Infrared Sensors (IR) 

The  FlexStep  V2  is  mounted  with  Infrared  Sensors,  to  minimise  risk  of  getting 

squeezed  between  the  steps  and  under  the  girders.  The  Infrared  Sensors  are 

positioned  on  the  girders  off  the  edges  of  each  step  and  protected  by  removable 

covers.  
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Attaching the IR safety boards TX (Transmitter) & RX (Receiver) to the girder: 
The safety IR boards are attached to the girder with plastic clips. TX boards with the LED 

through the hole and RX boards with the receiver opposite the hole.
