    How to fix BEA Accessories sensor if it is not capable of activation near the door?
    • M
      melissa43Jul 29, 2025
      If your BEA Accessories sensor isn't activating near the door, it might be because the tilt angle is too large. Try reducing the tilt angle.

    What to do if the BEA FALCON Accessories sensor does not respond to the remote control?
    • K
      Kenneth MillerAug 5, 2025
      If your BEA Accessories sensor isn't responding to the remote control, here's what you can check: * **Weak Batteries:** Make sure the batteries are correctly inserted or replace them. * **Changed Access Code:** You can reset the parameters to factory values by pressing both push buttons simultaneously. Alternatively, switch off the power supply and change the access code within the first minute after powering it back on.

    Why does my BEA FALCON Accessories door open and close constantly?
    • J
      Jorge ColemanAug 10, 2025
      If your BEA Accessories door opens and closes constantly, it might be due to: * The sensor detecting the door's movement. You can resolve this by increasing the tilt angle or reducing the sensitivity. * Vibrations from the door closing. Ensure the sensor is correctly fixed. If the rejection mode is at level 1, change it to level 2. Also, try reducing the sensitivity or switching to unidirectional mode.

    What to do if BEA Accessories door opens and closes after a given time for no apparent reason?
    • C
      Christopher DoyleAug 16, 2025
      If your BEA Accessories door opens and closes after a given time for no apparent reason, it's likely that the sensor is picking up unintended traffic motion. Try reducing the sensitivity and the tilt angle to resolve this.

    What to do if the BEA FALCON door will not open and the red LED does not light up?
    • M
      Michael RiddleAug 22, 2025
      If the BEA Accessories door won't open and the red LED isn't lit, the sensor power might be off. Check the power supply and the supply voltage.
