The Bosch DS150i series covers request to exit detection as well. Both are egress-release detectors for locked doors, which is a different application from the MS Sedco DH100-CT; the DH100-CT is a combination motion and presence sensor whose output drives an automatic sliding or folding door operator and holds the opening safe while someone is in it.
12) Is there a version of this sensor that mounts on the ceiling instead of on the door header?
For an interior overhead position, the Locknetics EMS-100 exit motion sensor is supplied with both ceiling and surface mount adapters. The MS Sedco DH100-CT is aimed rather than repositioned: it can be mounted up to 9.8 ft (3 m) high and carries electronic depth adjustment from 5 to 2 rows plus independent tilt settings for the motion zone and the presence zone, so the 48-point pattern can be brought onto the correct patch of floor in front of the door from a range of header heights. Note that the EMS-100 is an exit motion sensor for a locked door and the DH100-CT is an activation and presence sensor for an automatic sliding or folding door, so the mounting choice follows the application, not the other way around.
13) What options do I have to specify when ordering the MS Sedco DH100-CT?
Just the model. DH100-CT is a single configuration with no finish, range or pattern variants to choose between, so there is nothing to get wrong on the purchase order. All the setup is electronic and happens at the door: detection depth from 5 rows down to 2, and independent tilt for the motion field and the presence field.
14) Which of these sensors comes in a black housing and runs on a 12 or 24 volt supply?
The Camden CM-RQE70 series request to exit motion sensors are adjustable infrared units offered at 12 to 24V with a white or black housing, which is the one to specify when the sensor sits in view on a dark frame or a dark ceiling on the secure side of a locked door. It is a request to exit device, so it belongs on a swinging door with an electric lock rather than on an automatic sliding or folding door, where the MS Sedco DH100-CT handles activation and presence together.
15) What separates the Bosch DS150i from the Bosch DS160?
Both are Bosch request to exit detectors for the secure side of a locked door. The DS160 is a PIR request to exit detector supplied with a sounder, so audible annunciation at the door is part of the unit; the DS150i is a request to exit detector series without that sounder called out. If the specification asks for an exit alert at the opening, the DS160 is the one that carries it.
