The EAGLE Unidirectional Tracking Motion Detector is a professional microwave motion sensor designed for commercial overhead doors, industrial doors, automatic doors, gates, and access-control applications. It can be used for motion-based activation where reliable detection of approaching traffic is needed.

This sensor is commonly used on commercial door systems where technicians want the door to open when a person, vehicle, forklift, cart, or other moving object approaches the opening. Its unidirectional tracking capability helps distinguish approaching movement from traffic moving away from the door, helping reduce unnecessary door cycles and improve energy efficiency in busy commercial environments.

The EAGLE motion detector is suitable for many commercial and industrial applications, including warehouses, loading docks, parking garages, service bays, storefront entrances, industrial facilities, and gated access points. It is a practical replacement or upgrade part for garage door technicians, gate installers, access-control contractors, facility maintenance teams, and commercial door service companies.

Compatibility & Fitment

This EAGLE motion detector is intended for compatible commercial door, gate, and access-control operator systems that accept an external motion activation sensor. Before ordering, confirm the operator model, power requirements, wiring configuration, relay input requirements, mounting height, detection zone requirements, and whether your application requires unidirectional or bidirectional sensing.

The EAGLE sensor is commonly associated with 12–24 VAC/DC applications and is used with commercial automatic door and overhead door systems. Always verify the specific control-board requirements before installation.

This product should not be confused with a residential garage door opener safety photoeye. It is a motion activation detector, not a standard residential obstruction sensor. If your operator requires monitored entrapment protection, safety edges, or UL 325 monitored photoeyes, those safety devices must be selected separately according to the operator manufacturer’s requirements.

Installation Notes

Install the EAGLE motion detector according to the manufacturer’s wiring diagram and the operator manufacturer’s instructions. The sensor must be mounted at the proper height, aimed correctly, and adjusted for the desired detection field.

After installation, test the system through multiple cycles. Confirm that the door or gate activates when intended, does not false-trigger from nearby traffic, rain, vibration, cross-traffic, or door movement, and returns to normal operation after the detection zone is clear.

For best performance, adjust the detection mode, field size, antenna angle, immunity filter, and sensing direction based on the door opening, traffic flow, mounting location, and environmental conditions.

Safety Notice

Commercial doors, gates, and automatic operators can cause serious injury, death, or property damage if sensors or controls are installed incorrectly. This product should be installed and adjusted only by trained garage door, gate, access-control, or automatic door technicians.

Do not use a motion detector as a substitute for required safety devices. Always verify that photoeyes, monitored entrapment protection, safety edges, reversing systems, and other required safety components are installed and functioning properly before returning the door or gate to service.
