WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
- Connect up following one of the wiring diagrams in
Fig.11A, B or C
. Use the diagram which matches
your application. See also the equipment wiring
instructions.
- Check the alignment of the units using the red LED
of the receiver card (
Fig.10
). When the units are
correctly aligned, the led will light up.

GENERAL
The package contains one infrared transmitter
photocell and one infrared receiver photocell. The
photocells are housed inside a box made from high-
power infra-red filter plastic.
The housing has a waterproof rubber seal. The photocell
can be welded or screwed to a post or mounted
directly to a wall using the plugs and screws provided.
The connecting cables can be inserted through the back
or through the bottom of the box as the case requires.
