BEA BR3-X Programmable 3 Relay Logic Module
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
READ BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION & SET-UP
- Shut off all power going to header before attempting any wiring procedures.
- Maintain a clean and safe environment when working in public areas.
- Constantly be aware of pedestrian traffic around the door area.
- Always stop pedestrian traffic through the doorway when performing tests that may result in unexpected reactions by the door.
- ESD (electrostatic discharge): Circuit boards are vulnerable to damage by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any board ensure you dissipate your body’s ESD charge.
- Always check placement of all wiring before powering up to ensure that moving door parts will not catch any wires and cause damage to equipment.
- Ensure compliance with all applicable safety standards (i.e. ANSI A156.10) upon completion of installation.
- DO NOT attempt any internal repair of the components. All repairs and/or component replacements must be performed by BEA, Inc. Unauthorized disassembly or repair:
- May jeopardize personal safety and may expose one to the risk of electrical shock.
- May adversely affect the safe and reliable performance of the product resulting in a voided warranty.
SET-UP / WIRING
Set jumpers
RELAY 1 OUTPUT | DRY/WET JUMPER2 | AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE1 | DC OUTPUT VOLTAGE2 |
DRY | both jumpers set to DRY | N/A | N/A |
WET1 | both jumpers set to WET | both jumpers set to AC | both jumpers set to DC |
Wiring according to desired function (reference full User’s Guide for complete set of wiring diagrams).
NOTES
- If voltage Input at the Br3-X is AC, then output selection can be AC or DC.
- When DC ‘WET’ output is selected, COM terminal is positive (+) and the ground (-) is switched between NO and NC.
PROGRAMMING
- Press and hold INCR + FUNC for 3 seconds.
- Display will toggle between FF / 00 for 5 seconds.1,2
- While FF / 00 is displayed, press INCR to cycle through functions.
- Once desired function is selected, press FUNC to cycle through parameters.
- Display will toggle between parameter and its current value for 5 seconds.
- Press 3 INCR to cycle through parameter’s values.
- Repeat steps 4-7 until all function parameters are set.
- Wait 5 seconds for Br3-X to save and display function.
- Test the device to ensure that all function parameters are working correctly and as intended for the specific application.
NOTES
- Function 00 disables the BR3-X.
- “nP” = no parameters are applicable for the selected function.
- Relay hold time(s) and delay time(s) MUST be set for any relay that is to be utilized. Ex: For function 36, if using only relay 1, h1 must be set… if using relay 1 and relay 2, h1, h2, and d1 must be set.
- Pressing and holding INCR will rapid cycle.

COMPLIANCE EXPECTATIONS
BEA, INC. INSTALLATION/SERVICE COMPLIANCE EXPECTATIONS
BEA, Inc., the sensor manufacturer, cannot be held responsible for incorrect installations or incorrect adjustments of the sensor/device; therefore, BEA, Inc. does not guarantee any use of the sensor/device outside of its intended purpose. BEA, Inc. strongly recommends that installation and service technicians be AAADM-certifi ed for pedestrian doors, IDA-certifi ed for doors/ gates, and factory-trained for the type of door/gate system. Installers and service personnel are responsible for executing a risk assessment following each installation/service performed, ensuring that the sensor/device system performance is compliant with local, national, and international regulations, codes, and standards. Once installation or service work is complete, a safety inspection of the door/gate shall be performed per the door/gate manufacturer’s recommendations and/or per AAADM/ANSI/DASMA guidelines (where applicable) for best industry practices.
Safety inspections must be performed during each service call – examples of these safety inspections can be found on an AAADM safety information label (e.g. ANSI/DASMA 102, ANSI/DASMA 107, UL294, UL325, and International Building Code). Verify that all appropriate industry signage, warning labels, and placards are in place.
