General installation instructions
1. After installing the barrier, make sure that it is perfectly closed with the watertight
covers supplied.
2. Use the cable clamps supplied to insert the cable in the lower section.
3. Make sure that the path between the sensors is free and that there are no obstacles
that could affect the communication between the optical assemblies of the transmitters
and receivers (i.e. branches, plants, leaves, etc. that could interfere with the beams).
4. Verify that the optical path of the transmitter used by the receiver barrier is not
exposed to direct sunlight at dawn and sunset.
5. Do not stack several barriers, as this could cause the transmitters to interfere with
several receivers. It is usually advisable to reverse the transmitters and receivers
when installing the barriers (see page 6 in Figure 1-2).
6. Do not use switching power supplies that cause disturbance to power supplies when
amplified by optically synchronized systems.
