Radar movement detector for industrial doors

The Herkules 2E microwave motion detector from BBC Bircher Smart Access has been specifically developed for use with industrial doors. It detects, differentiates between or masks out people or vehicles. Herkules 2E is a logical further refinement of our successful microwave detectors that are
also used for automatic doors. Our long experience, combined with progressive planar technology, gives Herkules 2E a considerable range of functions and reliability.

New functions Herkules 2E: 

• Two completely independent programmable outputs
• Extra setting when leaving the door: pulse output

Statically running objects like forklifts and other internal means of transport are detected with the help of a motion radar. The Bircher Reglomat Herkules 2 is an efficient radar that is used for opening automatic doors. The biggest benefit of this radar is that it only detects moving objects.

Features Herkules 2E 

• Quick and easy installation: bi-directional remote control and user-friendly settings
• Two completely independent programmable outputs
• 10 m long cable for maximum installation flexibility
• Mounting height range of 2 to 7 m covered by one sensor (no need for multiple sensors at different heights)
• Differentiation between pedestrian and/or vehicle traffic
• Detects traffic moving toward and away from the door
• Cross-traffic optimisation prevents unwanted opening
• Operating temperature range of –30°C to +60°C is ideal for cold storage applications
• Ideal substitute for in-ground loops

Activation of sectional gates	Use on roller gate or high-speed door in logistic areas	Activation of sliding gates for people and vehicles	Delivery at folding door with truck
Solution	Solution	Solution	Solution
Optimum traffic flow thanks to reliable activation of the industrial door controller	Early-stage opening simply by selecting one of five possible field sizes and rapid detection of people/vehicles	Detection of people/vehicles with seperate outputs for intelligent activation	Also ideal for use on wide and tall industrial doors
Advantages	Advantages	Advantages	Advantages
Direction recognition means the industrial door only remains open for as long as necessary Crossing traffic masking to prevent unintentional opening of the industrial door	Optimum goods flow thanks to early-stage detection and immediate opening Even low and wide industrial doors profit from the flexible settings for ideal activation	With people detection the industrial door will only open part way.	Reliable detection due to flexible adjustments to the microwave field No need for the driver to get out of the vehicle Optimum traffic flow thanks to early-stage detection and immediate opening
