## **S ecifications p** 

## **Diagnostics** 

If a fault occurs on either the emitter or receiver the Alarm LED and output will turn ON. 

## **Receiver fault** 

During normal operation the receiver is monitored for faults. 

If the wires are short-circuited the “Code A, Yellow LED” flashes at a rate of 2 Hz. 

If the wires are broken the “Code A, Yellow LED” flashes at a rate of 4 Hz. 

## **Emitter fault** 

During normal operation the emitter is monitored for faults. 

If the wires are short-circuited the “Code B, Green LED” flashes at a rate of 2 

the led flashes with the highest frequency. On short distance the sensitivity can be reduced using the potentiometer and then get better readings in the alignment LED. 

Hz. 

If the wires are broken the “Code B, Green LED” flashes at a rate of 4 Hz. 

**Alignment** The ALARM output will folIf the alignment DIP switch low the Signal LED in alignis set the Yellow Signal LED ment mode, so a Sensor Flashes according to the tester (optional) can be consignal quality. nected to serve as a remote Low frequency means weak indication during alignment of the sensors. 

Low frequency means weak signal. Steady indication means maximum signal. On long distance it is not possible to get a steady signal but the alignment is optimal when 

**NB!** In alignment mode the output is off. 

## **Code A or B** 

When two sensor pairs are mounted close to each other 

it is recommended to select one set to Code A and the other to Code B to minimize crosstalk. 

## **Dirt reserve** 

For optimal detection excess gain settings can be selected using the Level Low/High DIP switch: • High: Allows high dirt build-up. 

• Low: Allows detection of semi-transparent objects. 

## **Power settings** 

To avoid a too strong emitter the range can be reduced to 50% in the power DIP switch settings.

## **Accessories** 

- 11 pole circular socket ZPD11 

- • Holding down spring HF • Mounting rack SM13 • Front panel mounting bezel FRS2 

## **Deliver Contents y** 

- Amplifier 

- **Packaging:** Carton box 

## **Installation of industrial doors in compliance with the UL325 standard** 

## **Connections** 

- **1)** Connect the supply wires to the amplifier (for DC systems: + on terminal 2, - on terminal 10). 

- **2)** Make sure that the power is within the specified tolerances and employed as required by the local codes. 

## **Mounting** 

- **1)** When installing the sensors, make sure that the maximum range is not exceeded and - if 2 separate systems are mounted close to each other - place the sensors so cross-talk is avoided. 

- **2)** To protect the receiver and the transmitter against damage, proper fittings must be used in the installation. 

- **3)** The amplifier must be mounted in an appropriate enclosure to protect it against mechanical as well as electrical damage and fire. 

- **4)** Do not apply power to the amplifier before the sensors 

   - are connected. 

- **5)** Connect the receiver and the emitter to the dedicated terminals. 

- **6)** Apply power to the amplifier. 

- **7)** The yellow LED´s for the output should be ON (N.O.), OFF (N.C.) with no object present. 

   - _Note: For systems with test input, be sure that the Emitter is enabled._ 

- **8)** Interrupt the light beam and make sure that the yellow LED turns OFF (N.O), turns ON (N.C.). 

## For each door cycle: 

The connected door controller must verify that the sensors operate properly, by testing the sensor function using the test input in at least one of the doors’ end position. 

## **CAUTION** 

Not for use and mounting as a separate accessory. Only for incorporation by a professional inside a door, drapery, gate, louver or window operator or system after evaluation of the combination (assembly) has shown compliance with the applicable standards.
