The SBK-30 (10.1029) is a self-contained infrared beam set that 
may be used for various applications, most commonly automatic 
pedestrian doors.  The beams fi t easily into a pre-drilled ½” hole 
and are a snap fi t. Wiring is by a quick disconnect cable that can 
be daisy-chained up to 30’ (in 15’ increments).  The beams offer 
an LED indication at their back side for ease of alignment and 
troubleshooting.

1.

Pre-drill a ½” hole at the desired mounting 
location.

2.

When using more than one set of beams, 
alternate the beam orientation as shown 
at right.

3.

Route the long cable from its termination 
point to the beam mounting location.

4.

Plug the beam cable in via the snap 
together connector.

5.

Install the beam into the ½” hole and press 
the beam until it clicks into the opening. 
Typically, the wall thickness of the drilled 
material should not exceed 1/8”.

Beam A:  Between 45” and 55” from floor 

Beam B, C:  Between 6” and 12” from any other beam 
Beam D:  Between 6” and 28” from floor 

For sliding doors, ANSI/BHMA A156.10-2005 states the lowest beam should be between 6” (152mm) and 28” (711mm) from the fl oor.  The 
distance between the highest beam and the fl oor should be between 45” (1143mm) and 55” (1397mm).  Other beams between the lowest and 
highest should not be greater than 6” (152mm) and 12” (305mm) apart from any other beam.
