8. POSITIONING THE BARRIERS
Before positioning the barriers in an outdoor 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 not be positioned too close to reflective surfaces, such as walls, or
objects that can weaken the signal.
EXAMPLES OF SITUATIONS TO AVOID DURING INSTALLATION
5)
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”. It is recommended to leave a 50cm corridor.
6)
Position the barriers frontally. If installed close to walls, use the rotating spacer kit to point the barriers so
that the beam is kept parallel to the wall.
7)
DO NOT place the barriers along the side of roads: headlights pointing towards the RX could create
disturbances.
8)
DO NOT place the barriers close to automatic gates: signals from photocells could create interference.
