Confirm contents of package: 1 sensor, 1 cable, 1 wide lens (default), 1 narrow lens, mounting template, User's Guide.
Install the sensor at the desired location. Use the enclosed mounting template for drilling locations.
Wire the sensor per the application. Generally, the output wires (brown and blue) will connect to safety at the door
control. The relay output from the IRIS is a dry contact. Note: The IRIS cable is the same as a Wizard II cable. Wire
color and connection points are identified below.
Red Power: 12 to 24 VAC / DC (+)
Black Power: 12 to 24 VAC / DC (-)
White Relay 1: Auxiliary Output
Green Relay 1: Auxiliary Output
Brown Relay 2: COM (to COM input at door control)
Blue Relay 2: NO (to SAFETY input at door control).
Apply the specified power and observe the red LED on the IRIS.
Red LED should come on, and remain on throughout the setup. Door should remain open during setup. When
complete, red LED goes out, and door should close. This takes about 6 seconds if uninterrupted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: During sensor setup, the sensor may or may not cause a door opening cycle. This is because
the output from the sensor may be tied to the safety circuit of the door controller, which is typically disabled at the
closed door position. For a quick setup, this is Ok. For an assisted setup, the installer must launch the setup, then
active the door to the open position immediately thereafter. A normal setup routine will then follow.
The most common defaults have been applied to the sensor. Below, are the most critical for proper door operation,
and are the first ones to check if unexpected behavior occurs:
 Relay Configuration: By default it is set to Active (value 4) – the IRIS relay contact closes upon detection. If
passive is required, change the output configuration value to 1. The most obvious indication to this condition is
that the door works in reverse order – no detection results in hold open.
 Pulse Frequency: If an interference is suspected from other nearby sensors or IR equipment, change the
frequency of the IRIS. Default is value 1, change to value 3. Values 2 and 4 are not used.
Additionally, the angle of the infrared curtain will need to be adjusted. If the curtain is too close to the door, the door
will appear to recycle on its own. A curtain that is too far from the door will be in violation of applicable standards –
for most applications.
Adjust the curtain so that detection occurs within 3" from the face of the door. Turn the adjustment screw in
clockwise to draw the curtain in closer to the door.
Always walk-test the sensor pattern when completed. The performance of the sensor should comply with all
standards relative to the application.
As a minimum, the sensor pattern width should be equal to or greater than the width of the clear door opening.
To test the performance of the sensor, stand motionless in the detection area for 30 seconds. Door should stay
open with no attempt to close.
Document all work. For future reference, be sure to record the IRIS serial number on your work order.
Educate the Owner / Manager as to the proper operation of the sensor, and door system, and what to do to ensure
safe use of the door in the event of discovering a malfunction. Show them how to perform a daily safety check of the
sensor.
NOTE: Be sure to reference the complete User's Guide if additional information is required.
