Hercules Motion Detector for Commercial Door Activation

Add automatic activation to a compatible commercial door system with the Hercules motion detector. A properly selected and configured motion detector provides a convenient way to trigger door operation as traffic approaches, helping support movement through warehouses, loading areas and service entrances.

Common Applications

• Commercial overhead door activation.

• Warehouse and loading-area access.

• Service bays and industrial entrances.

• Replacement of an existing matching Hercules detector.

Compatibility & Selection

Confirm the exact Hercules model on the sensor label before ordering a replacement. Match its supply voltage, output type, mounting requirements and detection capabilities to the connected operator.

The operator must accept the detector’s activation signal. Compatibility cannot be determined from the door or operator brand alone.

Installation & Setup

Follow the instructions for the exact sensor version. Position and configure the detector for the intended approach path, then test it with the actual traffic expected at the opening.

Check for unwanted activation from nearby traffic and confirm that the door opens early enough for the intended approach speed. Verify all existing safety devices after installation.

Safety Warnings

Do not assume that a motion detector will detect a stationary person or vehicle. Use dedicated presence detection or entrapment-protection devices where required by the system design.

This detector must not be used to bypass photo eyes, sensing edges, stop circuits or other required safety equipment. Disconnect power before wiring and have a qualified commercial door technician complete installation and testing. Keep people and vehicles clear of the moving door.
