POTTER EWP-202C 2 Channel Wireless Annunciator System
DESCRIPTION
The E- D annunciator system is designed with superior dual counter active- infrared technology. The invisible dual infrared beam triggers a pleasant chime sound and registers a count on the digital counter when the infrared beam is interrupted. The transmitting signal differentiates among Entries and Exits making it an efficient device. The system counts the number of people that enter the facility and sounds a pleasant ” ding dong ” chime upon entering and a single ” ding ” sound upon exiting. Each event is counted, recorded and registered by the built-in digital counter and can be viewed and compared later in Entry/Exit modes. The annunciator is also equipped with an Alert Mode which sounds the built-in siren when triggered adding additional security.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
It is very important that before starting the installation, you carefully read the installation instructions, and spend time planning the installation. Although installation of the system is not difficult, there are a number of steps that must be done correctly for the system to operate properly. We suggest that the following steps be followed.
- Indoor use only
- DO NOT mount the infrared sensor/transmitter facing directly into the sun light or bright lights as it may reduce the optimum operating distance.
- The Wireless receiver, Infrared sensor/transmitters, wireless push button and Reflector should be mounted to a firm flat surface.
- The wireless receiver should be instaled at a level where it can be reached for counter reset and volume Adjustments.
- The infrared sensor/transmitter, wireless receiver and wireless push button should be install away from devices that may cause RF interference such as: electric motors, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and any other electric or electronic device that generates excessive electronic noise that may interfere with the normal operation of this device.
- The infrared sensor/transmitter and reflector should be installed at a distance not to exceed the 20ft max detection range.
- The wireless push button and Infrared sensor/transmitter must be mounted at a distance no greater than the maximum allowed range of 200ft in an open field between them and the wireless receiver.
- The transmitting range will decrease when the following conditions exist: Steel reinforced concrete, walls with sheet-metal insulation, installing the units against a metal surface.
- DO NOT install the infrared sensor/transmitter and reflector under 2-feet high.
- DO NOT apply 117V AC directly, use only the transformers 12VAC 20VA provided in the kit.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATIONS
Installation NOT Recommended
INSTALLING THE INFRARED SENSOR/TRANSMITTER (EWPT-202)
-
Select a suitable location for the infrared sensor/transmitter.
-
Remove the 2-back screws from the infrared sensor/transmitter to open the unit (Refer to Fig. 2 ).
-
Remove a knock-out from the infrared sensor/transmitter back plate to feed the power wires thru (Refer to Fig. 3).
-
Using the 6-ft power cord with in-line switch, connect the pre-stripped wires to the 12V AC 20VA transformer terminals (refer to Fig. 4). Strip the insulation on the opposite ends of the wires back approximately 1/4inch, and insert into sensor/transmitter terminals labeled 12V AC input (Refer to Fig. 5).
DO NOT PLUG TRANSFORMER INTO AC OUTLETAT THIS TIME. The transformer MUST BE plugged in
during the alignment procedure.
NOTE: Prevent excess wires from lying across the floor, as you may trip over them. If necessary, use cable ties
to keep the wires safely out of the way. -
The travel direction switch must be properly placed depending on where the infrared sensor/transmitter is installed (refer to Fig 5). Factory set for left hand side entry as you enter the location(refer to Fig. A-C ).
-
Install the infrared sensor/transmitter mounting bracket(s) (refer to Fig. 6).
-
Replace the back plate and secure it using the 2 screws provided.
-
Secure the bracket using the bolt provided (refer to Fig. 6).
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS RECEIVER WITH BUILT-IN CHIME AND COUNTER (EWPR-202)
RECEIVER PRE-INSTALLATION TEST PROCEDURE
BEFORE INSTALLING THE WIRELESS RECEIVER INA PERMANENT LOCATION THE FOLLOWING
TEST SHOULD BE cONDUCTED.
-
Remove the screw from the bottom of the receiver and separate the front cover from the wireless receiver (refer to Fig. 7).
-
Locate the terminals labeled AC on the main board (refer to Fig. 8)
-
Using the 6-ft power cord connect the pre-stripped wires to the 12V AC 20VA transformer terminals (refer to Fig. 9). Strip the insulation on the opposite ends of the wires back approximately 1/4inch, and insert into receiver terminals labeled 12V AC input (Refer to Fig. 8).
NOTE: Prevent excess wires from lying across the floor, as you may trip over them. If necessary, use cable ties to keep the wires safely out of the way. -
Connect the 12VAC 20VA power transformer to an AC power outlet. Make sure that the in-ine switch is in the ON position, and the receiver power switch is in the ON position.
-
Turn the receiver volume control up.
-
Trigger the infrared sensor/transmitter by walking across the infrared beam. If the receiver chimes when the beam is interrupted you are within range. If NO sound is heard, you are out of range and the receiver must be installed closer to the infrared sensor/transmitter.
RECEIVER PERMANENT INSTALLATION
-
Secure the TOP mounting screw to the wall leaving some length of the screw out to hang the receiver
(Refer to Fig. 10). -
Align thee receiver housing and secure the BOTTOM mounting screw firmly in place (Refer to Fig. 8).
-
Replace the receiver front cover and secure it using the screw provided (Refer to Fig. 7).
Note: Do not cut, curl or extend the antenna wire.
INSTALLING THE REFLECTOR
FOR PROPER OPERATIONS IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALIGN THE REFLECTOR
PROPERLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION OR GENERATE REPEATED CHIMES UNLESS THE
REFLECTOR AND THE TRANCEIVER ARE PRECISELY ALIGNED.
-
Make sure that the infrared transceiver is installed firmly facing the intended direction where the reflector is to be installed.
-
Plug in the transformer to power the unit.
THE CHIME MAY CONTINUOUSLY SOUND AFTERA WHILE DURING THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE UNTIL THE SYSTEMIS PROPERLY ALIGNED. HOWEVER THIS IS AN INDICATION OF MISALIGNMENT, NOT THE DEFECT. -
Assemble the bracket to the reflector with proper mounting screws provided together. THE USE OF IMPROPER SCREWS
MAY DAMAGE THE REFLECTOR. DO NOT SECURE THE BRACKET TO THE WALL AT THIS STAGE, WHICH MAY MAKE ALIGNMENT OF THE REFLECTOR DIFFICULT. -
Hold the reflector in front of the infrared transmitter and adjust the angle slowly S THAT BOTH OF THE ALIGNMENT INDICATOR LED LIGHT UP. If it is difficult to make both of the alignment LEDs ON then start at the closer distance and then move slowly behind to the Intended installation position maintaining the angle.
-
Secure the reflector in place making sure the alignment LED’s stay ON.
WIRELESS PUSH BUTTON INSTALLATION
- Select a suitable location for the wireless push button.
- Test the unit first to make sure you are within range of the receiver.
- Remove the screw from the bottom of the sensor/transmitter and separate the front cover (refer to Fig. 10).
- Using the 1/2 ” sheet metal screws provided secure the back plate to a flat non-metal surface.
- Replace the front cover and secure it using the screw provided (refer to Fig.10)
Note: The range between the wireless push button and the receiver is 200 ft. in open field. Installing the wireless push button against a metal surface will significantly reduced the range.
