IRB-4X Transmitter connections

 (figure 1) 

1.

 

Connect power (12 – 24V AC/DC) to 

Power input terminals (no polarity) LED2 
Power LED will glow green when powered. 

IRB-4X Receiver connections

 (figure 2)                                  

Terminal output connections from left to right are:  

Normally closed, Common, Normally open, Power, Power 

1.

 

Connect power (12 – 24V AC/DC to Power input terminals (no polarity) 

2.

 

Connect the Common to the operator control terminal per manufacturer 

3.

 

Connect either the Normally open or Normally Closed as needed to the 
Control  input terminal specified by the operator manufacturer. 

4.

 

The Power LED will glow green when powered. 

5.

 

Adjust sensitivity potentiometer as needed by turning counter clockwise 
to increase gain. (range is 3 to 115 feet). (see arrow) 

6.

 

The detect Led will glow red when an obstruction occurs. 

7.

 

On some variable frequency drives and noisy installations, it may be 
necessary to connect the bottom right mounting hole labeled  
“Earth Ground” to a wire connected to earth ground. 
 

* Do not connect unless necessary 

Use minimum gain setting needed to achieve reliable detection.
