Reflex 2

The Reflex 2 is a microwave motion detector for virtually any type of automatic door — swing doors, revolving doors, and more. Its SMD+ radar field detects even the smallest movements for a smooth, uninterrupted flow of people. With optional direction recognition and cross traffic masking, the Reflex 2 avoids unnecessary door openings, saving energy and reducing wear. An electronically adjustable dual field planar module and pre-programmed comfort settings make commissioning fast, and the detector suits indoor and outdoor installations at heights up to 4 m.

Direction recognitionCross traffic masking

Key Features

  • SMD+ homogeneous radar field detects even the smallest movements for reliable people flow.
  • Optional direction recognition — door opens only when movement is directed toward it.
  • Cross traffic masking prevents the door panel from triggering unintentional reversal.
  • Electronically adjustable wide or narrow detection field via remote control or on-device buttons.
  • Pre-programmed comfort settings significantly reduce commissioning time.
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use at mounting heights up to 4 m.
  • Versatile design compatible with virtually every automatic door type.
  • Energy-saving operation by avoiding involuntary door openings.

Best Fit Applications

  • Automatic swing doors in commercial buildings, retail, and hospitality environments.
  • Revolving door activation where smooth, continuous people flow is essential.
  • Entrances where cross traffic from parallel foot traffic risks false triggers.
  • Energy-conscious installations where direction recognition reduces unnecessary openings.
  • Indoor and outdoor access points requiring fast, reliable commissioning.

The Reflex 2 is an all-rounder by design — its broad compatibility with door types and environments makes it a practical first choice for almost any automatic door installation.

Detection Functions

Function Description
SMD+ radar field Homogeneous detection field that captures the smallest movements for smooth, uninterrupted people flow
Direction recognition Optional feature that ensures the door opens only when movement is directed toward the entry or exit
Cross traffic masking Prevents the door panel itself and parallel passing traffic from triggering unintentional door reversal
Adjustable dual field Wide or narrow detection field selected electronically via remote control or buttons on the detector
Pre-programmed settings Comfort defaults reduce on-site setup time while allowing full field customisation where required

Installation Notes

  • Mounting height up to 4 m — select the position that best covers the door opening and approach path.
  • Use the remote control or on-device buttons to select wide or narrow field and adjust sensitivity during commissioning.
  • Enable cross traffic masking wherever parallel foot traffic risks triggering the door unintentionally.
  • Pre-programmed comfort settings provide a reliable starting point; fine-tune field geometry on site as needed.

Refer to the operating guide for full wiring diagrams, mounting dimensions, remote control sequences, and detection field adjustment procedures.

Typical Door Types

  • Automatic swing doors in commercial, retail, and hospitality buildings.
  • Revolving doors at building entrances with high pedestrian throughput.
  • Sliding doors in environments where direction recognition improves energy efficiency.
  • Any automatic door type where broad detector compatibility is required.
