Installation
1.
Remove the plastic and threaded plugs from both sides of the housing. Determine which direction
the conduit will enter the housing and insert the threaded plug on the opposite side.
2.
Connect 12-24 VDC/AC
power to the “Power Input” terminals on the transmitter (marked “TX”)
and receiver (marked “RX”).
The power input terminals are not polarity sensitive.
3.
Connect the Common (COM) to the control input terminal per the operator manufacturer.
4.
Connect either the Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) as needed to the control input
terminal per the operator manufacturer.
5.
Adjust the sensitivity potentiometer as needed by turning counter clockwise to increase gain.
Use the minimum sensitivity setting needed to achieve reliable detection.
6.
Verify that the IRB-EXP transmitter and receiver are aligned and apply power.
LED Indicators

Power
Red receiver LED on
Beam blocked or not aligned
7.
Place an obstruction (ex. hand) between the IRB-EXP transmitter and receiver. The red LED on the
receiver will turn on. Check the operator control board and verify that the safety input is recognized
by the operator. Test the beam with an obstruction between the transmitter and receiver at
multiple distances to confirm proper operation.
8.
Remove the obstruction and red LED will turn off.
•
If IRB-EXP is aligned but not detecting an obstruction, consider slowly reducing
the sensitivity (clockwise) on the receiver until the obstruction is detected.
This may be applicable for installations with a detection zone of less than 20 ft.
