Sensing Field

Detection Angle of the Sensor:
5. Lay the test card on the ground with its mark parallel to the door.
6. Place the test specimen on the door-side of the test card mark. (see Figure
3.7).
7. Aim the sensor down vertically.
8. Use the chassis lever to swivel the sensor forward until it detects the test
specimen (20 cm height) and the red LED illuminates.
9. Swivel the sensor's light beam slowly further away from the door sees the
ground again (LED switches from red to green).
10. Now use the M3 screw (g) to attach the module to the module holder. The
detection angle has now been set.
This setting has been competed now.
Checking the Sensing range adjustment
11. Use the test card to check the sensing range adjustment once again.
For operation as a safety sensor in complying with German standard DIN 18650,
the sensing range has to be set to approx. 12.5 cm

4 Sensing Field
Depending on the application and the door width, a master module can be supplemented with up to
seven slave modules.
We recommend to adjusting the straight (vertical) transmitting / receiving beam of the corresponding
sensor module no further than 10 cm away from the main leading edge.
.Figure 4.1 illustrates the installation for different door panel widths.
