WALL MOUNTING
Select a suitable flat position on the wall either side of the door to mount the wall brackets,
ideally 150mm (6”) off the ground and away from the door opening as far as possible to
avoid any sunlight from shining directly into the Receiver.
The brackets are mounted on the wall using the TEK screws provided.
First drill two 3mm (1/8”) pilot holes 25mm (1”) apart in a horizontal plane.
BEAM ALIGNMENT
Lightly secure each bracket with a TEK screw using the central single hole at the end of
the Bracket, to allow thee bracket to be rotated slightly during the beam alignment
process.
Note that alignment of the infrared beam in the horizontal plane is facilitated by rotation
of the brackets and alignment of the beam in the vertical plane id facilitate by rotation of
the infrared sensing heads in the plastic gimbals which are part of each of the base
mouldings.
Note that when the beam is correctly aligned the RED LED on the Receiver will be off.
When you are satisfied with the alignment then screw in the second TEK screws in each of
the brackets and ensure that all 4 TEK screws are firmly tight.
Reconfirm the alignment should the final fixing of the TEK screws may have affected the
alignment.
Check the correct response of the Photocells by obstructing the infrared beam with your
hand and confirm that the RED LED turns off.
Check the correct response of the door if the beam is obstructed whilst the door is closing
FITTING THE PHOTOCELL TOP MOULDINGS.
Note that the top mouldings are refitted by hooking the tongue of the top
moulding into the slot of the base moulding and press the bottom of the top
moulding firmly in place. Then refit the black self-tapping screw to secure the
top to the base. Finally push the plastic screw cover in position to provide a
means of hiding the assembly screw from unauthorised people.
Recheck the correct functioning of the photocell installation.
