7 POSITIONING
THE
BARRIERS
Before positioning the barriers in an external environment, bear in mind that the infrared beam has a conical shape: the
greater the distance between the barriers, the greater the diameter of the cone on arrival. In order to prevent false alarms,
the barriers must be positioned far from reflective surfaces, such as walls or elements that can weaken the signal.
EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS TO AVOID DURING INSTALLATION
1) DO NOT position the barriers with plants, bushes or fixed objects within their range of action, as these
can block the signal and create “grey areas”.
2) DO NOT position the barriers close to walls, as this may reduce the signal quality.
3) DO NOT place the barriers close to roads: headlights pointing towards the RX could create disturbances
4) DO NOT place the barriers close to automatic gates: signals from the photocells may create interference.
