Setup und Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and safety of your PHOTON sensors. Follow these guidelines carefully.

Checkliste vor der Installation

• Ensure all components are present: Transmitter unit, Receiver unit, mounting hardware, 2 x AA alkaline batteries.
• Verify the gate area is clear of obstructions and suitable for sensor mounting.
• Confirm power supply (12V) is available for the receiver unit.

Montage der Sensoren

1. Choose a suitable mounting location on stable, vertical surfaces on either side of the gate opening. The sensors should be mounted at the same height, typically between 0.5m and 1m from the ground.
2. Securely attach the mounting brackets to the chosen surfaces using appropriate fasteners.
3. Mount the receiver unit on one side and the transmitter unit on the opposite side, ensuring they face each other directly.
4. Insert the two AA alkaline batteries into the transmitter unit.
5. Connect the receiver unit to the 12V power supply and the gate automation system's safety input terminals, following the gate system's specific wiring diagram.

Ausrichtungsverfahren

The PHOTON sensors feature an installer mode with audible feedback to assist with precise alignment.

1. Activate the installer mode on the transmitter (refer to the specific button/switch on the device, usually a small button on the side or back).
2. Adjust the angle of both the transmitter and receiver units until a continuous audible tone is heard from the transmitter. This indicates optimal alignment.
3. Once aligned, secure the sensors firmly in place.
4. Test the alignment by passing an object (e.g., your hand) through the beam path. The audible tone should stop, and the gate system's safety input should register the interruption.

Bedienungsanleitung

Once installed and aligned, the PHOTON sensors operate automatically as a safety device for your automated gate.

Normalbetrieb

• The infrared beam continuously transmits between the receiver and transmitter.
• When the beam is uninterrupted, the gate automation system operates normally.
• If an object or person breaks the infrared beam while the gate is closing, the sensors will signal the gate automation system to stop or reverse, preventing potential injury or damage.
• The sensors are designed for continuous operation and require no user intervention during normal use.

Batteriestatus

The transmitter unit provides an audible indication for low battery levels. When you hear intermittent beeps from the transmitter during normal operation, it indicates that the batteries are nearing the end of their life and should be replaced promptly.

Wartung

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your PHOTON sensors.

Reinigung

• Periodically inspect the sensor lenses for dirt, dust, spiderwebs, or other obstructions.
• Clean the lenses gently with a soft, damp Tuch. Keine Scheuer- oder Lösungsmittel verwenden.
• Ensure the area around the sensors is clear of vegetation or debris that could block the beam.

Batteriewechsel

• When the transmitter indicates a low battery (audible beeps), replace both AA alkaline batteries immediately.
• Open the battery compartment on the transmitter unit.
• Entfernen Sie die alten Batterien und entsorgen Sie diese entsprechend den örtlichen Vorschriften.
• Legen Sie zwei neue AA-Alkalibatterien ein und achten Sie dabei auf die richtige Polarität.
• Verschließen Sie das Batteriefach fest.
• After battery replacement, it is recommended to re-check the sensor alignment.

Funktionstest

• Regularly test the sensors by activating the gate and intentionally breaking the beam with an object (e.g., a cardboard box) to ensure the gate stops or reverses as expected.
• Perform this test at least once a month.
