The Orascan is an opening and safety sensor for sliding doors using dual technology: Artek radar technology for smart opening and time-of-flight laser for a complete 180° safety coverage of the door threshold, including side screen safety. A module must be installed on both sides of the door.
Curved door : The sensor automatically detects curved doors and adjusts the position of its curtains to ensure optimal protection. Refer to the Application Note – Curved door for installation details.
Telescopic door (double): The sensor automatically detects telescopic (double) doors and adjusts the side screen width accordingly.

Rain Accessory | Retrofit Mounting Base | Tilt Accessory* | Bracket Accessory | Ceilling Accessory** |
*Mount the Tilt Accessory in the correct orientation to align the sensor parallel to the door leaves. Required if the operator cover is angled or if the door lintel is large.
**Refer to the corresponding application note.

![]() | Warning |
|---|---|
Make sure the Orascan is mounted in a plane parallel to the door leaves. If the operator cover is angled, use the Tilt Accessory. |
![]() | Note |
|---|---|
The Orascan sensor must be paired with another Orascan using the supplied BLUESPIN cable. Orascan can be connected to a door controller using previously installed cables. Please refer to the application note. |

*Factory Values |
![]() | After changing a DIP- switch, the main LED blinks orange. A long push on the red push button confirms the settings. |
The service mode deactivates the safety detection during 15 minutes and can be useful during an installation, a mechanical teach-in of the door or maintenance work. To enter the service mode, push on the red push button for > 3 seconds. When the sensor is in service mode, all safety-related LEDs are OFF To exit the service mode, push the red push button again for > 3 seconds. The service mode is deactivated automatically when launching a teach-in. | ![]() |
Use the white button to increase the field size and the black button to decrease the field size.
Wide mode: press the black button 3s, when the LED turns violet, press the white one.
Narrow mode: press the black button 3s, when the LED turns violet, press the black one.

|---|---|
- Make sure the door operates in summer mode (full opening) during the teach-in. - Make sure you and anyone else are outside the detection field during the teach-in process. If people are inside the detection field, the sensor may not work as expected. - If the moving panels have no metallic frame, activate the "fog & full glass filter" with the mobile app (safety settings tab) and cover their edges from top to bottom with a large, matte paper tape (unreflective, at least 3cm wide). This strip can be removed once the teach-in is finished |

![]() | Note |
|---|---|
If both Orascan sensors have DIP switch 4 set to Automatic Teach-In, launching the teach-in will trigger it simultaneously on both sensors. The automatic teach-in can also be launched per mobile app. |
