Microwave Motion & AIR Presence Detector for Industrial Doors
Smart Detection. Maximum Efficiency. Future-Ready Performance.
The Bircher Helios 2T is an advanced combined motion and presence detector engineered for industrial door automation, delivering precision detection, improved safety, and significant energy savings.
Designed for modern industrial environments, Helios 2T integrates microwave motion detection with a double-row active infrared (AIR) curtain, ensuring reliable detection of both vehicles and pedestrians. With flexible installation up to 6 metres and seamless mobile app configuration, it provides a future-proof solution for high-traffic facilities.
Key Benefits
Accurate Detection for People & Vehicles
Helios 2T intelligently differentiates between pedestrians and vehicles within its detection field. Its wide microwave range enables fast door activation, while the AIR curtain ensures precise presence detection near the door.
Reduced Energy Consumption
- Minimise unnecessary door openings with intelligent features such as:
- Cross traffic masking
- Direction recognition
- Object recognition
These functions reduce false triggers, shorten door open times, and significantly lower energy costs.
Enhanced Safety & Traffic Control
Prevent collisions and improve operational safety with early detection capabilities. The AUX output allows connection to warning systems, alerting internal traffic when vehicles approach before the door opens.
Smart Installation & Control
Mobile App Integration
Configure and adjust settings using the dedicated mobile app (iOS & Android).
- Multi-language interface (7 languages)
- Real-time adjustments
- User-friendly navigation
Fast & Flexible Installation
