LZR® -Widescan - Motion, Presence & Surveillance Sensor Operating with Laser Technology for Industrial Doors

Written by GfA UK | 24-Apr-2024 07:45:00

The LZR® -Widescan sensor uses laser technology based on time of flight analysis.  More than just a sensor, the Widescan optimises the doors performance whilst also increasing the protection of the door. 

 
7 Key Points you need to know about the BEA LZR® -Widescan:

  1. Independent customisable activation and presence fields can be programmed to specific dimensions and requirements within the permissible range of the sensor. The sensor should be mounted as high as possible - the area of the maximum detection field depends on the mounting height (ratio = 1 x 1 x 1).  By generating 7 tilted laser curtains, the sensor creates a volumetric area in front of the door, providing an area of surveillance.

  2. Employs laser technology for accurate mapping of activation areas (motion and presence).

  3. The sensor can be set up to detect vehicles and pedestrians more accurately, determining their size, direction, and speed. This helps to optimise the doors performance, reducing unnecessary usage.

  4. The easy-to-use BEA Widescan app allows Bluetooth sensor set-up. During set-up and for general use, the app will display illustrations of the activation and presence fields on your mobile device allowing unique customisation for your specific site needs.

  5. Includes functionality to fit up to 3 Virtual Pull Cords - an alternative to mechanical pull cords that avoids the many touch points you may find in industrial facilities.

  6. With the same areas of functionality as the Condor Sensor, the laser technology of the LZR® -Widescan offers improved effectiveness during adverse weather conditions, including rain, snow and fog. It also offers a number of improvements and additional functionality, including an enhanced version of the cross-traffic filtering, available with other BEA sensors.

  7. The sensors can be used both internally and externally, providing versatility for industrial settings.

 

There's so much more to the LZR® - Widescan...

In the coming months we will be exploring further the unique functionalities of the LZR® - Widescan, demonstrating the benefits of its technology and how it can problem solve and add value in real life applications.

Features:

  • Volumetric Coverage: A matrix of 64 pixels in front of the doors enables accurate distance measurement, offering calculation of object dimensions and trajectory

 

  • Door Protection: Detects approaching or parked vehicles in order to prevent contact with door

 

  • Energy Savings: Reduces time-lag and guarantees earlier closing of the door 

 

  • Independent Of Floor And Environment: Offers a high level of independence when confronted with adverse weather conditions
