PREPARING CONTROL BOX FOR PHOTO-EYE WIRING

■ MAKE SURE THE POWER IS TURNED OFF AND BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED TO THE CONTROL BOX BEFORE WIRING
■ On the bottom of the control box, there is a built-in knockout for wires. Drill a hole and knock it out and install a strain relief.
This is where your wires will feed up into the control box and connect to the control board.

PAIR 1 PHOTO-EYE INSTALLATION AND WIRING

PAIR 1 Photo Eye RECEIVER needs to be installed on the Control Box side of the gate opener. The TRANSMITTER needs to be installed facing and across from the RECEIVER. You will also need to dig a trench for the two (2) TRANSMITTER wires to go across and connect the TRANSMITTER TO THE RECEIVER. The RECEIVER wires will then connect to the control box. Use 20-22 AWG gauge stranded wire. (see CLOSING -REVERSE CONNECTION DIAGRAM next page).

MOUNTING PRECAUTIONS

Never mount your detector where plants, direct sunlight, and headlights could obstruct the beam between the transmitter and receiver. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE SURFACE IS EVEN AND NOT UNSTABLE. See diagrams below

MOUNTING YOUR PHOTO-EYES ON A POLE (FOLLOW DIAGRAMS BELOW)

■ Loosen the screw on the underside of Photo-Eye and back out approximately 1/4 inch.
■ Gently lift the cover from the bottom side and angle slightly outwards (as shown).
■ Slide the cover upwards and then forwards to remove the cover from the housing.
■ USE METAL PIPE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT

MOUNTING YOUR PHOTO-EYES ON A WALL (FOLLOW DIAGRAMS NEXT PAGE)

■ Loosen the screw on the underside of Photo-Eye and back out approximately 1/4 inch.
■ Gently lift the cover from the bottom side and angle slightly outwards (as shown).
■ Slide the cover upwards and then forwards to remove the cover from the housing.

Note: for the wall-mounting method, the two rubber knockouts will need to be removed from the housing.

MOUNTING DISTANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

■ The unit will turn off the display and the buzzer after 1 minute of power- up. The unit is still fully functional only the display is turned off.

ADJUSTING RESPONSE TIME ON THE RECEIVER

■ When set all the way clockwise means a faster response time (50 msec).
■ When set all the way counterclockwise means a slower response time (240 msec).
■ Factory setting response time is set approximately in the middle.
