MICROSTAR™M MICROWAVE MOTION SENSOR

HUMAN PRESENCE RADAR™

MONITORING CAPABILITY

The microStar M is a flush-mount microwave motion sensor with Human Presence Radar™ (HPR™) for activating all types of automatic doors. The microStar M provides unparalleled protection to even the slowest moving pedestrians from doors closing prematurely.

The microStar M is the first motion sensor to feature an "installation mode," which allows the installer to set the detection area without having to physically activate the door.

Like other conventional microwave sensors, for the microStar M to activate an automatic door, it utilizes Doppler shift radar to detect movements of at least 2" per second. However, once the door has been activated, the microStar's second level of detection — Human Presence Radar™ is enabled. Now motion down to 1/4" per second can be detected. This means with HPR™ enabled, persons virtually standing still will continue to be detected anywhere in the detection zone.

Since conventional Doppler shift radar must initially activate the door before enabling Human Presence Radar™, there is no additional chance for false activation of the door because HPR™ alone cannot activate the door.

Human Presence Radar™ gives slow moving, elderly or disabled persons the confidence that once they have been initially detected, they can safely approach an automatic door at any speed without the door closing prematurely.
