INSTALLATION MANUAL
1) FOREWORD
ERIS A30 is a device that can be used on sliding gates and provides a
solution to the problem of connecting safety edges located on the mo-
ving leaf with the door’s control unit. ERIS A30 comprises two transcei-
ver units that communicate with each other through infrared signals.
Communication is coded using special safety techniques so that the
whole device gets a category 2 fault detection rating according to stan-
dard EN 954-1 and can therefore be used in PSPE systems in conformity
with standard EN 12978.
ERIS A30 comprises 2 units:
- ERIS A30 TX, which is powered by a long-life battery, should be atta-
ched to the moving leaf and can be connected with the safety edge,
which can either be optical (using the STR accessory = rubber profile
max. 2.5m) or resistive with a constant 8k2 resistance.
- ERIS A30 RX should be attached to the fixed part and is wired to the
gate’s control unit.
ERIS A30 is designed to be connected as a tested device. In addition to
working as a connection system between a safety edge and the control
unit, the device can also be used as a presence detector and hence as a
category D device according to standard EN 12453. To use ERIS A30 as
a type D device, ERIS A30 TX and ERIS A30 RX merely have to communi-
cate across the opening (See Fig. B Ref.1).

4) HOLES FOR INSTALLATION Fig. C
5) RUNNING ERIS A30 RX (Fig. D) and ERIS A30 TX (Fig. E) CABLES:
- through hole in back Ref. 1A
- through cable clamp Ref. 1B
Fasten the safety edge to the edge of the leaf following the directions
given in the instruction manual for the safety edge being used.
6) WIRING Fig. F
If no safety circuit fault test circuit is being used, qualified personnel
must be brought in to check that the device is in proper working order
at least once every 6 months.
7) INSPECTION Fig. G-H
Once inspection is complete, perform a few test cycles and check that:
a) When the safety edge is pressed, the automated system reacts as it
should.
b) When communication is broken between ERIS A30 RX and ERIS A30
TX by placing an obstacle between them, the automated system
reacts as it should.
c) When the previous 2 operating conditions are not encountered,
the operation is completed correctly.
8) WARNING! If the installation situation differs from the one featured
in the manual, refer to operation table 1. Also make sure that the
gate does NOT CREATE hazardous situations when it moves.
See TABLE Fig.I.
WARNING!
To connect the relay contacts to the fault test circuit, you must refer
to the wiring diagrams of the tested devices given in the instruction
manual for the control unit being used.
WARNING!
If other devices using infrared beams (photocells) are present, they
may interfere with communication. In the event a number of pairs of
photocells are installed in the same area, check that there is no interfe-
rence between them. In the event the ERIS A30 communication signal
is affected by interference from another ERIS A30 infrared signal, switch
the automated system to a safe state by opening both contacts.
