LIGHT CURTAIN CONTROLLER WIRING
- Drill holes and install cord grip (826310-3444) in the bottom of the controller case.
- The programmable input needs to be programmed to function photoeye1, logic set to NC for the light curtain to function correctly.
- Any unused programmable input may be used. Refer to door installation manual for programming instructions.
- The white sync wires need to be connected to each other with a wire nut (500229-0001) to operate correctly. They do not connect to the controller.
TESTING AND TROUBLESHOOTING
- The transmitter and receiver have a green LED light to indicate the power is on. If you do not see the green LED light, check the 24 VDC with a multimeter.
- The receiver has an amber LED to indicate the light curtain path is clear. When an object is in the light curtain path, the amber light will turn off. Amber LED will flash on power up when beams are blocked. Raise the curtain or remove the blockage to clear. If no amber LED light on the receiver, check if there is any misalignment or blockage between the transmitter and the receiver.
- Test the reversing function by closing the door and placing an object in the light curtain. The door will reverse and open fully.
