Fly Catcher – Compact Passive Infrared Sensor for Automatic Doors
Small size. Big precision. Seamless integration.
The Fly Catcher is a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor, designed for automatic doors where only a small, highly-defined detection zone is required. Its minimal footprint makes it ideal for discreet installation—such as being concealed inside a door profile—providing activation without obvious hardware.
Passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor
Key Features
-
Ultra-compact design
Its small form factor allows the sensor to be hidden within aluminium or glass door frames or ceiling mounts. -
Precise detection zone
The sensor’s detection field can be carefully masked and adjusted (via masking lens or DIP-switches) to ensure only the intended area triggers the door. -
Reliable performance
The passive infrared technology maintains a homogeneous detection lobe that is unaffected by temperature changes, air currents, rain, snow or external interference. -
Flexible mounting
Options include flush-mounting inside profiles, surface mounting, or ceiling mounting with accessories—making it suitable for architectural entrances with limited space.
Typical applications
-
Slim-profile automatic sliding doors in commercial buildings or retail shops, where design aesthetics matter and visible sensors should be minimal.
-
High-end access points in offices, hotels or showrooms equipped with frameless glass doors, where conventional bulky sensors would interfere with the look.
-
Secondary doors or service entrances where only a limited detection zone is needed (for example, a narrow side-door or a small personnel access door).
-
Retrofits where the door hardware has restricted space for sensor mounting and a discreet solution is preferred.
