SuperScan Presence Sensor

User Guide (Models: 10SSI, 10SSII, 10SSIII)


Overview

The SuperScan is a door-mounted presence detection system designed for automatic pedestrian swing doors. It works with both SMR (self-monitoring) and non-SMR systems.

Unlike traditional sensors, SuperScan modules are mounted near the top of the door for protection and durability.

Key Features

  • Modular design with master + slave modules
  • Adjustable detection range and angle
  • Infrared triangulation detection (not color-dependent)
  • Expandable coverage using additional modules
  • Independent module adjustment

How It Works

Each module includes:

  • Transmitter (TX): Emits a focused infrared beam (~4″ diameter at 8 ft)
  • Receiver (RX): Detects reflected beam from the floor

Detection is based on triangulation:

  • When the beam path is interrupted → detection occurs
  • Not affected by object color or background

Safety Precautions

  • Disconnect power before wiring
  • Keep work area safe and clear of pedestrians
  • Stop door traffic during testing
  • Ensure wiring does not interfere with moving parts
  • Follow ANSI A156.10 / A156.27 safety standards

Installation Overview

Mounting Guidelines

  • Secure firmly to prevent vibration
  • Avoid interference with door hardware
  • Keep detection area clear of moving objects

Mechanical Installation (Summary)

  1. Remove end cap and lens
  2. Remove circuit boards before drilling
  3. Drill mounting holes and wire passage
  4. Mount sensor to top of door
  5. Route wiring through door and header

Important:
Position the unit close to the leading edge without interference.

Configuration & Settings

Jumper Functions

J1 – Background Analysis

  • Enables environmental compensation
  • Prevents failure due to poor reflectivity
  • Recommended for difficult environments

J2 – Relay Mode

  • Active (default): energized at rest
  • Passive: de-energized at rest

J3 – SMR Mode

  • Installed: SMR OFF (default)
  • Removed: SMR ON

J4 – Module Configuration

  • Master-only or Master + Slave setup
  • Required for proper SMR operation

Detection Adjustment

Detection Zone Setup (Power-On)

  1. Power sensor (12–24V)
  2. Use an 8″×11″ test object (cardboard)
  3. Move object upward from floor
  4. Measure detection height

Recommended Settings

  • Detection height: 12″–16″ above floor
  • Must comply with ANSI standards (< 28″)

Adjustment Tips

  • Increase range → lowers dead zone
  • Decrease range → raises dead zone
  • 1 notch ≈ 4″ adjustment

Module Positioning

  • TX must face leading edge of door
  • Modules can be flipped for door handing
  • Each module can be angled independently

SMR Compatibility

  • SMR master cannot be used with non-SMR slaves
  • All modules must be SMR for full monitoring functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

No power / no LED

  • Check power supply (12–24V)
  • Verify wiring at terminals

Wrong relay behavior

  • Check J2 relay configuration

Door stops unexpectedly

  • Sensor detecting wall or object
  • Adjust angle or detection range

Constant detection

  • Sensor seeing floor or obstruction
  • Reduce detection range

Erratic behavior

  • Check wiring continuity
  • Inspect door transfer cable

Accessories

  • Isolation Relay (PN: 10REL24V)
  • Quick Disconnect Cable (PN: 10SSQD)
  • Interface Module (PN: 10BR3)

Compliance

  • Follow AAADM inspection guidelines
  • Perform daily safety checks
  • Annual inspection recommended
  • Ensure proper operation before use
