EMX 5416-2 RAVEN Programming Remote Compatibility and Functions
The EMX 5416-2 is the handheld programming remote for the EMX RAVEN overhead microwave motion sensor. Also referenced as RAVEN-RC and RAVEN-REMOTE, this service accessory allows an installer or technician to configure supported RAVEN operating parameters from ground level instead of repeatedly reaching the overhead sensor and using its built-in FUNCTION and SETTING buttons.
The remote is especially useful on industrial doors and gate applications where the RAVEN may be installed 8 to 23 ft above the floor or roadway. It provides direct access to sensor adjustments, current-setting checks, security functions, factory reset, and selected maintenance functions.
What the 5416-2 RAVEN Remote Does
The 5416-2 communicates with a compatible EMX RAVEN sensor and provides access to most of the sensor's programmable operating parameters. The technician can enter programming mode, choose a function, enter or adjust the desired setting, verify the current setting, and exit programming without opening or reaching the sensor housing.

Compatibility warning: The 5416-2 should not be treated as a universal microwave sensor remote. EMX offers different programming accessories for different sensor families. For example, the EMX OWL uses its own programming remote, commonly listed as part 5418-2. Confirm the exact sensor model before ordering.

RAVEN Settings Available From the Remote
The RAVEN uses several programmable functions to establish its detection area and determine how the two relay outputs respond to people and vehicles. The 5416-2 remote provides convenient access to these functions.
- SENS - Sensitivity: Adjusts the overall detection area.
- CAR - Vehicle Detection: Adjusts vehicle-detection characteristics.
- PER - Human Detection: Adjusts pedestrian detection and cross-traffic behavior.
- OCAR - Vehicle Detection Relay: Determines direction and whether the vehicle relay responds to vehicles only or selected person/vehicle movement.
- OPER - Human Detection Relay: Configures the traffic type and direction that activates the second relay.
- TIME - Relay Hold Time: Adjusts how long a relay remains active after detection.
- OUT - Relay Contact: Selects Normally Open or Normally Closed operation.
- STEP - Responsiveness: Selects Fast, Normal, or Slow response behavior.
Relay Hold Time Programming
The RAVEN provides multiple relay hold-time settings that can be selected with the programming remote. Manufacturer documentation lists settings ranging from 0.5 second through 300 seconds.
Relay timing should be selected according to the connected door or gate controller and the intended activation function. Excessive hold time can cause undesirable operator behavior, so the completed system should always be function-tested after adjustment.
Check Existing Settings From the Remote
The 5416-2 can be used to check the current value of supported functions without changing them. After entering programming mode, the technician selects the desired function and uses the question function to request the current setting. This can be useful during troubleshooting when the existing setup needs to be documented before making changes.
Four-Digit Programming Security Code
The RAVEN supports a four-digit remote-programming security code. Once security is enabled, the sensor can require the code before accepting remote programming commands.
The remote can also be used to change or clear the security code. EMX additionally provides a programming-lock function that can restrict remote access so the sensor can only be programmed within approximately 60 seconds after power is applied.
Service note: EMX states that no security code is required to unlock the RAVEN for approximately 30 minutes after a power reset. Follow current manufacturer instructions when servicing a protected installation.
Remote-Only Maintenance Functions
The RAVEN documentation identifies functions that are available through the remote and are not part of the normal front-button parameter sequence.
- Factory setting reset
- Automatic normal relay operation
- Vehicle and human relays permanently active
- Vehicle relay permanently active
- Human relay permanently active
- Vehicle and human relays permanently inactive
The permanent relay functions are intended to assist with door maintenance and service. Return the sensor to automatic operation after service and fully test the door or gate before returning the system to normal use.
Important Device Address Limitation
The RAVEN can be assigned device addresses from 1 through 15 when multiple sensors are installed in close proximity. EMX specifically states that the device address cannot be changed with the remote control.
If the installation requires changing the RAVEN device address, use the controls on the sensor according to the current RAVEN installation manual.

Do Not Confuse With the EMX OWL Remote
The EMX RAVEN and EMX OWL are separate sensor products. Current distributor listings identify part 5416-2 as the RAVEN remote and part 5418-2 as the OWL remote.
Do not substitute the OWL remote for the RAVEN remote solely because both products are EMX sensor programming accessories. Match the remote to the exact sensor model.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the installed sensor is an EMX RAVEN.
- Look for RAVEN or related part number 5415-2 on the sensor or documentation.
- Confirm the required programming accessory is EMX 5416-2.
- Cross-reference RAVEN-RC or RAVEN-REMOTE if those identifiers appear in older records.
- Do not order the 5418-2 OWL remote as a substitute without confirmed compatibility.
- If replacing a lost remote on a security-protected RAVEN, determine whether the existing programming code is known.
- Verify the battery requirement from the current product/package before ordering replacement batteries.
Technician Note
The remote can save considerable setup time on a RAVEN mounted high above an industrial door or gate lane, but programming changes should be made one parameter at a time and tested with representative pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Detection accuracy depends on installation height, sensor angle, sensitivity, vehicle settings, human-detection settings, and responsiveness.
Record the original settings before changing the sensor so the previous configuration can be restored if needed.
Safety and Service Advisory
The RAVEN can be used to activate automatic doors and industrial gates, so programming changes can affect how the controlled equipment responds to approaching vehicles and pedestrians. After any adjustment, test the complete detection zone and operator response according to the EMX sensor instructions and the door or gate operator manufacturer requirements.
Do not use the remote to permanently disable a detection relay as a way to bypass a required safety function. Required monitored photo eyes, safety edges, entrapment protection, pedestrian protection, and other safety devices must remain installed and operational. If the correct sensor settings or operator functions are unclear, use a qualified automatic-door or gate technician.
