Product Highlights

Smart Detection

Accurately distinguishes pedestrians from vehicles.

Easy Installation

Fast setup with flexible mounting up to 6 m.

Helios 2T

Mobile Control

Configure settings easily via the mobile app.

Industrial Ready

Reliable performance for demanding environments.

Solutions and Functions

Mobile app and user-friendly design

Helios 2T can be conveniently adjusted using the mobile app. The app can be downloaded free of charge for iOS and Android. The user interface is self-explanatory and available in seven languages. The compact design of the sensor makes installation quick and easy. The radar and AIR fields are precisely positioned independently of each other with the help of the fixing screws on the side of the housing and a clearly recognizable scale. The plug-in connection cable also reduces the installation effort. An LED ring on the device serves as visual feedback, indicating the operating status of the sensor at all times.
Helios 2T

Flexible adaptation depending on the application

Every application has its own requirements. Helios 2T meets these diverse requirements with flexibly positionable and expandable sensor detection fields. For example, individual AIR points can be switched on or off via the app. Its additional AUX output offers the option of connecting an optional warning device. If a vehicle is detected in the early detection field in front of the building, Helios 2T activates a connected warning light. This warns of the approaching vehicle in the interior before the door opens to prevent possible collisions.

Professional energy-saving functions

Long door open times waste a lot of energy in industrial buildings. Helios 2T offers three functionalities that significantly reduce the building’s energy consumption: Cross-traffic suppression, object and direction detection. Cross-traffic suppression and direction detection prevent false openings, e.g. due to vehicles maneuvering in the detection field. Object detection diverts people who do not necessarily have to use the door to side doors or wicket doors.

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
