SKYFOLD CLASSIC, ZENITH AND MIRAGE RETRACTABLE WALLS
12
Obstruction/Infra-Red Sensor
On the Mirage model, an infra-red sensor is located on the bottom of the wall track. On
all other models, the bottom edge of the wall is equipped with an obstruction sensor (see
Figure 4a
) that runs the entire length of the wall. If the obstruction sensor comes in contact
with an obstruction—or if the infra-red beam is broken—while the wall is descending, then
the power is cut to the lifting motor, the electromagnetic brake engages, and the wall’s
descent instantly halts. The wall will then automatically reverse direction for three (3)
seconds (see
Figures 2
and
4a
).
Warning
➢
The obstruction sensor on the Classic, Zenith and Zenith Premium models will
not detect any obstruction that is less than 3” (76 mm) from the ends of the wall.
➢
After the wall reverses direction for three (3) seconds, you must remove the
obstruction prior to resuming the Skyfold wall’s descent.
➢
If the wall has sustained damage, do not operate the wall. Call your authorized
local Skyfold dealer for an immediate inspection.
Note that the pneumatic sensor on the Classic, Zenith and Zenith Premium models is an
integral part of the obstruction sensor and is illustrated in
Figures 2
and
4a
.
