BEA 10QUADSCANII, Quadscan II safety sensor
The BEA 10QUADSCANII QUADSCAN is a door-mounted active infrared presence sensor built for automatic pedestrian swing door safety. Instead of detecting vehicles or general motion at a gate, it creates defined active infrared spots along the moving door area so the automatic door controller can respond when the protected zone is occupied. This makes it a specialized automatic door safety component, not a general access-control sensor.
This item is the two-module QUADSCAN II version. The module count matters because it affects coverage along the face of the door and the way the sensor is applied to different door widths. On a service call, the technician should compare the existing label, number of modules, length, harness routing, and controller input before replacing it. A QUADSCAN I should not be casually swapped with a QUADSCAN II or a custom-length version just because the housings look similar.
QUADSCAN is most often used where an automatic pedestrian swing door requires safety-side and approach-side presence detection. Correct setup includes mounting height, door side selection, frequency settings, background reflectivity adjustment, and full functional testing after installation.
BEA’s QUADSCAN is a presence sensor designed for use on pedestrian automatic swinging doors.
The QUADSCAN can be mounted at heights ranging from 43 to 118 inches. At a 78 inch mounting height, four active infrared safety spots provide approximately 15 3/4 inches of safety protection per sensor.
The QUADSCAN output offers individual safety side and approach side relays.
Four DIP switches provide user friendly adjustment for door side, AIR frequency, background reflectivity and uncovered zone height.
Easy Setup And Install

Technician Note
Door-mounted automatic door sensors must be matched to the exact door configuration. On paired swing doors or wider doors, module count and sensor length can be just as important as the electrical connection.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm QUADSCAN I, II, IV, or custom-length requirement.
- Match the existing part number and number of modules.
- Verify mounting height and door width.
- Confirm safety-side and approach-side wiring to the controller.
- Test the automatic door through the full open and close cycle after installation.
Professional Advisory
Automatic pedestrian door safety sensors should be installed and adjusted by a qualified automatic door technician. Do not leave a door in service if the presence sensor is not detecting correctly or if the door closes into the protected area.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Do not use QUADSCAN as a driveway gate safety photo eye.
- Do not interchange QUADSCAN I and QUADSCAN II without checking coverage and door width.
Product Questions and Answers
It is a QUADSCAN active infrared presence sensor for automatic pedestrian swing door safety, with 2 sensor modules in the standard configuration.
Can this be used on a driveway gate?
No. QUADSCAN is designed for automatic pedestrian swing doors and select revolving door applications, not gate entrapment protection or vehicle detection.
What is the difference between QUADSCAN I and QUADSCAN II?
QUADSCAN I uses one module, while QUADSCAN II uses two modules. The correct choice depends on the door width, coverage requirement, and original sensor configuration.
Does mounting height matter?
Yes. The sensor must be installed within the supported mounting range and adjusted so the active infrared spots cover the required area near the moving door.
What should be checked after installing it?
Check sensor power, relay output, safety-side detection, approach-side detection, door movement, and compliance with the automatic door manufacturer instructions.
