Thank you for purchasing our ”intelligent” quad
photoelectric beam.
This unit will provide long and dependable service
when properly installed.
Please read the Instruction Manual carefully to ensure
correct and effective use.
This sensor is designed to detect intrusion events
and initiate alarm. It is not a burglary- preventive
device.

theft, force majeure (including inductive surge by
lightning), abuse, misuse, abnormal usage, faulty
installations or improper maintenance.
Product description
The
Vanderbilt
photoelectric beam sensor (IS443,
IS444 and IS445) consists of an infrared transmitter
and receiver.
It is designed to be ”AND” gated
- an alarm is initiated
only when all four (quad) stacked beams are
interrupted simultaneously.
Alarm is not initiated when up to three beams are
interrupted by e.g. insects or falling leaves.
In addition, four beam frequency channels are
available to prevent cross-talk when multiple units are
stacked or lined up.
Due to the Programmed AGC function the sensitivity
is automatically increased in bad weather conditions
in order to deal with fog, rain or frost.

The maximum wiring distance when two or more
sets are connected is the above- mentioned value
divided by the number of sets.
The signal line can be wired to a distance up to
1000m with AWG22 (dia 0.65mm) telephone
wire.
Installation height
In most cases, the beam should be installed at a
height of 70cm to 90cm.
Take into consideration the beam spread of each
model type in order to avoid potential reflection from
the ground surface or nearby objects. (see table
3
)
Mounting
The units can be easily mounted on a pole or an even
surface.
- Alignment by mirror adjustment.
Using the adjustment dial and adjustment screws,
the mirror can move horizontally (±90°) and
vertically (±10°), allowing the sensor to work in all
directions.
Remove cover; the screw is at base of the cover

.
Loosen any screws that fix the sensor body to the
mounting plate and slide the mounting plate
downwards to detach it.

A
Place the mounting plate on the wall as a drilling
template and mark the screw holes (allow for 20mm
space above the plate and 25mm below the plate.
This will provide for easy detachment of the cover
after installation.)
Drill holes in the wall.

B
Wooden wall: ø 3mm
Concrete wall: Refer to the specifications of the
securing plug used.
Install the sensor.

C
Insert a mounting screw; about 15mm of the screw
length should be projecting.
Install mounting plate on screws.
Insert cable.
Tighten screws.
Connect terminals.
Attach cover.
Seal the cable hole to prevent insects from
penetrating the unit.

C
The unit cannot be installed on an outlet box.
However, an outlet box can be used to provide cable
space.
Pole mounting
Drill cable hole in pole. Insert cable.
5
A
- The unit can be mounted onto a ø38-45mm O.D.
(outside diameter) pole.
- Drill a ø13mm hole through the pole where the unit
will be mounted for wiring.
Remove all drilling chips and file all sharp edges
around the hole to prevent rough edges from
damaging the cable.
A rubber grommet or bush may be used if desired.
Install sensor on pole.
5
B
Attach U-brackets to pole and secure on mounting
plate with screws.
Attach sensor body.
Insert cable.
Connect terminals.
Attach covers. (Break knockouts on cover and pole
cover to adapt to pole diameter and configuration.)
Pole mounting back to back
5
C
Attach four U-brackets to poles in two pairs, one on
top of the other, facing in opposite directions (see
illustration).
