BEA Bodyguard Overhead Presence Sensor

The BEA Bodyguard Overhead Presence Sensor is a high-precision detection device designed to enhance safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency in automatic door systems. Mounted overhead, it detects the presence of individuals in the door threshold—preventing accidental closures and improving ADA compliance for pedestrian traffic.

The Bodyguard is commonly used in sliding, swinging, and folding door systems across commercial, healthcare, and retail environments. It ensures doors remain open when someone is present and closes only when the area is clear—minimizing collision risk and conserving energy.

This updated model, formerly known as 10BODYGUARDT, is now the 10BODYGUARDIII, offering improved performance, longer lifespan, and greater detection reliability.
