BEA VIO-ST Active Infrared Presence Safety Sensor

VIO-ST Active Infrared Presence Safety Sensor – EN16005 Compliant

Sidescreen safety sensor or Threshold only safety. 

The VIO-ST Presence Sensor provides advanced pedestrian safety through a double failsafe active infrared curtain system, offering maximum protection from accidental door contact. Designed specifically to prevent pedestrian collisions with automatic doors, this sensor creates a comprehensive three-dimensional detection area without relying on traditional safety beams. Ideal for high-traffic environments, the VIO-ST ensures reliable performance and compliance with rigorous safety standards including EN16005 and EN ISO 13849-1.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Enhanced Pedestrian Safety:
  Utilises two curtains of 24 infrared detection spots each, ensuring failsafe protection compliant with EN16005 safety standards.

• Three-Dimensional Coverage:
  Infrared curtain technology creates a volumetric safety zone, preventing pedestrian contact with moving door leaves.

• Easy Configuration & Adjustment:
  DIP-switch settings allow quick, simple customisation. Curtain width adjustable through interchangeable prisms, offering configurations of either 12 or 24 spots.

• Robust Reliability & Immunity:
  Advanced infrared self-adaptive technology guarantees optimum performance even in challenging environmental conditions.

• Flexible Mounting Height:
  Suitable for installations between 1.8m and 3m, making it versatile for various doorway setups.
