à Make sure that the cover of the door control is fitted correctly and earthed. à If unauthorised changes are made to the system, GEZE cannot be held liable in any way whatsoever for any resulting damage, and the approval for use in escape routes or emergency exits ceases.
GC 342 safety sensor Safety à Only original GEZE parts may be used for repair and maintenance work. à Observe the latest versions of directives, standards and country-specific regulations, in particular: à aSR a1.7 “Doors and gates” à DIN 18650 “Building hardware – Powered pedestrian doors”...
Description GC 342 safety sensor Environmentally conscious working When disposing of the door system, separate the different materials and have them recycled. Description The GC 342 is a safety sensor based on laser technology for automatic swing doors. To safeguard the rotating door leaf and the finger protection area, one module each must be installed in the top corner on both sides of the door leaf.
Installation GC 342 safety sensor Installation Before attaching the mounting plate, make sure that the sensor does not ob- struct door movement. If the sensor is not positioned correctly it can become crushed during opening of the door. For optimum safety, install one module on each door wing side and inter- connect the two modules using a door connection cable BS/BGS.
à For compliance with EN 16005 and DIN 18650, the test output of the door control must be wired and able to test the sensor. à The sensor is tested with GND. Disable ECO-mode for connection to a GEZE Powerturn. Special installation situations 7. 1...
Special installation situations GC 342 safety sensor Hinge side: Extended secondary closing edge protection and wall blanking function inactive. Opposite hinge side: Extended main closing edge protection inactive. Use the drive wall blanking. Use mechanical protection for the secondary closing edge if necessary.
GC 342 safety sensor Special installation situations Retrofit Makes use of an on site cable possible. Cut the door transmission cable to the correct length. Strip the 5 wires and connect them in accordance with the wiring diagram. Heed the polarity of the power supply.
Special installation situations GC 342 safety sensor Protective cover If a movement detector is mounted very close to a GC 342, the mirror rotation can be interpreted as radar activation. The protective cover made of metal prevents activation of the radar and protects the sensor against...

Parameter setting GC 342 safety sensor Parameter setting Parameter setting is carried out using the DIP switches. Change the DIP switch. The LED flashes orange. Confirming the setting Press the push button for longer than 3 s. > 3 s The LED indicates the number of modules connected by flashing green (x times).
Parameter setting GC 342 safety sensor DIP switches 2–4 Parameter Switch position DIP 2 Environment Standard Critical Switch to “Critical” if the environment cause unwanted detections (min. object size, immunity and uncovered zones are increased) DIP 3 Background Switch to “Off” if there is no back- ground (glass floor, footbridge etc.)
