BBC Bircher Herkules 2E man-vehicle separation radar: precise recognition, intelligent drive

I. Product overview

In entrance/exit scenarios such as industrial doors, automatic doors, car parks, etc., how to accurately distinguish betweenPersonnel and vehiclesThe key pain point is to improve the efficiency of access and ensure safety. Traditional radar sensors are often unable to distinguish the detection object, resulting in “people over the door, the car over the door also open the door,” the chaotic situation.

Launched by BBC Bircher SwitzerlandHerkules 2E Pedestrian Vehicle Separation Radar SensorIt uses advanced Doppler radar technology with planar microwave modules toAccurate recognition of human and vehicle movement characteristicsto realise the true meaning ofpedestrian-vehicle separation control。

Suzhou Jufu Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd.As the authorised agent and main sales channel of BBC BIRCHER, Switzerland, we provide sales, technical support and commissioning services for the whole series of Herkules 2E products.

II. Core Functional Highlights

1. Separation of man and vehicle, precise control

Herkules 2E can be configured independentlyOutput 1 (vehicles)和Output 2 (personnel)The trigger logic:

• Settable: Vehicle only / Personnel only / Personnel and vehicle at the same time
• Support: Forward direction detection / Backward direction detection / Bidirectional motion detection
• Typical application: opening the door when a vehicle passes, not triggering when a person passes on foot - avoiding ineffective door opening

2. 24GHz high-frequency radar for accurate detection

• frequency of emission: 24.05-24.25 GHz.
• firing power: <20 dBm
• Maximum detection speed: Vehicles 25 km/h
• Mounting Height: 2-7 metres (≥3 metres recommended for separation of people and vehicles)

3. Flexible protection zone settings

Output 1 and Output 2 can be set independently of each other.Size of protected area和(level of) sensitivity：

• Level 1: Ultra Small Area / Least Sensitive
• Level 2: small area / less sensitive
• Level 3: Medium Area / Normal Sensitivity
• Level 4: large area / higher sensitivity (factory default)
• Level 5: Extra Large Area / Highest Sensitivity

4. Wide Field Mode (WFM)

By installing the includedWide Detection Mode FixtureThe Herkules 2E extends the detection range for scenarios where the installation height is less than 4 metres. Modes can be switched at the touch of a button via the remote control or the sensor button.

5. Perfect anti-interference capability

• Interference filters: Resistant to electromagnetic interference from fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, wireless systems, motors/inverters, etc.
• Transverse Motion Recognition (CTO): Reduce false triggering of laterally moving objects
• Slow Motion Detection (SMD): Optimised for slow-moving people scenarios, keeping the door open

6. RegloBeam 2 remote control programming

standard equipmentRegloBeam 2 infrared remote controlThe system can be easily set up with all parameters on the ground:

• Mounting height setting
• Output 1/Output 2 Trigger Logic Configuration
• Protected area/sensitivity adjustment
• Hold time setting (0.2 sec. - 5 sec.)
• Output logic (NO/NC) switching
• Restore Factory Settings

💡 When there is no remote control, you can also use the sensor body with theL/R buttonPerform basic function settings.

IV. Typical Application Scenarios

take	Recommended Configurations	effect
Industrial plant gates	Output 1 = vehicle bi-directional, Output 2 = off	Door opens only when vehicle passes by, not triggered by persons on foot
Logistics Warehouse	Output 1 = Vehicle, Output 2 = Personnel	Separate controls for forklift and personnel, flexible zoning
Car park entrance/exit	Installation height ≥ 3 metres, pedestrian-vehicle separation mode	Distinguish between vehicular access and pedestrian movement
Automatic/Sliding Doors	Output 2 = personnel bi-directional, output 1 = off	Triggered by personnel only, vehicles do not interfere
Explosion-Proof Zone/Clean Zone	IP65 protection, wide temperature operation	Adaptation to harsh environments

V. Installation and commissioning points

• mounting position: Recommended installation in the centre above the door body, ≥ 3 metres from the floor (pedestrian-vehicle separation scenario)
• Tilt Adjustment: 30-45° typical for most applications, adjusted by tilt adjustment screws on both sides
• Avoid blocking: No protruding objects such as fans, plants, flags, etc. in the detection area
• away from interference sources: Avoid installation near sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as fluorescent lamps, HID lamps, etc.
• Wide detection mode: For installation heights below 4 metres, it is recommended to install the supplied wide detection mode fixture
