FEIG Radar Scanners & Microwave Safety Detectors
All-Weather Vehicle & Presence Detection for Gates and Barriers
FEIG radar scanners provide reliable, all-weather vehicle and presence detection for automatic gates, barriers, and industrial door systems across the UK. The FEIG MWD series microwave radar sensors use Doppler technology to detect the presence and movement of vehicles and pedestrians — providing gate activation and safety hold-open functions without the need for buried inductive loops. Ideal for locations where groundworks are impractical, or as a supplement to existing loop detection systems.
Also referred to as microwave sensors, radar presence detectors, Doppler radar sensors, gate activation radars, or barrier safety radars, FEIG radar scanners are widely specified by professional installers across the UK perimeter security and gate automation industry.

Frequently Asked Questions — Radar Scanners
What is a FEIG radar scanner used for?
FEIG radar scanners detect the presence of vehicles and pedestrians using microwave Doppler technology. They're used as safety hold-open detectors at automatic gates and barriers — preventing closure when a vehicle or person is in the operating zone — or as activation sensors to open a gate or barrier when a vehicle approaches. They provide reliable above-ground detection in all weather conditions.
What's the advantage of FEIG radar over loop detection?
FEIG radar scanners work above ground and require no groundworks, making them ideal for retrofit installations or surfaces where cutting a loop channel isn't possible. They also perform well on ramps, bridges, and surfaces that compromise inductive loop performance. Unlike loops, they can be repositioned and are easier to service.
Can FEIG radar scanners work alongside loop detectors?
Yes — FEIG radar scanners and loop detectors are often used together in the same installation. For example, a loop detector might handle the main vehicle trigger while a radar scanner provides a secondary safety hold-open zone. Our team can advise on the best combination for your application.
