Microwave Radar Sensor for Automatic Door UAE

The Microwave Radar Sensor for Automatic Door is a motion detection sensor designed to automatically activate sliding doors, swing door openers and other compatible automatic entrance systems.

Operating from a 12–24V AC/DC power supply, the sensor detects movement approaching the entrance and sends an activation signal to the connected automatic door controller. It provides convenient hands-free door opening for commercial, residential and public entrances.

With adjustable detection sensitivity, a maximum detection area of approximately 4 × 2 metres and an installation height of approximately 3–4 metres, the microwave radar sensor can be configured for different automatic door installations.

Technical Specifications

How the Microwave Radar Sensor Works

The microwave radar sensor detects movement by transmitting microwave signals into its detection area and monitoring changes in the reflected signals.

When a person moves into the detection zone, the reflected signal changes. The sensor detects this movement and sends an activation signal to the compatible automatic door controller.

The door operator then opens the door according to its programmed operating settings.

Automatic Door Motion Sensor

The radar sensor provides hands-free activation for automatic entrances. Users do not need to press a push button, touch a switch or use a remote control to activate the door.

This makes microwave motion detection suitable for entrances with frequent pedestrian traffic.

Microwave Sensor for Automatic Sliding Doors

The microwave radar sensor can be installed above a compatible automatic sliding door entrance.

When an approaching person enters the configured detection area, the sensor provides an activation signal to the sliding door controller, allowing the doors to open automatically.

Microwave Sensor for Automatic Swing Doors

The sensor can also be integrated with compatible automatic swing door openers where radar motion activation is required.

The sensor output should be connected to the appropriate activation input of the automatic swing door controller according to the operator's wiring instructions.

12–24V AC/DC Operation

The microwave radar sensor operates from a 12–24V AC/DC power supply, making it compatible with many automatic door controllers that provide an accessory power output within this voltage range.

Always confirm the available accessory voltage and sensor wiring requirements before installation.

Adjustable Detection Area

The detection field can be adjusted according to the entrance layout and required activation area.

Correct adjustment helps the automatic door detect approaching pedestrians while reducing unnecessary activation caused by movement outside the intended entrance area.

Up to 4 × 2 m Detection Area

The sensor provides a maximum detection area of approximately 4 × 2 metres under the specified installation conditions.

Actual detection coverage depends on mounting height, installation angle, sensitivity adjustment and surrounding conditions.

3–4 m Installation Height

The microwave radar sensor is designed for installation at approximately 3 to 4 metres depending on the entrance and required detection field.

The sensor should be positioned and adjusted correctly to provide reliable pedestrian detection at the doorway.

Adjustable Installation Angle

The detection direction can be adjusted using installation angles of approximately 15°, 30°, 45° or 60°.

Angle adjustment allows the installer to configure the detection field according to the entrance depth and pedestrian approach direction.

Hands-Free Automatic Door Activation

Microwave radar detection provides convenient hands-free operation for automatic entrances.

This is particularly useful in locations with high pedestrian traffic or where convenient touch-free entrance activation is required.

Radar Sensor for Glass Automatic Doors

The sensor is suitable for compatible automatic glass entrance systems, including commercial sliding glass doors and automated swing doors.

Its compact installation above the doorway allows pedestrian movement to be detected before the user reaches the entrance.

Motion Activation vs Safety Detection

A microwave radar motion sensor is primarily used to activate the automatic door when movement is detected.

It should not automatically be treated as a complete door-presence or anti-closing safety sensor. Where the automatic door system requires presence protection, photocells, infrared safety sensors or another approved safety device should be installed according to the door operator requirements.
