IMPORTANT
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.
The MLC-K36/K72 Light Curtain is a UL-approved light curtain that can be used
in place of a monitored photo-eye. It provides additional protection for the
area above the floor, protecting people and vehicles more effectively than a
single-beam eye.

Installation
-
Unpack the tube and identify which stick is the Emitter (2 wires) and which is the Receiver (4 wires). The Receiver typically mounts on the same side as the operator.
-
Identify the preferred location, usually close to the door
tracks on the inside of the door opening. -
Attach the brackets to any available mounting points, using the screws provided or other appropriate hardware. One bracket should go approximately 6” below the top and another 6”above the bottom of the sticks. For the 6-foot sticks, an additional bracket should be added in the middle.
-
Make sure the brackets are all in-line. The functional operating distance between Emitter and Receiver is between 6 feet and 33 feet.
-
Press the sticks into the brackets. The flat surface should be facing across the door opening so that the sticks are pointing at each other and the bottoms are resting on the floor.
-
Wire the sticks to the operator. A total of six (6) wires need to connect at the operator, 2 run from the Emitter and 4 from the Receiver. The black and red wires from both sticks will connect to the accessory power or external power supply(12-24 volts DC). The Green and White wires will connect to the photo-eye input (ex: LMEP & Common). Refer to the electrical connection diagram.
-
Note that only one device can be connected to the photo-eye
input on the operator. -
Confirm that the Green LED is ON at the bottom of both sticks. 2-9. The Red LED on the receiver indicates either an obstruction or a misalignment. The light curtains have a wide acceptance angle and should align easily. Test proper operation of the sticks by standing in the opening and observing the Red LED turns ON.
-
Test for proper operation with the operator and door.
