Installation and programming

To install and store the AF970R barrier code onto the control panel
or the receiver, do as follows:

1)

remove the plugs and also the Master and Slave electronic cir-
cuits with great care

2)

set up the Master and the Slave dip-switches according to the
intended use

3)

prepare the control panel or the receiver for “programming”
and for storing the code (refer to the instructions of the User’s
manual relating to the control panel or the receiver)

4)

energize the Master circuit of the AF970R barrier using the
corresponding battery (and also energize the other Slave cir-
cuit by using the second battery supplied by the manufactu-
rer). When energized for the first time, the Master circuit tran-
smits its code to the receiver or the control panel for storing
onto the selected channel. Storing is then confirmed

5)

enable the alignment test by inserting the TEST jumper on both
barrier circuits 

(fig.2)

6)

insert the circuits in the bars following the right direction
(which is shown on the labels on the back of the two plastic
section bars) and put the plugs back to their seat

7)

position the bars where they must be installed and make some
operating tests: alignment is automatic – a BEEP by the buzzer
housed inside the Master bar indicates ray interruption

8)

once the correct bar position has been located, mark the wall
fixing points as well as the tamper device magnet position, if
any 

(fig.1)

9)

re-open the bars, remove the TEST jumpers (fig. 2) , close the
TAMPER jumper (if necessary) and close the bars after positio-
ning the circuits at their place (the TX Master transmission
point must correspond to RX Slave reception point in a bee-
line 

(fig.1)

10)

make the fixing holes and the hole for the TAMPER magnet (if
necessary) and then fix the unit by means of the dowels.

Note:

if a hindrance causes ray interruption for more than 30

seconds, synchronism will be reset after 1 minute from hindrance
removal.

Operation description

If properly installed, the AF970R barrier transmits an alarm when
one of the rays is interrupted.
It can also send a signal of “end of alarm” (dip-switch no. 4) when
the ray is restored.

Note:

when AF970R is used with AVE radio control panels (throu-

gh the “end of alarm” function), the signal of “ray interruption”

corresponds to the signal “open door”.

Direct sunlight effects

The plant must be protected against the effects shown in 

figure 4

:

in fact, due to its infrared rays, sunlight could cause the alarm by
saturating the receiver. This risk increases as greatest the distance
between the two bars. 
The maximum distances are the following:
• for indoor installation: 7 meters
• for outdoor installation: 5 meters.

Note:

the dip-switch n° 3 

(fig. 3)

must be put in the correct posi-

tion in order to ensure correct operation when the device is instal-
led outdoors.

Tamper device 

AF970R is self-protected as bar removal causes the alarm tran-
smission. Anyway, a device for the Master bar protection has been
provided: it consists of a magnet  to be inserted into the wall 

(fig.

1)

close to the  Reed relay before installing the bar.

Note:

if the tamper device is not used, the TAMPER jumper must

be kept closed 

(fig.2)

How to install several superposed barriers
Figure 5

shows an example  of how to install several barriers out-

doors provided with a tamper device.
First make sure that:

1)

for each barrier, the TX Master transmission point corresponds
to the Slave RX reception point in a bee-line 

(fig.2)

2)

for each superposed barrier, dip-switches no. 1 and 2  must be
located in different positions 

3)

dip-switch no. 3 must be ON 

(fig.3)

for outdoors installation

programming

4)

dip-switch no. 4 must be ON 

(fig.3)

for “end of alarm” pro-

gramming.
